A lot of people think Fedor is the GOAT. However he got KO'd by a MW Dan Henderson. I thought HW was supposed to test Jon Jones because all HW's have more power but how then did the all time best HW get knocked out by a MW? Jon Jones was heavily favored to beat Hendo too?

People keep saying things like DC being HW champ at 5.11 makes him the GOAT but Dan is 5.11 and he finished the supposed best HW ever where's his respect?

People used to say Fedor wasn't in his prime too but Hendo was older and is retired while Fedor is still active all these years later.

This doesn't make sense!

Because math.
 
You're both FUCKED in the head. He WAS the GOAT. Fighters fade, like you're fucking minds...
 
Jones is the GOAT. He never lost. It’s not that hard to calculate
to those unbiased.
 
DC has a vastly better resume than Fedor and therefore is greater than Fedor.

The sport has passed by Fedor a long time ago.
 
Post prime loss

Didn't adapt, lost speed, relied on head hunting.

+ I know alot of Fedor fans will disagree with this, but if he moved to an elite camp like AKA or Jacksons in his late 20's he would have never went on that losing streak.

Just him sparring guys like Jones, DC, Cain, AA on a day to day basis would have made him that much better.

Which is why I posted never evolved, stuck with his old ways even while he was slowing down.
 
If you watch any sport, athletes usually decline after a decade of competition. Fedor was undefeated for a whole decade! That is why he is the GOAT.

Yes, Hendo was old too. It was two older past prime legends going at it. Somebody had to lose. No shame in losing to one of the greatest fighters ever. Fedor dropped Hendo and almost had him but Hendo executed a nice reversal and landed a hard punch and we all know Hendo hits like a truck!
 
Ain't no shame in losing to a MW when that MW is named Dan Henderson.
 
Dan Henderson is the same size as Fedor.

Hendo was considerably older. Fedor's also been fighting for a decade since and he's done pretty well. Hendo was a huge underdog to Jon Jones and got beat by DC.

People keep telling me HW's are the biggest KO threat though how come the greatest HW only gets finished by a MW then?
 
1. It was flukey. Fedor had Hendo hurt and got careless.

2. Fedor was past his prime. Perhaps not physically but no longer was he believing in a carefully crafted game plan and hard training but that everything would be 'god's will'.

Take away: Fedor is the fucking GOAT.

Hendo was on TRT, Fedor aged naturally. Hendo also got him from a weird scramble, and hit him with an uppercut from a weird position on a defenseless chin.

JJ is 31. At 31 Fedor was undefeated after 30 fights in mma, not including a couple 100 sambo fights. Not hard to calculate.

Not even close. Fedor has like 2x the amount of quality wins as DC.

DC has a great resume but it is nowhere even close to Fedor, Nog or Werdum. (Even if you throw in DC's LHW wins he still has far less ranked wins than those guys)

You can't count Sambo fights bro.

That would be like Brock counting his collegiate wrestling career.
 
Because he went undefeated for 10 years as a small HW in one of the strongest eras of the HW division.
