Top 5 peaks vs top 5 careers

[Marko Atanasovik]

Topuria is still not in his prime...

 

[SportsGuyCorey]

I have to put Ronda on Top 5 Peak. She was invincible until she fought Holly and that head kick changed everything.

From 2011 - 2015 she was 12-0 with less than 16 minutes of cage time. 8 Fights finished in less than a minute.

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.

Johny Hendricks had a good peak. He beat GSP,, Condit, Lawler, Fitch. Nice KO's of Fitch and Kampmann among others.

Not a bad take.

Call me crazy but I think Peak Cain beats Fedor.... Frankly I think Peak JDS beats Fedor too.

No shade on the Last Emperor.... They are all time greats.

Conor should be on the Top 5 peaks list

His peak was like two fights. Never even defended. Granted. they were huge wins. But still.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

One of my favorite peaks was JDS on his UFC debut and quest to beat Cain for the title. He went on a 9 fight streak that included Werdum, Cro Cop, Carwin, Cain, and Mir spread throughout.

Just a marvelous run for the revered heavy hitter at HW.

Prime JDS was a bad man. Till Cain killed him in a revenge murder.

 

[Number 8]

Topuria, haha. This is a troll thread, nice try.

Strange having Jones and Anderson on the best careers, but not peaks

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.

The experts in what? Administering the test?

There are experts in beating these tests, maybe quote them.

 

[RockyLockridge]

considering context makes Ilia's win worse since volk got ko'd 3.5 months prior so that makes no sense.
And using UFC sig strike stats to say who won a fight is funny, go rewatch that fight and you'll see Islam landing cleaner shots and getting bigger reactions, he was kneeving volk in the chin and hitting him with left hands that were snapping his head back. Round 1 volk had more significant strikes than Islam, does that mean he won? No because he got dropped to a knee in that same round and wobbled

holy cope

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

holy cope

cope is saying volk won the first Islam fight or that Ilia fought the best version of volk, I think Ilia beats volk regardless but volk fighting 3.5 months after a KO didn't help his chances

 

[Dogpound2020]

Anderson highest peak and Jones for the career.

 

[orca]

At his peak Jones should be number one. In 2011-2013 he beat Bader, Shogun, Rampage, Machida, Rashad, Vitor, Sonnen, and Gus.

literaly the LHW division is the best division back then
its the king division most stacked division the hardest division

WW and MW was inferior

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

BJ Penn had one of the highest peaks

 

[deanambrose]

...And how do you know that this is Illia's peak?

 

[Gregoire1]

Jones peak is unmatched 2011-2015

 

[JPOMMA]

I don’t understand how this Ilia guy gets put into these lists with champions who dominated for years and are Mount Rushmore level.

Just being honest, I feel like he and a few other new fighters have social media teams posting here.

Granted, I’ve only seen his Max fight (who looked like death during the weight cut and is getting old) and a couple of highlights. He’s been champ two minutes.

If he really has the accomplishments to be on the level of the others, please post GIFs of his best moments so that I can be enlightened

 

[NationWideNinja]

Cejudo had a great streak of Mighty Mouse, TJ, Moraes, Cruz. He def belongs up there.

Conor belongs on the streak list.
