Goodbye Fedor vs. Crocop: The HW division is on a whole new level now

[The XL]

That's pathetic. Big Nog would demolish Stipe....firefighter is just so overrated.

Fedor would kill Stipe round 1.

Nog got outboxed by Frank Mir and was getting beaten on by Tim Sylvia for most of their fight. Big Nog likely wouldn't do shit.

Those two men would each lose badly to the two men who fought last night

That’s what you’re missing.

I agree.

Stipe is so hard to hit, has amazing 1-2 combos and is lightning fast. No way Fedor or Crocop could touch him.

And DC would abuse Crocops left leg with his tummy.

Daniel Cormier is in his early 40s with plenty of mileage. But keep making excuses for guys that got bodied when they were nearly a decade younger.

DC started MMA at 25.

Fedor was in the sport for 10 years and in his early 30s when he was "out of his prime." Daniel Cormier has been in the sport for 10 years, is in his early 40s, and is still one of the best fighters on the planet. These excuses for these Pride guys are weak.

Prime Big Nog would probably sub or KO Stipe.

Ya ... ok bud. Keep thinking that.

I'm the biggest Cro Cop fan, but Stipe and DC both destroy Mirko. And they both destroy Prime Big Nog.

Now Fedor is another question -- he was clearly a level ahead of the heavyweights from his time. I think Prime DC vs Prime Fedor would be a great fight.

Cormier would put them both on a big ride to the ground whenever he wanted and would likely KO fedor eventually and submit cro cop

Stipe knocks them both out and takes down cro cop at will if he needs or chooses to

They both lost their #1 HW ranking spot after 10 years.

Except DC held it for 7 years, unlike Fedro.

Also DC has more fights.

28 year old Nog or 34 year old Nog? Big difference. Nog just had many miles on him, as a fighter of skill he is just so much more talented than Mir and Tim Sylvia. Closer to good days Nog would smoke Mir/Sylvia me thinks.

True.

Gus can stuff TD's and hurt DC but Fedor and Crocop can't. DC's liver is also untouchable.

Stipe would stand flat footed in front of Fedor, duck his punches and land 1-2's all night.

28=34

There's no difference bro. UFC facts.

I'm out boys.

Keep owning these Pride fanboys.

Cheers.

stipe's footwork is levels above the wild and non technical style of striking and footwork fedor has

in fact, stipe's footwork is a huge reason hes the GOAT and why hes out struck every single legend they put in front of him

gustafsson would give fedor and cro cop trouble in their prime, btw.

MMA has and will continue to evolve. The Pride days was my favorite time but these new UFC fights can be pretty jaw opening.

 

[Crimson Fury]

Good to see you back, Claude.

28=34

Lol just stop.

Mir went through a brutal motorcycle accident and had several KO losses.

 

[Greco_Wiz]

True.

UFC fighter = top fighter

Entering the UFC is like qualifying for the olympics.

At least you’re trying to be clever with the sarcasm.

 

[justalurker]

Time to leave the nostalgia behind and accept the HW division has evolved tremendously.​

Post of the year!

 

[Viper2]

Prime Fedor would have absolutely destroyed Stipe, Cormier, Ngannou, and Jones. People who don't realize this, haven't seen all of Fedor's matches in his prime. He was way more powerful and way quicker than any of these guys.

 

[JBJISGOAT]

So what you're REALLY saying is that smaller guys like Fedor and CC juiced to fight in HW while your big boy Jones avoided HW like a plague despite all that juicing.

Yup. Can't have the same ball game when you have different ball sizes.

Remind me of a time where Jon came close to miss weight?

Matter of fact, remind me of a time where Jon even had to go to the towel?

Nice try though…

 

[JBJISGOAT]

Pre USADA DC was untouchable.

Your trolling is back and better than ever.
