Most talented Heavyweight fighter in the UFC ?

[FrancisBergoglio]

In terms of talent, not the best, who do you think is the most talented HW and why ?

 

[Davey Crockett]

Fedor

Oh UFC only, Cain then

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Probably Cain.

Dude was wingin' WHEEL kicks in his last fight.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Fedor

In before people start crying.

In terms of talent, not the best...Who do you think is the most talented HW and why ?

Overeem is an elite striker and grappler.
Chin & roid hold that guy back for a while.

Healthy Cain is scary.

 

[Goodfella86]

Probably Overeem.

 

[FrancisBergoglio]

Fedor

Edit : Currently and in this organization.

 

[djolegeorgee]

Inb4 Ngannou is mentioned.
I'd go with Reem, Stipe and Werdum.

 

[Final Say]

Miocic, Stipe

 

[King Kerns]

Overeem is the most talented he can do it all just always finds a way to fuck it up

 

[Ez Eric]

Of course Fedor all time.

But if we are talking current then probably Overeem. He has a great all around game. Striking, takedown defense, ground and pound, submissions... he can do it all.

Jim Ross voice - Cain! It's Cain!!

Seriously though, cain is a warrior. He is extremely well-rounded in terms of tecinque. Gifted cardio-wise. Still increasing his repertoire showing ability to learn this late in his career, which is a talent in itself.

I'd put the Reem as a close second for the sheer number of accolades he's won.

 

[Toco]

cain or reem

 

[robjenkins2]

Duffee. DC, Cain and Schaub have all said as much.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Stipe Miocic. he is faster and fitter than them all..

 

[Peteyandjia]

People are confusing talent with skill in this thread.

Talent is natural, skill is learned.

Fedor was never particularly talented, but he was highly skilled, with an iron will.

I would say Arlovski is one of if not the most naturally talented Heavyweights I have ever seen. The guy has the speed and agility of a Welterweight. Never quite put it all together, though he did become Champion, but wow, what an athlete.

 

[cumafish]

cain or reem

 

[Bartinho]

Werdum is the only HW talent with World Champion credentials in a sport outside MMA.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

DC

 

[funksoulbrother]

Werdum is the only HW talent with World Champion credentials in a sport outside MMA.

wasn't arlovski a world champ of sambo?
