Late 2000’s Fedor wasn’t prime. Early to mid 2000’s Fedor smashes everyone on earth.

Yup

I wish we would have seen prime Fedor in UFC. Cormier is right about past prime Fedor. He would have some wins and a few loses.

Who would he have lost to, Silvia and Arlovski?

You can just tell that it eats Cormier up that he is neither LHW or HW GOAT. He got his ass whooped by Jones and came up short against Miocic… so because he cannot make an argument for being GOAT, he just cuts down others.

So who is best HW in the late 2000s? Your buddy Cain? Perhaps Brock? Carwin? Because aside from those guys possibly beating Fedor the rest of the roster was not going to touch him.

fair play to J some Burgers, this is quality material.

I disagree with DC very strongly and urge the reader to note that DC’s legacy is based on him being at least as good, but hopefully better than, all of those guys he has listed. he can’t allow Fedor into that discussion or people might start asking if Prime Fedor could have also made 205.

that is one conversation DC would not hope to encourage. because he knows Prime Fedor found a way every time - and would have bent Prime DC’s arm at a brutal angle, whatever weight they fought at. also had the potential to be double champ before DC

He also said Mackenzie Dern was one of the greatest submission artists in UFC history. The company dick is deep in him.

It’s true. People talk about Fedor’s record, but look at all of his opponents. Don’t get me wrong, Fedor is one of the best ever for sure, but not the GOAT. For the time and for where he fought, he was the best.

Gass out Carwin?

He did fight the best. Pride’s HW division was much better than the UFC’s. Sure he also fought cans, but that was the way Pride made these guys active, and not just compete one or twice a year. After Pride folded, Fedor was started to get past his prime so maybe he would not have had such a great run. But he is HW goat, not DC.

Miscalculation following both down after cracking them. Hindsight being 20/20 obviously. But both were winnable.
