Sherdog is extra awful tonight.

[Area809]

Forrest at least proved he was tue best in his division for a time, even if that time was very short lived and he fell apart afterwards.

DC's LHW title wins aren't real title wins. He was never the best. I get that it isnt his fault Jones cant get his personal life together and of course he is going to take the belt they offered him...but he was never the best.

He then beat Stipe, tried his best to get an easy win in Brock to retire on, and lost to Stipe twice. Going 1-2 against Stipe isn't terrible by any means and having a win over him is impressive, but again, he lost the rivalry. He was #2 to Stipe.

He was never the best guy in any division and history will show that.

The best LHW ever not only cannot get his personal life together, he also struggles getting his professional life together. Let’s not forget the fight that was canceled due to a failed test and the other fight that was a NC due to another failed test. We can call Jon the best because he beat DC, but not without major controversy. While Jon was out due to suspension, DC was the best active LHW in the world.

Forrest had 0 title defenses. So Forrest proved he was the best for a short period of time but DC couldn’t be considered the best for a short period of time after beating Stipe the first time they fought?

DC wasn’t just trying to get an easy win against Brock. He was trying to get a money fight. No different than Usman or Woodly challenging Conor as champions.

Just seems like the bar is set higher for DC than anyone else and the rules for him are different. Kinda like DC pokes Stipe “oh DC is a dirty fighter. Stipe pokes DC “yeah but Stipe didn’t do it on purpose”. Not saying you said that, but just pointing out what I see in general—DC is held to a different standard for some reason.

I'm nto hating on O'Malley. But he dies his hair the color of his opponent and talked of him as if he were simply a stepping stone. He lost because of a kick and does not have an horrific injury. He had a dead leg.

He was never the best guy in any division and history will show that.

DC became the HW Champion by KOing Stipe. At that time he was undefeated at HW. But he was never the best??? OK.



DC was also clearly winning the majority of the 2nd fight as well... But for some reason chose not to listen to his coaches.

Sherdog’s UFC forum is trash 90% of the time.

 

[JustforBROCK]

Pretty much the reason why fighters don't come here anymore.

LOL you think that's the reason fighters dont come here??

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Just have fun with it. Its amazing to see how riled up some get on here lol

It gets interesting after a big event or news story but other than that it’s usually ok I reckon

If you have to end your post with a big fucking excuse you probably should just shut the fuck up.

 

[wearetheromans]

TS has like 40 likes for his posts and there's 4 pages of attention seeking little nerds disagreeing.

He's 100% right, this place is a mess.

 

[kenetics]

Shitting on DC after a legendary career. Yeah he lost so he was a can all along but being glad that he got poked in the eye? Yikes. Something about poetic justice, lmao. In a fucking fist fight.
Shitting on Sugar after a horrific injury. Dude was crying out in pain and was carried out but lol, he totally sucks and is a wuss for not continuing.
Saw a few Stipe bitching too. Something about current Fedor knocking him out.
I hate you guys.

I argued that a prime fedor ko/tko both those guys by how slow they both looked. I stand by my statement.

 

[Robocok]

I respect DC but he had that poke coming. Get what you give.

Reem was the heavyweight champ in Strikeforce, and Cormier never fought him.

He won the tournament, a great accomplishment. What he didnt do is prive he was the best HW in Strikeforce, let alone the best HW in the world.

He lost twice to the guy he beat once, came up short in a series where they fought three times back to back. History will show that he is not as good as Stipe, just as it will show he was not as good as Jones.

Forrest beat two different guys ranked #1 back to back. Shogun, and then Rampage. He also didnt lose to Rampage immediately twice afterward.

I'm sorry but yes wanting Brock is more than ten times worse than wanting Conor. Conor is still a great fighter with wins over active contenders across multiple weight classes. Brock won a single fight in like ten years by LnPing Hunt that was then overturned. It would be like Khabib calling out Jens Pulver.

It’d be like Khabib calling out Jens Pulver, if Jens Pulver was some type of money fight. If Brock Lesnar were to announce that he’d come out of retirement today, every single UFC heavyweight would line up for the money grab. But if someone hates DC just cause, they’d make the argument that he just wanted an easy victory and totally ignore the financial benefit that comes with fighting Brock.

You might be part of a very small group that would say Forrest had a better career than DC. I’d say even Forrest would disagree with you. Forrest never even sniffed title contention after losing. Everyone knows he fought a compromised Shogun, and that their second fight was more indicative of how the first fight should’ve gone if Shogun had been healthy. That said, Shogun wasn’t number 1 and was not a champion in 2007. Rampage was a very good victory at the time, albeit over an underachieving champion with little fight IQ in my opinion.

 

[SakurabasEar]

I don't really understand the hate behind DC, he's far from perfect but he's a solid person and an all time great fighter.

Great fighter, but ive always seen him as two faced. Even during his strikeforce days

 

[thelittleman]

Reem was the heavyweight champ in Strikeforce, and Cormier never fought him.

Overeem didn’t fight the best fighters in the SF HW division, until his very last fight in SF, when he fought Werdum.









Bigfoot fought Werdum, AA, Fedor, DC, Cain, an undefeated Travis Browne, Overeem, and then Cain again(for the UFC HW Championship). When DC came to the UFC, he decided to move down to LHW, because he wouldn’t fight his friend and training partner(who was also the UFC HW Champion).



At that very same time, Overeem fought
Tony Sylvester, James Thompson, Fujita, Brett Rogers, Todd Duffee, Werdum, Brock, and Bigfoot.

When Overeem came to the UFC, he beat Brock in devastating fashion, but then he lost 3 out of his next 4 fights.

But you think that DC wasn’t the best, because he didn’t fight Overeem???
