[Natural Order]

Topuria #1…

 

[kkthx]

hilarious thread

 

[benebox]

Hate to say it but Dillashaw definitely is a top 5 for peak.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Best peak = Jon Jones
Best career = Jon Jones

Best there is
Best there was
Best there ever will be

 

[Gamer007]

Wow, Topuria #1 peak of all time


The guy who drops rounds consistently? He got out landed in 4 of the 5 rounds he fought against Max and Volk.

Beating Volk coming off a KO loss who everyone said shouldn't even be fighting so soon.

 

[Senbonzakura]

5 Careers:
GSP
Andy
Fedor
JJ
DJ

5 peaks:
JDS HW rise
Bones whole career
Saku (from UFC HW championship to Pride GP 2000 run)
Cro-Cop 2004 run
Fedor Pride Run

 

[BoomStronk]

I dunno why these couch warriors keep going with such nonsense.

Some of the best fighters in LHW history

And people will literally discredit them all just to shade Jones.

Just goes to show how powerful hate is

True Sherbro. I wish we could be mature enough to hate on Bones with all the venom that he deserves for being a shit head, while also acknowledging that he is incredibly good at fighting

 

[Bob Sagat]

peak anderson silva was the single most untouchable fighter of all time. biggest aura. whatever you want to call it.
if you don't agree you weren't watching mma

 

[BangBang]

I'm thinking peak Anderson!

The only time DC's ratios came into question were from urine tests when he was cutting weight, which the NSAC and PED expert Conte both stated were completely normal for a male in his late 30's cutting weight.



So Jones was clean a few months before USADA came to the UFC then immediately started to juice as soon as they arrived.

Most likely explanation:

Most likely explanation ? No, we do not know

There were three tests done during each of the random tests: urine, blood testing for human growth hormone and a blood passport test. The only negative was testing positive for cocaine metabolites," which gave those anomalies. The samples were from the December 4 and December 18, and he was tested randomly during/before and after the fight as well.

That CIR testing would have revealed if Jones were taking exogenous (synthetic) testosterone. The test itself is unassailable, you cannot beat it. It would let them know definitively whether Jones was given testosterone in that time immediately preceding his fight as well as a post fight test that he also took. Balco's Conte is a quack and like many have said, 7000/ng/dl for a weight cutting athlete is not normal, it is an anomaly. That's as high as Ronnie Coleman's.

A good number of experts talked about Daniel Cormier's Testosterone Level of 7000 ng/dL before fighting Jon Jones and talked about whether DC was Doping?

The average male’s testosterone is an average of anywhere from 300-1000 ng/dl. Which is a bigger indication of cheating than any of Jon Jones’ “picograms”

• Normal range: A normal testosterone level for men is generally between 300 and 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL)
• High range: A testosterone level above 1,000 ng/dL is considered high

A study found that for every 1 kg of weight lost, total testosterone increased by 0.6% in men. How did his numbers get too 7000 ng/dl. As you get older your testosterone lvls decrease. It is also funny how you believe NSAC on cormiers test but not NSAC on jones tests. If NSAC said cormier was clean, okay, as they said about jones, who they said was clean.

Is there a difference, in your estimation, of the fighters who had the best careers vs fighters who had the best peaks?

Best peaks
1. Ilia Topuria
2. Fedor Emelianenko
3. Georges St-Pierre
4. Cain Velasquez
5. Khabib Nurmagomedov

Beat careers
1. Georges St-Pierre
2. Jon Jones
3. Demetrious Johnson
4. Fedor Emelianenko
5. Anderson Silva

As you can see, my peaks list is very different from my careers list.

I like this concept!

But I would absolutely put Khabib on the best careers list and not just because I'm his #1 fan.

I know he only had 12 fights in the UFC, but, he retired as an undefeated champion, took ZERO damage (which sets him apart from every other fighter on this list), and he made a ton of money.
I've said it before, almost every fighter EVER would wish to have Khabib's career.
Highest money-earned-to-damage-taken ratio in MMA history.

 

[bambammccoy]

Cody G needs to be in best peak. Alot of mma fans were convinced they had just witnessed the greatest single performance in mma history.

It is also funny how you believe NSAC on cormiers test but not NSAC on jones tests. If NSAC said cormier was clean, okay, as they said about jones, who they said was clean.

Holy shit i had no idea DC came back at 7000ng/dL that spike and then dip sounds like a water based test base as opposed to the traditional test injections suspended in oil.

But CIR is definitely beatable and not expensive to do so at all when determining if the askew T/E ratios are from exogenous test shots or not.

According to the experts and NSAC

Given the proper isotopic signatures, the test can very accurately detect the presence of a certain substance. In this case, that substance would be exogenous (non-natural) testosterone. Given proper testing protocols, they state that the test itself is unassailable.

Matt Serra and his peak were both incredibly short, but he destroyed prime GSP in less than 4 minutes and took his belt.

What made it even more impressive is Serra is really only 5'2". People talk about GSP as a GOAT but he lost in his prime to an aging journeyman that was 9 inches shorter than himself.

 

[Subline]

WEC Jose Aldo | 8-0 --> 88% finish rate, destroyed Faber + Brown + Swanson (all within the span of just over 2 years)

 

[VinceArch]

Topuria is fighting much better fighters.

Topuria has Holloway and Volk which are excellent wins but Shogun has Rampage, Lil Nog, Overeem, Arona, Lyoto, Forrest, Chuck, Randleman and Coleman. It's no comparison.

Interesting thread title. But then I see Topuria nr1. Please. I dont know if you are new watching MMA since you added Fedor in there, but prime Silva, prime Jones, prime shogun, just to name a few, did a hell of a lot more than winning 2 big fights.

and Im out.

Everyone failed to notice Ilia Topuria and just rambled on!
Great thread! If they had noticed it, it would have been a troll thread!
Now it is just another great Sherdog thread!
