If Stipe beats Ngannou, he is unequivocally the HW GOAT!

[rd1992]

I don't see how people can deny this if Stipe gets past Ngannou. Not only will Stipe be breaking the UFC HW title defence record, but the people he would have beaten to do so is far more impressive than any other HW resume.

I expect a lot of Pride fanboys to launch an attack using the Fedor argument, but objectively speaking Fedor's comp was no where near as good as the guys Stipe has been putting away in his last few fights.

Stipe would crush, and I mean CRUSH any version of Fedor.

Not with that upright stance. Fedor KO.

 

[Repsac]

Stipe, IN HIS PRIME, lost to Struve. STRUVE!

Let that sink in.

It's the equivalent of Fedor losing to Goodridge.

 

[Sonny Qc]

No Ts, just No

You can't have the word "unequivocally" next to a subjective and fictional ranking category of the "greatest of all time", it just doesn't work. He can be your GOAT, that's fine, but he doesn't have to be our GOAT.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I do not care about your opinion.

 

[Falsedawn]

In Brasil, you pay hespect. You no pay hespect, you get hit in the mouth.

You OP, you pay hespect to the GOAT.

Are you really going to use Brett Rogers as the foundation for your argument lol? I think I've seen it all now.

 

[Oj21]

Nah he's close but I still think it's werdum. Wins over fedor Cain nog overeem hunt etc

How was that Stipe in his prime????? And if you want something to sink in, how about Fedor getting knocked out by a middleweight, regardless of whether he was in his prime or not lol?

Are you an idiot? Im not saying Brett Rodgers is Stipe, Im saying Stipe has defensive holes and through these gifs, you can see how Fedor would take advantage of it. Its near identical stance, Stipe would get KTFO'd if he did that against Fedor.

When it comes to resume, objectively speaking Stipe's achievements will have been more impressive than Fedor's. Fedor fought a lot of cans in Pride for the most part.

Stipe's achievements will have been more impressive than Fedor's.

Again, subjective, not objective. Comparing Stipe's opponents to Fedor's is wholly subjective, unless they faced exactly the same fighters at the exact same time. They don't have many mutual opponents, so that comparison is out as well.

Fedor recklessly threw punches and overhands. Stipe is not only faster but has much better boxing technique. He'd be the one countering Fedor not the other way round.

Hendo hits harder than most HWs you buffoon. Maybe the P4P hardest hitter in MMA of all time.

Bullshit, you are just being petty now. You can easily compare the level of fighters both faced. You really going to say that one cannot objectively say someone like JDS is leagues above Choi Hong-Man?

You idiot, Hendo hits hard but that is a ludicrous statement. You definitely failed Physics at school.

 

[Huligani]

UFC HW GOAT yeah. One of the greatest heavyweights of the night, yes.

You don't see how people can deny it? You really haven't been on Sherdog long, have you.
