Gustafsson beat Cormier…

Gusto fought likely 2 best ever LHWs. Barely lost to both - but ......... HE LOST BOTH.

He clearly lost to Jones and he beat DC

No he didn't. It was a close fight and it could of gone either way. A flip fight should go to Champ an it did both times.

Gustafsson who fought Jones, DC, Thiago Silva and Glover was one of the 20 best p4p MMA fighters all time. So sad his career suddenly declined so much and he is not seen today as the exceptional fighter he was

He was easily a better fighter than Pereira and will not be remembered not even nearly as much as a legend as the brazilian will be

 

[jsbx45]

He clearly landed the more effective strikes in round 4 and more of them total

Disagree. Your boy lost.

 

[RonDante]

Disagree. Your boy lost.

I’m not a gustafsson fan and I wasn’t when he was active. I think he clearly lost to Jones with no argument for him winning that fight

 

[The XL]

His fights vs Jones and DC are probably the two most impressive performances in a loss in MMA history. Both of those fights could have gone either way

RESULTS determine who is better.

Always.

IMO he lost both fights. Disagree with your take on the 4th round. Was on his back foot entire round. Not even close.

So Forrest > Rumble lol

So Forrest > Rumble lol

stop it lmao

Who would win head to head? Rumble. But yes Griffin was a champion and Rumble was not, because Rumble had a harder division to try to do it it.

You can't take such a one dimensional viewpoint on these things.

Moving backwards doesn’t matter

You are contradicting yourself

If results define who is the best and Forrest had better results (since he was champion) then Forrest > Rumble
This only shows that this premise is wrong

Forrest is more accomplished. That doesn't mean he was the better fighter.

I never rewatched it but never though of it as close actually
