Mirko was never the best

[ThunderL1ps]

Cormier was too stumpy and Filipovic would have stuffed his take-downs like how he stopped Mark Coleman's.

Cro Cop would have kicked DC's head off in the end.

Why do you hate DC so much?
Also the "discussion" is very much in regards to their careers, not how nice they are.

Well im gonna jump in, I see DC as bit smarter Jon Jones... still a cheat...screw peds but that towel at weigh ins, fingers in eyes... I like Cormier, but to campare him to CC hell no... not to mention, CC introduced to me world of martial arts in mid 90s...

Cro Cop would have kicked DC's head off.

In a ring perhaps. In a cage? Hardly.

Give it a couple of years and you'll likely only hear good things about DC. Current top fighters are always a little controversial.

Guys are really missin the point here lol

He didn’t but CC never won any title either. The GP didn’t have Fedor in it so it’s just like DCs LHW title. DC actually was HW champ

I give DC credit for his LHW titles, because Jon was inactive due to suspensions. DC was undisputedly the best active LHW when he won the titles. And let’s not forget what Jon was suspended for and why their 3rd fight was a no contest.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Never the best but one of the best and always felt like #2 or #3 in the division. He reminds me a lot of Cormier in that aspect actually.

Sometimes it's not only about titles, he was a beast in prime and would brutalize DC in half... he was probably the scariest fighter in MMA... yes more than Ngannou.

 

[ijngf]

Good comparisons

As a HW fighter, losing to Henderson is a shame.

 

[Bastet]

2016 Mirko was a beast.

Nog lost to him in RINGS,there was no shame in it then either

 

[Dbreiden83080]

I respect his career... But he is NOT the 2nd best HW of all time..

You try telling people in here its not about titles,lol

I didnt say he was.

 

[Shaddows]

He never won the title,he never won the k-1

He lost to Fedor and Nog.

However his career is one that should be greatly respected. And the same goes for DC.

Agreed.
Anyone who disrespect Cro-Cop simply did not follow his career to understand.

And DC has a respectful career as well. A pity he started so late in life... who knows how it would be if he joined sooner?

But same as Cro Cop, the fact it was a great career does not mean they need to be considered GOAT or we don't respect them. It's not all or nothing.

I know but as you know a lot of people do say that..

He is not even top 5 IMO..

Does he make your top 5?

I'm gonna pick DC cos he farts more often during a 24 hour period. No ones saying you can't have a subjective preference.

This thread has gone over so many peoples heads it's mad.
