former UFC fighters vs current champs

[Egészségére!]

how would these 4 former UFC fighters do against the current UFC champs?

1. Henderson vs Nurmegomedov

2. MacDonald vs Woodley

3. Mousasi vs Whittaker

4. Davis vs DC

I doubt the ufc would go 4-0. Probably Rory and Ben have the best chances but they would all be competitive imo

Rory beats woodley, Mousasi loses decision to Whitaker, dc beats the fuck out of Davis and khabib takes bensons soul

if we're talking in their current forms bendo has fallen off the worst by far. hes not even a top 10 guy. at least davis moose and rory are still at the top level.

rory and moose have the best chances, bendo gets wrecked cuz he fell off and davis just doesnt have much for dc, he can offer less then moose and rory can offer whittaker and woodley

So weird to see Phil Davis get a TKO lollllll

Hell of a grappler though.

Why wouldn't you do Bader vs DC? Fight should have happened, and Bader is 2-0 over Davis....

yeah bader can def offer more than davis can. hes got a stronger punch and is prob a little quicker and has better footwork. davis is still awkward on the feet

Khabib ragdolls Benson

Woodley knocks Rory out

Mousasi vs Whittaker? IDK. I want to say Mousasi but I'd probably have to pick Whittaker if a gun was to my head.

DC vs Phil Davis? Be real

How about Bellator guys who've never been in the UFC but might offer a challenge.

Chandler / Khabib?

Carvalho / Whittaker?

Caldwell / Dillashaw?

It's sad that he never got that DC fight or the Gus fight. His departure from the UFC was ill-timed. Right when things were really coming together for him.

I was gonna post my opinion, but this nails it. It's so much easier to quote someone than to come up with your own opinion

Wouldn't bet on any 3 Bellator guys but I'd be stoked to see these matchups. I wish cross-promotion was a thing sooo bad.

Yeah, remember this post fight Bader / DC clash?

Hell yeah! Would not pick Bader over DC to be clear, but I think he'd be one of the tougher fights DC could have at 205.

Prime Benson would be an interesting matchup for Khabib.

About the only guy I'd give a chance to is Caldwell, based on his total demolition of Joe Warren and pretty much everyone else he's faced. Dude has skills.

This is one of the best posts I've seen on here in a long time! I actually think Chandler would match up real well against Khabib, he is a great wrestler and would be a bit quicker and with that short and stocky build, hard to take down. I would love to see that fight, as well as Caldwell fight Dillashaw and Carvalho vs Whittaker. Amazing match ups, that would be such a wicked fight card if they could ever pull it off.

Right on, thanks. I always love the cross-promotion what ifs.
