Why is fedor the goat?

[muaytao]

Im not trolling. I got into ufc when brock got in. So i didnt see prime fedor. But can someone explain to me? Long winning streak? Barao/jose had it too.

 

[BigGucciSosa]

he's not tho

 

[ConditFan]

He had more top ten and top five wins for one. He had a size disadvantage is a lot of fights second

 

[Beejay Pin]

Someone just read the "Is Jones the same aura as Fedor" thread.

 

[Towelie by TKO]

He was a well rounded fighter in the era where HW was nothing but one and two dimensional fighters. HW is now and has always been one of the weakest divisions in MMA, so a highly skilled and well-rounded fighter like Fedor was peerless for years.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

He's the Goat of the Pride era and ring format. Unbeaten streak and fighting bigger guys.

Lololol trolling harder than TS huh m8?


As far as your question goes TS:

He was the greatest HW during the best HW era in MMA history, also had the most dominant run during that very time.

 

[The guest]

I don't think he is the GOAT. But he is definitely in the debate with 2-3 other guys.

obvious reasons are obvious

Give it 6 more months and he won't be.

Jones just needs his belt back. After Rumble it'll be undeniable. He's also only 28; could lose a few and still have time to accomplish GOAT status.

 

[Magnum1978]

He's in and amongst them

GOAT of the Ring/full Pride rules (more dangerous)

GOAT of the cage can be GSP/Jones

They are practically different sports anyway, very different era to current era anyway, but he as 'above the curve' as much as anyone has ever been in MMA

You kinda have to have been immersed in the MMA scene at the time to truly appreciate his career.

If people don't think he's the GOAT, that's cool too, its just opinion anyway, nothing to get rustled about. Appreciate don't hate.

 

[Sherm]

Because it's human nature to overrate "the good ol' days".

 

[EINTKALILFG]

He's not. He's ducked useful competition for years and has continued to do so.

Realistically, this shouldn't even be posted in here since the guy avoids the UFC like he's got an allergic reaction to top competitors.

Big Nog was considered #1 p4p at one point and then Fedor beat him and then kept winning for a long time after so he had that title to a lot of people.

Do you even have to ask? Just get on youtube for a few.

pffft if Jones really wants to be the true GOAT he'd fight guys his size
