Jiri would embarass Prime AS and Prime Jones

[NoSmilez]

Is TS polish?

 

[bobgeese]

Embarrass himself maybe,,.

Uh, no he wasn't. It was a back and forth affair.

Then you realize that all 3 judges gave Volkan the first round. The KO came quick the in the 2nd so yes you can say Volkan was winning, or doing well, until the KO sequence.

Silva was long past his prime at that point, and Cormier would still only take that fight if his title was NOT on the line for it. Prime Anderson would have most likely beaten almost all of the top 10 LHW's at that time.

"Prime" Anderson scraped by Chael Sonnen, and he would have beaten all the top 10 LHWs?

Lmao, right. Must be why he only moved up vs carefully picked opponents.
The rest is speculation.

Did I say he would beat all of the top 10 LHW's?

You argued he would beat almost all of them. Yeah right.

Jiri would beat the shit out of the LHWs Anderson faced.

There is zero basis for assuming any Anderson smokes Jiri.
Jiri could probably outgrapple Anderson without much difficulty as well.

Almost isn't all, but a good part of them.

And your last comment goes both ways.... there is zero basis for assuming any Jiri smokes a prime Anderson.

Look at the UFC's LHW division circa 2009/210. A lot of those fighters were shopworn from fighting overseas. And yes, I would hands-down have favoured Silva over the likes Thiago Silva, Jardine, Evans, Wanderlei, L'il Nog, Ortiz... Rampage had slowed down considerably. Bader was on the cusp.

Shogun and Machida would have been tougher fights, but I still think Silva had it in him to beat those guys too.

To each his own though.
