Sherdog is the only place on the internet where Nog is ranked above Stipe lol. Most fans outside the bubble have Stipe as the HW GOATThere you go again with the "oh he robbed this fighter and this fighter" lol dude you just don't understand how bad that makes you look. To get a valid argument across you need to be able to see both sides not just be completley bias for one side. That's where you're fucking up & why 95% of the thread is disagreeing with you.
Nogueria's prime was realistically over before he even came to the UFC. He had amassed 35 professional fights within 6.5 years and his body was completley beaten down from constant fighting, hard training down in Brazil and really tough fights. When he came to the UFC they had a weak HW division which allowed him to shine early. He beat Heath Herring who at the time only had 2 wins in 3.5 years and Tim Sylvia who would go on to get knocked out by Ray fucking Mercer only a year later. His head was out of the game once Couture came up and whooped his ass who Nogueria BEAT btw after Randy had just lost the HW title.
As many have already mentioned to you before, you need to analyze data from back then versus today and compare the number of top 10 ranked wins that Nogueria has versus how many Stipe has. If you're only argument is "oh well he beat DC and DC beat Barnett" then you might as well just move on my friend because MMA math isn't the way anybody should go when making an argument.
I'm talking about Nog's 3 (arguably 5) losses in his PRIDE prime and you're writing out an essay about his UFC run lol. Good job addressing the points made big guy
