Fedor Is Still Better Than Jones

Based on achievement, Jones is far ahead of Fedor. Just compare their wins. So many of the guys Jones has beaten in his title run are former UFC champions, not to mention these victims are far better skill-wise than Fedor's opponents (and some of them are better than Fedor as well).

Based on skill, Jones is far ahead of Fedor.
 
Sherdog will never allow any fighter to surpass fedor because of his mystique. Haha doesn't matter if a guy goes like 30 and 0...
 
Jones has surpassed GSP and Anderson, but Fedor may still be slightly ahead of him in achievement.

Fedor was undefeated for over 10 years until he suffered his first real loss. In that span he beat notable fighters

Mark Coleman x2
Kevin Randleman
Mirko Cro Cop
Minotaur Nogeiura x3
Tim Silvia
Andre Arlovski
Mark Hunt
Heath Herring

Jones is undefeated for 7 years, and has beaten of note

DC
Gus
Texeira
Sonnen
Belfort
Evans
Rampage
Machida
Shogun

Jones has a slightly better resume of beaten fighters, but I think that's mainly because he fought during a more stacked period. Fedor beat most of the best HW's of his era, and the few great HW's he didn't get to fight (Couture, Barnett, Mir) didn't favor nearly as well again common fighters and its safe to say Fedor was better than them.

There wasn't a HW during his reign that was close to accomplishing what Fedor did.

I believe Jones will surpass him very soon, possibly within the year, but Fedor's greatness cannot be understated. Over 10 years undefeated in MMA as a HW world champion is very hard to accomplish.

LOL, Brandon Schaub is better that Fedor, much less Jones.
 
Fedor was alot faster and more explosive than Jon Jones, also he hit alot harder. Also Jon Jones is always bigger than his opponnents while Fedor mostly was smaller than his opponents.

At HW most fighters have a punchers chance and i think there is a quite big chance that Jon Jones would have got caught by a knockout punch/kick if he fought at HW since he isnt that fast in his movement and reflexes.
 
Fyodor never had any questionable wins like Jones did with Gus
 
the thing is, Fedor crushed 95% of his opponents.
Nog often had wars or was losing/being crushed before submitting his opponent.

One of the biggest myths in MMA.

Sapp, Crocop, and Timmy. Those are his come-from-behind sub wins.
 
I'm sorry, but did Jon Jones retire? The guy has had a crazy amount of success and he's only 27.
 
Jon Jones is 27 years, 5 months old. When Fedor was the same age...

Jon Jones: 20 - 1 on a 12 fight win streak and the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
Fedor: 17 - 1 on a 13 fight win streak and the PRIDE Heavyweight Champion.

Jones top wins include Cormier, Machida, Gustafsson, Evans and Shogun.

Fedors top wins included Nogueria, Herring, Arona, Schilt and Babalu.

Jones is scheduled to fight the winner of Gustafsson/Johnson.

Fedor next fought Mark Coleman.
 
No, no he really isn't.

It's funny how Fedor fans can't even present a sound argument as to why Fedor is 'GOAT'

Jones consistently faces top competition, he was crushing the guy he lost a DQ to, and has broken numerous records at a historically stronger division than HW.

I'm a fan of fedor but ^this^.

Yup. The reason people believe it though is because those 3 fights are so memorable.

And because he took 2 beatings from Fedor without getting stopped.
 
Of course Fedor is better.

Jones > Fedor.
Jones would also beat Fedor in a fight.

And Pedro Martinez would strike out Lou Gehrig 99% of the time. Gehrig > Martinez if you understand the context.
 
during fedor's reign, he never got his ass kicked, like jones did against gustafsson. his fight with gus really tarnished his, "goat" legacy. even though it counts as a win on the win-column, jones's aura was tarnished that night.

So GOATS can't be in wars for which they trained, they're just suppose to be invincible golden Gods only to be talked about and praised...? MAN GTFO!
