With a record of 51-11 against top level competition since 2001, he finds a way to cut to 265. How does he do against:
Werdum
Jones
Cormier
Cain
Stipe
Jds
Hunt
Overeem
Arlovski
Rumble
Browne
Rothwell

One of the best kickboxers ever, Semmy was also a decent MMA fighter in his prime. Easily top 5 at nowadays HW division.
 
He would lose decisions to the good wrestlers.
 
Semmy is only 6'11"...which means Jones would still have a 14" reach advantage.
 
Semmy was decent in MMA given his lack of specific training for the sport. Always dangerous due to his length and striking prowess, but he couldn't make the 265 lb limit.
 
I see a overhand right ko somewhere in there

He was 290. He can make it. He'd be thicker than struve but that's it. Come in at 285. That's next to nothing

Once he hit his stride in MMA he went 16-4 in his last 20 with his only losses to Fedor, Barnett, Sergei and Nog during that period. He could have been a force if he stuck with it
 
He'd do fairly well, definitely a top 10 in my opinion
 
If they're stupid enough to stand with him for any length of time, he'd smash them.

There are quite a few HW that don't seem to fight any other way and Semmy would destroy these guys.
 
Dangerous striker. Wasn't good at preventing the takedown. Long, thin frame hindered him on the ground as well.
 
He wrecks shop. Prime schilt in kickboxing is the most accomplished HW kickboxer, and he did it in a relatively short career.

Even in MMA, he dropped a lot of fights in Pancrase, but that's just what you did. in MMA, he did good work in PRIDE up until Fedor, and even then, Fedor struggled to do anything but take him down, Schilt's control on the bottom was very good. He has a ton of skills that fighters in MMA period aren't bringing the the table, let alone heavyweights.
 
He was like a cheat code in K-1 and it must have been frustrating as fuck trying to fight him.
