MMA is crazy. Guys go up and down in weight and either get better or worse. MMA math is real... No explination... If that makes sense... Shogun destroyed Reem in Pride. If they fought today, Reem would kill Shogun. Fedor lost to Hendo, which was insane. Rumble moved up two weight classes and is now a destroyer. Conor tried to go up two weight classes and paid the price. MMA is so unpredictable. It really shows you that size and weight cuts have so much to do with fighting. Also styles of course. What are some other good examples?

LOL at MMA math is real...

Yeah so
Rousey > Tate
Holm > Rousey
Tate > Holm
 
Reem went on a horsemeat binge after his 2nd loss to Shogun.

Overeem just finally got off that diet ...so to be honest, I don't think he would destroy Shogun if the two were to fight again today.

a lot of guys who would have gotten smashed by Rua would smash him now. Too any fights too young I am guessing is the main cause.
 
So sick of people saying Conor went up 2 weight classes. They know what they're doing but they just wanna make it sound more dramatic
 
Time, injuries, PEDs, and different divisions. One can easily argue shogun has had the better mma career, pride gp and ufc champion. Both are more impressive feats than strikeforce HW champ and dream hw champ. Shogun also has a better win on his resume than overeem. Machida looked invincible until the first shogun fight.
 
I would say big nog beating werdum in pride and then losing to werdum years later. Werdum would destroy nog 10/10 now
