I would never argue that Franklin was on Nog's level. Extv is one of those types who mischaracterize and distort what people are actually saying to try and paint them in a certain light.
LOL @ Franklin = Nog
CC was never dominant
bigfoot, hendo, and werdum are better competition than nog & cc? and 10 years of fighting didn't make him decline? so 2004 fedor is just as good as 2010 fedor?
prime fedor beats anyone, tbh.
Werdum definitely has better standup these days than Nog has ever had.
So Prime Fedor had better BJJ defense in 2004 and would not have gotten outclassed by Werdum in a minute? That's just silly.
He did have better sub defense in '04 though. He was far less reckless

It looked that way because he had never fought a guy like Werdum. All fighters look good until they fight a better fighter (in this case here, fight a better BJJ guy)
Well, he didn't slide on his face in 04 because he was busy with tomato soup cans.
And steroids,fixed fights, and other drugs they didn't test for in gay pride Japan edition.

Saying Prime Fedor beats JDS like it's a fact is just as silly. It's impossible to know.
