People need to realize that it was Cain's pace that beat Junior. Fedor doesn't do what Cain does so it would be a completely different fight.
Saying Fedor shouldn't have jumped into Werdum's guard is like saying Anderson shouldn't have tried to clown Weidman.
It's what they do.
prime fedor in the current ufc hw division would be awesome.
But would he pwn Cigano?
Watch his fight with Hunt. He practically got subbed by a kickboxer with 7 MMA fights.
Man, if the Hunt that fought then had the ground game of 2014 Hunt...the history of MMA would be different. Hunt would be GOAT. Too bad he seems to have only taken his ground game seriously these past couple of years.
Even with his ground game today he wouldn't be able to do shit to Fedor.

He practically subbed Fedor when he was green as fuck. ADCC Hunt fucks his shit up.
Mirko in his prime was the equivalent of JDS; both are fear strikers. If Prime fedor were to fight JDS, he would have use the same game plan he use against Mirko and that's pressing the action nonstop. And we have seen what happen when JDS is push up against the fence, gets taken down, etc (Cain beatdown 2 and 3)
Yup people some to forget that Fedor also fought with a broken toe and altered his stand up in that fight. Hunt was also a replacement because Barnett declined the fight with Fedor.
