Fedor or Chuck Liddell: Which of them was most relevant in MMA history?

[DanDragon Machi]

Fedor was much more dominant and I have no doubt he was a better fighter than Cuck. But I feel Liddel was most important to UFC route than Fedor to Pride
Chuck was most iconic, popular and his two victories on Couture had more impact than Fedor on Crocop taking their two bigger victories. Fedor has a better resume. Liddel has more belt defenses (4x3). Fedor had more "unbeaten aura"

Fedor to the actual fans, Chuck to the filthy casuals

Did Fedor die or something? Why all the threads about him? Will my answer change your opinion in any way?

While Chuck was banging pornstars Fedor was banging out all the heavyweight greats ... becoming a GOAT

 

[Barteh]

Fedor will be remembered as one of the GOATs in 50 years.

Chuck would be lucky if they're still using the gifs of him spazzing out in 10 years.

 

[World eater]

Is that a serious question? I half expected a line about Couture being in the Expendables.

 

[Luthien]

Never liked Chuck that much

 

[jikjik]

Chuck is good, but not the level of Fedor good.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Culturally chuck by a mile. He is the star during the most important stretch of mma. Fedor in the cage or ring is way better obviously

i personally disagree. off the bat i was going to say chuck because he did help popularize mma to the masses, though i think that was in only a short time period. but over time, i think it is now fedor. because he is seen as one of the goats, his relevance has far surpassed chucks now. both legends in their own right of course.

It depends on what you mean by relevant. In terms of relevance in the greater historical context of fighting, easily Fedor.

In terms of UFC commercial relevance, easily Chuck. Chuck was big during the post-TUF season 1 giant commercial leap made by the UFC. It went from a money-hemorrhaging sinking ship to a relevant organization after that.

Would have been a fun fight in their primes. Id give Chuck the significant standup advantage but Fedors grappling would be overwealing.

 

[cmw43]

Chuck had more people watching his fights and was bigger in popular culture during his run.

Fedors legacy will be remembered longer as an all time great.

 

[RiskiestCookie]

I love Fedor but chuck is the correct answer

 

[TR1]

Fedor will be remembered as one of the GOATs in 50 years.

Chuck would be lucky if they're still using the gifs of him spazzing out in 10 years.

lol this is brutal.

Fedor is on a different level than Chuck, but lets be fair.

Chuck's resume has aged very well- especially with what a farce LHW has been for near a decade now.

 

[HHJ]

Fedor will be remembered as one of the GOATs in 50 years.

Chuck would be lucky if they're still using the gifs of him spazzing out in 10 years.

Chuck will still be remembered fondly, regardless.

 

[Lycandroid]

In North America it's Chuck and its not even close, however internationally it's Fedor and again it's not even close.

 

[HHJ]

TS has a hard on for trying to mess w Fedor's glorious bulletproof epically long saga of a legacy

Feed 'im to the pigs Errol.

 

[AmericanUppercut]

Fedor, one zillion percent.
Chuck was cool tho.

 

[pick999]

If you ask 100 Americans 99 percent of them will probably say Chuck
