Firas is asked to break down a hypothetical matchup between Prime Fedor and Prime Cain Velasquez.



What do you guys think of this matchup? Do you agree with Firas, or do you have a different perspective?

Umm good luck trying to get out from under maniac Cain in his prime. He was a wrecking ball. He had cardio, striking, exceptional GnP too

i always thought that. Fedor is equally dangerous everywhere. Cain is only really dangerous if he's attacking. Fedor has shown he can counter and simultaneously avoid getting hit. if Cain is not attacking, he's not dangerous in that same way. but i think JDS would give Fedor a harder time than he gave Cain.

JDS has become the most underrated HW of all time, in his prime he beat guys like Cain, Stipe, Hunt, Werdum, Carwin, Mir. But the wars with Stipe and Cain literally ruined him, his face looked completely different after that. Then he was just a punching bag cashing 6 figure checks getting nuked by everyone. New fans came in and only saw that.

maybe in relative terms but in 2010 you didn't have guys like Tom Aspinall.

science builds on knowledge of yesterday.

A cage vs a ring would create different outcomes. Cain would work Fedor against the cage. Even Rogers gave him a hard time there. But in a ring Fedor wins by KO or a sub.

Prime Fedor wrecks every UFC fighter at any point in their career.
