Fabricio Werdum Elects His Top 5 HW's Off All Time, Includes Himself

Some of you are hilarious.

Thats his own personal list, you guys are entitled to make your own.

Its like knocking someone on their top 5 foods....
 
I think werdum has sold himself short...Thanks from big assist from master Cordeiro,I have Fabricio at #1 right now.If he should defend belt Saturday and then follow that up with avenging the losses of Reem and Jds, he could arguably be the best of all time of any weight class.
 
Ironically all guys that he has beaten. I would put JDS at #4 and Cain at #5, agree with the first three though.



How is JDS higher than Cain? This shit dont make sense. Cain decisively whooped that ass 2 times and looks to still be better than JDS.

JDS has beaten several more top 5 and top 10 fighters. Should Bigfoot and Hendo be ranked higher than Fedor?

Come on dude Cain has been a champion for a much longer time than JDS. The only thing keeping Cain from being the GOAT HW are his injuries.

Look at their resumes and tell me Cain is better than JDS with a straight face.

Cain was champ for such a long time BECAUSE of his injuries. JDS just has a better resume plain and simple.

He beat Brock for the belt, beat JDS twice for the belt and beat BigFoot for the belt. All JDS did was beat Cain for the belt once when Cain came in injured.

Look at me with a straight face and try to tell me JDS didn't get the fuck beat out of him twice by Cain.

Cain>JDS.
 
He isn't some new champ that has to prove himself by defending it. He's a veteran of the sport who has one of the best HW resumes ever, including wins over Fedor, Nog and Cain.

Yes that makes him an all-time great heavyweight. It doesn't automatically make him a great UFC champion.
 
I love Hunt, but ...

And Cain hasn't done enough to be top 5. Then again, it's HW, so I'm not sure who 4-5 would be. Probably CroCop and Randy or Barnett.
 
Jeez guy let him defend his belt before you start labelling him the greatest UFC HW champ

I figured that would me brought up. I'm saying I believe Werdum as champion could beat any other champ the UFC had. Sure, Tim Sylvia has more title defences than about anyone, but this Werdum I believe would beat any version of Big Tim. Hence, the greater HW. A man at his best that could beat anyone no matter the brief period of time he was at his best is my criteria. Some don't judge it that way, some do. That's why I have a fondness with Iron Mike/Cus because I think they were as close to the boxing world got for creating the greatest hw. From 86 to 88 he (could) have beaten anybody in history, and for that alone I think warrants a top 10 list.

I bet Fabricio beating Fedor was better than winning the UFC title for him. There was a time Fedor was the baddest man on the planet that could wreck the entire UFC roster, Werdum recognizes this and rightfully puts him at number one.

I think he's a bit premature on the call for himself. Let's see...Ummmm ZERO title defenses yet. He's good and a likeable guy it seems, but come on!
Big Nog never had a successful title defense...

Are you a fucking idiot?
 
He know3s if he faces Mark again with a full camp non altitude...
