is there a better .500 fighter than mark Hunt?

Not sure if serious, but Sapp is up there for biggest wasted potential in the history of MMA.

Yes, he's been a jobber for the last 10 years, but he's probably the biggest freak outlier to the law of diminishing returns with weight above mid-200 lbs ever. 350 lbs jacked, fast and with good cardio. Owned and MANHANDLED Big Nog for 10 minutes including a Zangief piledriver.

If this guy had actually taken time to learn proper technique early in his career, he would have been unstoppable and probably would have single-handedly justified a UFC SHW division.

I'm not - and in all fairness, he was probably jacked on more steroids than any other fighter there. But yeah, still a genetic freak and could've been a monster with a better.. mental game..

No doubt - he probably caused several rare horse species to go extinct. But was amazing how he actually carried the weight well and didn't blow his wad in 5 minutes like early career Vitor and other wild horse big game hunters.

People talk about immediately post-WWE brock being a freak athlete for his size... holy shit, Sapp was like Brock + 50 lbs of muscle with actual cardio.

Did you see Sapp vs. Big Nog? He's active, in control and slinging haymakers/muscling Nog around for all 10 min of first round, plus most of 2nd round until he gets subbed. Until 13 minutes into the fight, literally looked like Hong Man Choi vs. Jose Canseco, except it was Big Nog he was doing it to.

How many other horsemeat connoisseurs can do that?

His record could've been much better if he didn't start out by facing Barnett and Fedor in his 6th and 7th fights. Talk about bringing up an up and comer the wrong way. Sad thing is he's reaching the potential of his 41 year old self--imagine if he had reached his potential as a 31 year old. I always thought he was/is extremely gifted, even in his round frame.

Well...pretty much all the "Pride Legends" records were .500 or worse in the UFC, so yea

Big Nog - 5-6
Cro Cop 4-6
Wand 4-5
Overeem 4-3
Lil Nog 4-4
Henderson 5-8
Shogun 7-8
Rampage 7-5

According to Chael, Fedor's a .500 fighter because he's 3-3 in sanctioned fights. It's a fact that Chael's right about everything, and Fedor is pretty good. So Fedor.
