You're right, we have gone over this. And again it goes the other way in favor for Stipe as well.
In fact there are more instances of it favoring Stipe than it does everyone else.
- When Stipe beat Hunt it was a top 5 win for him. When Fedor beat Hunt he was only top 10.
- When Stipe beat Werdum he was a #1 win. When Nogueira beat Werdum he was only top 10.
- When Stipe beat Overeem it was top 5 win for him. When Werdum beat Overeem he was only top 10.
I can keep going.
When you beat a guy matters. That's just logical. Hell you're always telling people that PRIDE Werdum was shit and the Werdum Stipe beat was the best he ever was.
Well guess what, that's reflected in those rankings. Because if you start denouncing when you beat a guy matters, and where they're ranked at the time matters, I get to say Nogueira's win over Werdum is just as good as Stipe's win over Werdum. And that's the best win on Stipe's resume.
Your issue is you want your cake and to eat it to.
And did you seriously just shit on Nog's win over Sylvia when Sylvia was the UFC HW champion? And you believe a victory over non champions is better than that?
Fuck me.
