Who was better, Khabib/Wrestling/Cage or Fedor/Judo/Ring?

So no response?

Dude-- everyone knows this already. Where have you been?

PRIDE Fighting Championship did not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) or drugs of abuse; however, it was willing to make an exception for any substance derived from steroids, according to longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Enson Inoue. "Yamato Damashi" has been posting pics of his old PRIDE contracts, with specific language creating a steroid loophole, along with a series of videos at his Facebook page right here. An interesting look at how things operated in Japan, especially as some of its former stars continue to run afoul of stateside athletic commissions. Click here for a larger version of this pic.

Let’s chill on the Khabib goat talk. He may very well get there (he’s already the lightweight goat probably) but you can’t compare him to fedor just yet.

Bullshit speculation but even granting you that (I don't) Pride was a level playing field as the athletes were encouraged to roid so your bullshit point also has the feature of being irrelevant.

Well state sponsored fighters like fedor had access to the premium stuff while rest of guys were hobos who couldn’t afford shit. Not really even playing field.

I'm not sure where you got confused. That's the exact opposite of what that other poster said.

Nobody has ever been better than fedor in his prime. Maybe gsp, but that's it.

Lol. Anything to get a Fedor thread going eh? He got exposed and fought in the shittiest division when other guys were just learning to be more than one dimensional. Khabib is fighting top talent. Any top 10 LW is 10 times better than any top HW.

Don't go full retard. You almost close.

Khabib has been much more dominant with his grappling that Fedor was. There were many fights were Fedor was controlled by his opponent...even Hunt was able to find great success with just raw size and strength. Fedor was able to adjust to vulnerable situations, Khabib has never been in that position to begin with. Tibau came close but he never really put Khabib in a defensive position.

I am confused as to.what you mean but am sure I meant to.post what I did to.the other guy.

What about Conor's Striking vs Khabib's wrestling ? Much more interesting comparison because both are somewhat one dimensional but some of the best at their one dimension. Fedor was a completely different kind of fighter.

Hunto got those dominant positions against Fedor for very good reasons...

Meanwhile, Magomedov did put Khabib in defensive positions.

Fedor fought all time greats.

Kabob is too early in his career. His resume is filled with unknowns and a few fights where the fighters are somewhere between okay and good.

There's a ton of top flight competition he needs to face before he gets lumped besides Frodo.

Definitely interested to see how it pans out.

How many atg did fedor fight and is rda and conor an atg? How do barboaza, al, dustin rank?

After tony could get a lot closer.

Fedor never really shot for takedowns. Rarely. I think at hw he found them risky. Fedor usually found success by beating his way in,getting underhooks and flinging to you to the floor with his explosive power. He would be able to do that to guys 80 lbs heavier.

That’s because he used his wide midsection so well.
Having a gut and a fat ass is very effective for judo and sambo.

What good reasons ? I recall Hunt getting those positions from reversals alone. And you're talking about Khabibs second fight ? Really grasping at straws there...

Graspin´at what exactly, my good friend? Ya´re the one who said "never", not Gono.
And what about his...16th fight?... How did he avoid a [precarious] defensive position against BJJ BB Santos?

Meanwhile, against Hunto, Hunto got 2 full mounts exactly. How did he get the 1st one? And if ya can recall how, ya´ll understand why he got the 2nd.
