Uhhh... Pride fanboys would be upset because Randleman's career is far more associated with his time there than it is in the UFC? He was absolutely awful in the UFC (belt or not hence the point of this thread) and no one gives a crap about any of his fights there except pointing out the ridiculous "losing from top position" fight against Bas.
Lmao. Your posting and general UFC insecurity makes responding a total waste of time, but for the last time I will indulge myself. Your posts are sub 80 level IQ.
1. I don't see any PRIDE fanboys crying about Randleman, instead you built up a strawman to cry about PRIDE and project your UFC inferiority complex. Support fighters, not orgs you dweeb. HW was better back then than ever since, and despite the fighters being split they all ended up fighting each other one way or another anyways.
2. Randleman was able to be the best in the UFC. Never was in PRIDE. That simple, no amount of crying that you do about it.
If Randleman was "awful in the UFC" I guess it says a lot about the level of competition there at the time.
no one gives a crap about any of his fights there except pointing out the ridiculous "losing from top position" fight against Bas.
Well he beat Bas (or should have) and Rizzo, both top HWs. That's BTW not far from how many "top wins" Bork has.
Also, the point is that Fedor fans love to rip on all of the UFC HWs as if they were never any good and yet his own credibility strongly depends on them being considered top guys. If Arlovski and Tim are considered "washed up" fighters because both fell off significantly right after he beat them, then Fedor went 5+ years without fighting a top contender? Unless you're seriously going to make an argument for Brett Rogers which would surely give everyone here some entertainment.
More strawman nonsense. Fedor fans are not morons like you, so they fully understand shitting on the guys Fedor beat is moronic. On the contrary, its always UFC dweebs like you trying to usually put those guys down....which is why your crying here makes no sense. You are (for once, rightfully) stating Tim and AA were good, top fighters (and they were) then proceed to cry about PRIDe guys who beat them. Turn your brain on.
Also, Fedor went 5+ years without fighting a top contender? LOL! When? You really going to bring up the end of Fedor's career? Bahahahahah. Retarded and zero relevance.
Tim and AA got washed up right before Fedor did (incidentally, after he destroyed them), when it became clear they were shadows of their former selves.
Brett KOed AA btw, which by your "logic" makes him a top guy. Which he was. That is how rankings go little one.
Fedor has some nice wins but he is more myth than substance as even in his prime, he was NEVER consistently facing top competition.
That's fucking retarded lmao. Fedor has more top wins than any contemporary HW, save maybe Nog who....well....he destroyed twice.
Fedor faced more top competition in his streak than ANY contemporary UFC HW. Or for that matter, any UFC HW since. Not in terms of relevant competiton.
Fighting cans makes no difference as long as you put the work in around them. Which Fedor did, and no amount of historical revisionism BS by you will change that.
he always had to fight in organizations with questionable drug testing/known corruption
LOLOL as opposed to the contermpory UFC? Are you daft? No need to answer, the answer to that question is already clear.
UFC drug testing when Fedor fought = utter joke. Might as well not exist.
and his performances fall off a cliff 90% of the time he fights in the US. Gee, I wonder why that is??
More made up drivel. Fedor came to the US at the end of his career, and still won for 4 years after his first US based fight.
WTF is your point, he eventually lost lol? Good one, so basically every single UFC contemporary of his, especially when they had a similar number of years/fights in the game.
Fedor was a better fighter than Tim... but he was nowhere near as good as the carefully crafted mystique leads people to believe.
Fedor's mystique is on him having the best (non cheating) streak in the sport, and beating, typically in dominantly fashion every single ranked fighter he was faced with for 10 years.
That, not whatever made up butthurt mirage you conjured up.
Randleman has never beat a wrestler before and never submitted anyone
But he did knock out CC, which is a better standup win than anything Brock has done.
He also stayed in the sport for longer than the 8 fights Brock did, in which he looked like shit in 50% of them.
Yeah, such skills, definitly not size and roids.
Also, the absolutely joke of you crying about shady orgs and defending Brock, who literally was able to fight given UFC/USADA corruption.
No need to reply, I don't give a fuck about further discussion with you.
