In their primes, who ya got?
IMO standup is even, Fedor has better submissions, and Cormier has the wrestling advantage.
I give the slight edge to Cormier.

This would be 02-06 Fedor vs Strikeforce gp Cormier for these people who seem to get confused with fighter’s primes.

Prime cormier beats fedor badly. Watch what he did to josh Barnett. Prime roided up Bigfoot Silva. Stipe in the first fight
It’s a terrible fight for fedor

It seems we wind up having a lot of the same opinions about how these hypothetical match ups would play out. There was a reason Cormier’s nickname on here during the Strikeforce days was Emilianegro.

I think Fedor has way quicker hands and reach, explosiveness advantage, DC’s only hope is two wrestlefuck and not get kimured

I think Fedor is clearly the better striker. Is faster and more explosive. Better subs. Better cardio.
Cormier’s wrestling could negate all that. It’s a toss up in the UFC. In Pride Fedor wins fairly easily.

That 10 minute first round combined with Fedor’s aggression would be a huge problem for Cormier.

No it wouldn’t. He’d be on his back right away

Fedor by armbar. He fought many guys that had a “wrestling advantage” but Fedor proved time and time again that Sambo is better.

Prime Fedor just has too many ways to finish the fight.

I don’t know. I could definitely see an armbar, but I don’t see anyone being able to kimura DC’s drumsticks.
So I just looked up reaches:
Cormier 72.5
Fedor 76
I was thinking this should give the advantage to Fedor…but I remember Fedor having more looping punches, so I’m not sure.
