Do u honestly think that prime Fedor could beat prime JDS?

[kenetics]

JDS was an absolute destroying machine and looked unstoppable until the incredible Cain! I doubt very much that Fedor would’ve been able to stop prime JDS and the reason why is JDS is extremely hard to take down and control and he stings u from every direction especially his uppercut. What do u think?

Jds has quit in multiple matches... No.

Threads like this make me wonder if TS watched Fedor in those days

He probably watched them in passing and then saw the polarizing finish losses of late. The era you came up in usually tends to hold more weight.

Fedor puts JDS' back against the ropes and beats the shit out of him in the clinhc

 

[Repusman]

Fedor was only 33 when he had 3 losses in a row, the last one to a middleweight. Although he had a lot of fights by that point, he didnt have a lot of MMA mileage, having snuffed out many cans very quickly. Prime JDS would have snuffed him out quickly. Fedor was a GOAT in his day but def not a modern day GOAT. He fought a lot of cans and beat them easily but when he fought anyone tougher, always 3 round decisions.

Prime Severn grinds them both to a 30 min draw

Absolutely I do. Fedor was far more well-rounded than JDS, much quicker, and had just as much power.

All prime
Fedor vs Cain and JDS vs Cro Cop would be awesome.

 

[JKS]

Yes I do think a prime Fedor would beat JDS. He's got just the style and skill set to beat him.

Fedor would figure jds out.once it hits ground fedor would be relentless

 

[Gio]

Of course he can. JDS at his prime is super tough with heavy hands. But we saw how he does when an aggressive fighter is putting pressure on him. I think Fedor can weather the early storm and could also take a lot of punishment yet stay composed. Then I see him mixing it up with grappling and strikes mid in the fight and outwork JDS. Gonna be a barn burner. If they'll be fighting in their primes today I would say it's a toss up for me.

 

[letgodiego]

its easy to say these things now, although i still dont agree, but if you were watching fedor back then, the respect the other fighters paid him spoke volumes. to go undefeated that long at heavyweight, will never even come close

 

[thewhiterooster]

"could"?!? of course. anything could happen in a fight.

JDS had elite striking, elite TDD, elite chin, elite cardio, and a black belt BJJ. Tough fight for Fedor.

 

[RockyLockridge]

fedor would trash him one must think

A McDonald's bjj blackbelt maybe. JDS's idea of a bottom game has always been to just randomly flail about...

 

[I am your real dad]

Yes
I honestly do think that.

 

[Mike]

I don't even think that's a bad match-up for Fedor tbh

Who's BJJ doesn't look amateur with Cain Velasquez on top smashing your face.

Obviously. I have no reason to think JDS had better TDD than Crocop. Fedor made it look easy taking Crocop down.

I think Fedor had a lot better showing against prime Crocop than prime JDS did against washed up Crocop.

I hate MMA Math but everything you said was true. Prime Mirko had otherworldly TDD.
