Is it true DCs best opponents before Jones were past their prime?

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Bigfoot was in his prime.

Hard to say with Barnett, Mir and Big Country. Were they better fighters 5 years earlier? perhaps. But I dont think there was a clear visible decline with them.

 

[Feaser]

I think Champ Ngannou can spark him but thats about it

From that first Stipe fight, I don’t think Frank has any real chance against prime DC. He was like a fish out of water.

DC won the SF Grand Prix that many on the dog said had the best HWs at the time and the would wreck UFC.

 

[Ibm]

He took it to Jones and beat Stipe. he was defintely legit.

Past prime:
Barnett, Mir, Nelson, Stipe, Heendo, Anderson.
Prime:
Jones, Gus (?), Rumble, Bigfoot

Lol @ DC fighting relics. It’s Jones resume that’s stacked with big names well past their primes and washed legends that looks good on paper but the reality is they were all washed. Reyes beat the shit out of Jones and that was a blatant robbery Jones stole.

Everyone Jones fought was old and busted.
Everyone volk fought was old and busted or overrated.
Silva never fought anyone good and whenyhe did he got knocked out.
Gsp fought a bunch of guys that wouldn't be top ten in today's mma.
Mighty Mouse fought small people.
Khabin didn't defend his title enough times.
Usman only beat Jorge and Colby.


Nobody was ever good. Sherdog in a nutshell.

"Reyes might have narrowly squeaked out a razor thin decision" has become "beat the shit out of Jones"

Though Francis still has the most power in his hands probably ever

Are you speaking strictly MMA terms? As Anthony Joshua proved categorically that there are (and have been) plenty of boxers who are bigger punchers than Francis.

 

[BowserJr]

Cormier beats all of them

Nope

He didn't prove anything by landing first

Big foot was in his prime but he's not that great of a fighter
