UFC will probably never have a Heavyweight fighter as good as Fedor

Love cain and remember during his reign everyone thought he’d mince fedor but I could see fedor mincing cain on the ground and having his way with him.

Another one will come along but it could be another generation.

Just wanna make sure I read that right...you could see Fedor mincing Cain on the ground???


He was sidemounted twice by Mark Hunt in his absolute prime.

Cain GnP'd Brock

Holy shit

Prime Fedor vs Jones would be a competitive fight, I'm not saying Fedor wins 10/10 but it'd be absurd to not think Fedor could win 2/10-5/10 of those fights, and i think the armbar could definitely be a possibility in 1 or 2 of those scenarios

Would look like Jones-Vera
 
the difference between fedor any almost every other HW alive is that Fedor has a crazy killer instinct.... he demonstrated his place in the GOAT status through affliction beating arlovski and sylvia, this was topped off by an unprecedented run against the who's who of MMA. I don't think there is a fighter alive today that could have beaten fedor back then - regardless of this so-called "evolution" that people keep talking about. Fedor's decline was largely attributed to his shift in pursuing the KO - apart from age of course.

Fedor doesn't get enough credit from hardcore UFC fans, but the guy was special during his era. He had all the tools you'd expect in a middleweight, as a heavyweight and was fighting much larger men 90% of the time he was the ring/cage.

That said, I think the UFC has had quite a few guys that could arguably be considered on Fedor's level skill wise comparatively; Stipe, Werdum, Cain, Later Ngannou, etc.

But will another heavyweight capture the magic of going 10 years unbeaten in arguably the most dangerous (because of how quick a fight can end) division in the UFC like Fedor did in his prime? Unlikely. The sport has evolved passed these possibilities imo. Jones beat Gane and he did so by doing the opposite of what he normally went for at LHW, at LHW he was pretty well known for beating guys at their own game but he had no interest in striking with Gane, and it was apparent. Which I'm not knocking him for, that's the smartest thing he could've done. I think it shows that he knows HW is a different game, it only takes one in most fights but at HW it's just a higher chance possibility of getting that ONE shot that ends a fight.

Our only hope of a truly dominant HW champion was Francis imo and now he's gone on to better things.

Dont think Francis was ever going to be close to accomplishing what Fedor did.
 
like the fanboys need more encouragement.
 
We seem a long way from Fedor with the HW division right now, but one day someone will come along if the sport lasts long enough.

I mean gsp got destroyed by a natural lightweight and people call him goat
 
Gun your head, your family's lives on the line.....who you taking as your sole fighter? Any fighter, in their prime, any era. He wins, you and your family walk away. He loses, you all die.

Imagine not picking Fedor.

I think he had the skill set too. His striking was insane, his power was LITERALLY (statistically proven) to be unmatched in the UFC, and his wrestling improved leaps and bounds. He was able to outwrestle and overpower Ciryl Gane with a full knee injury (guess we shouldn't be surprised how easily Jones did it in retrospect). Francis was on his way to becoming the greatest HW of all time, imho, but just like Fedor his momentum was stopped short when he stood up to Dana White lol something else they have in common I guess.

Any fighter any era, all he has to do is win the fight and we're all saved?

Ngannou pre-knee injury. The Ngannou that dismantled Stipe Miocic. That one. Cleans house no matter who the opponent is.

Good thing that we finally get to debate how Fedor would have done in the UFC and if he was overrated or underrated or maybe out of prime when he lost and all that stuff which has never been debated before.

I love how you complain about almost every thread, yet you add nothing to it.
Nor do I see you making "better threads" because you're so smart sir.

Don't you get bored being sourpuss all the damn time? Ffs man get a grip.
