Bellator HW GOAT.
Because King Mo out-wrestled him, and said he's interested in the fight.
King Mo is ranked #11 in the world at HW (by Fight Matrix) Minakov is 15, and Kongo is #16.
It does surprise me that his name never gets brought up. I guess his reputation took a huge hit from that Mo loss.
Kongo has that style to pull of any upset. He is a big strong guy with very sharp striking. If only he can avoid gassing or getting taken down.
Almost ANY heavyweight has the styles and makings to pull off a huge upset or come back due to their sheer SIZE and POWER. Add that to the fact that for a HW Kongo's striking is decently crisp and can be on point accurate when he's feeling it and that's the LAST thing you want... A huge HW with huge power who also throw accuratley especially in VOLUME... and yes, if only he ACTUALLY could AVOID GASSING or not getting taken down... Unfortunantely it's Kongo so he CANNOT avoid gassing, EVER and his TDD damn well sucks....
I 100% agree with you on that, that whole situation was stupid.... that fight was an insult to our entertainment, and an insult to our intelligence.... As a Hardcore MMA fan I was ashamed that Fedor was even at the SAME EVENT as him, but also it was his opponent.... Straight slap to my face if I ever felt one.Crocop, Buentello, Barry, Mitrione, Jordan, and Volkov are all pretty solid victories. Never the cream of the crop but sure as shit tougher than Jaideep.
Kongo is probably the most boring fighter on the Bellator HW roster besides Johnson.
