Every single one of these guys is above fedor. UFC Gold just simply means more than Pride FC freak show
Jon Jones
Anderson Silva
GSP
Demetrious Johnson
Khabib Nurmagomedov
Daniel Cormier
Jose Aldo
Islam Makhachev
Ilia Topuria
Alexander Volkanovski
Max Holloway
Dan Henderson
Henry Cejudo
After this it would probably go something like
Alex Pereira
Fedor
Kamaru Usman
Israel Adesanya
BJ Penn
Dominick Cruz
Young man let’s remind ourselves about what happened when the best of the UFC at the time fought someone who wasn’t even the best in Pride when they fought!
AI is getting to look really good now damn
Ilia over Fedor is perhaps the wildest take I’ve seen on the OG. And we have people who think the earth is flat.
Legit LOLed when I read this post!
You and I rarely agree on things, but I LOVE that you put Mighty Mouse in there
Fedor in his prime got taken down and nearly submitted by Mark Hunt
He’s always forgotten for some reason but he’s one of the goats no doubt
2 division UFC champion with KO’s over Volk, Holloway, and Oliveria. That trumps Fedor’s entire career. That’s probably the best 3 fight win streak in mma history honestly
That’s what made Fedor so fucking exciting. He got nearly KO’d by Fujita, neck almost broken by Randleman on the slam, Cro Cop was inches away from landing his left high kick, Arlovski had Fedor backed up on the ropes etc
You are a funny guy my man!
Lmao 9 straight years of fighting at HW as a MW and going undefeated
Exactly it was his longevity as an undersized heavyweight as well as his winning streak which makes him such a legend.
32 fights in 9 years essentially undefeated apart from the Doctor’s stoppage against Kohsaka.
Ilia only has 17 fights in 8 years it’s a joke how little modern UFC fighters actually fight and UFC fans are always too quick to call a current champion the best ever lol.
Coleman/Randleman win is better than Volk
Cro Cop win is better than Holloway
Nog win is better than Oliveria
Lol perfectly said. You can end the thread with this post
Every single word you just spoke is factually wrong lol. Volk is better than both Coleman and randleman. Holloway is better than cro cop. Oliveria is better than big Nog was
Cool. But ilia Topuria is actually undefeated and a 2 division champ. Fedor lost a bunch of fights at the end. Plus Ilia’s resume is simply better already
No one can deny this
Ilia has only had 17 fights though?
Let’s see his record after 47 fights like Fedor and then we will compare!
You young people today suffer far too much from recency bias and don’t take longevity into account.
