It can be argued they were better. WW was deeper and Silva fought some weaker contenders but he also has more tittle defenses. If we compare GSP's 9 tittle contenders with Silva's best 9, they are pretty comparable. To say they were "miles better" is stupid. If that was the case WW contenders...

No, they werent. Silva's p4p standing during those years, as well as odds and common match ups between WW/MW contenders prove they werent A browser shertard wont change that. You can get a better hobby

I didnt say Reis fought most his career at Flyweight. I said the opposite. There barely wasnt a prizefighting circuit for his natural weight thats why he needed to take on much bigger men. He was considered a legit opponent even for FW top fighters, and a top ranked BW. Obviously he took such...

Ok, you further prove you are textbook sherbro. Wilson Reis was a very legitimate opponent, specially when compared with the lowest level tittle condenders of other goats candidates. The reason why Reis had a not so good looking record is only because he had to fight waaaay above his natural...

That's a different argument. Your post which I replied to stated that: "Demetrius Johnson was fighting such a small part of the population How many people are weighing 125 lbs?" If you said among males who actually dedicate themselves to prizefighting, you could have a point - still...

Educate yourself

FLWs actually weight around 145lbs. Thats not far from the average in most part of the world. In particular the most populated part which is the East So a FLW is actually closer to the average weight worldwide than fighters in the upper weightclasses. You need to educate yourself a bit

Your account was created a week ago. How do you know about what this forum overrates? Silva and GSP's contender were around similar level for the most part Get another hobby, noob

Well Hendo used his wrestling to ground Franklin or Belfort among others in Pride. Lindland, after that casino Tshirt, was still considered top3 at MW and one of the best wrestlers in the sport at the time. Not for nothing he was paid a large sum of money to fight #1P4P Fedor who needed a rope...

How can Rich Franklin be mentioned above Belfort and Machida, who actually outclassed him on the feet? Also Cung Le

Maybe on paper didnt achieve that much, but "in reality" more media outlets gave the W to Romero vs Whittaker II (a way better version of Rob than the one who fought Dricus) than they gave Dricus the W over Strickland Several media outlets gave Romero the W over Adensaya and Costa as well...

Dricus clearly fought a lesser version of Whittaker

Indeed

Of course there can be some degree of success but actually not that much looking at the examples you bring from a 20 years period. Burns, Masvidal and BJ got finished. Nate didnt fight for the WW tittle. Dos Anjos fought for an interim - and lost. Anything can happen and Islam is a big LW, but...

15lbs is a massive gap. The biggest gap in MMA relatively speaking. That's why when talking about adding a new weight clas, 165lbs is always the first to come up. There is a reason why nobody even came close to become LW and WW champion in the last 20 years of sport. Not in UFC, not even in...

Dustin is not that superior to Leon grappling wise more so considering the size gap. Poirier is likely to get beat by Colbi, Usman, and even Nelson and RDA (not so past prime 5 years ago) at WW, let alone to get in a bad position at some point which is the best those guys managed to do to Leon...

If it was so easy he would not be killing himself to make 155, genius

What rounds? In the first, 15 minuts round, Randleman landed more significant strikes than Bas did, apart from the takedowns

You can argue that Bas won because he was more active during the overtime actually landing more significant strikes in that period. Its debatable but a reasonable stance. To say Bas won just because he landed more NOT SIGNIFICANT strikes during the fight is not.

That could be the case if any other metric of the fight was even, which is obviously not the case. So why do you pretend like that? TDs have often counted more than even significant strikes. When the gap in TDs and top control is so ridiculously lopsided as in this case, to pretend and declare...
