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...

I dont get you sorry. Obviously I count the signifcant strikes. The rest are called literally "not significant" for a reason.

Barely a couple of significant strikes is the difference

To be fair, neither Randleman, Kohsaka or the guys Bas fought in Pancrase were legit HW sized themselves

To compare taking your opponent to a controversial judges decision with strangling your opponent to the point that the referee has to intervene to save his life seems a bit stupid

So is hard for you to understand that a guy who was considered legit vs top fighters one and even two weighclasses above his, he brings such credit to a lower, newly created division? Reis had 23 pro career wins only losing to four guys in that span, a couple of champions at FW¡! and BW, a...

You have no idea. Wilson Reis is a very legitimate opponent, specially if you compare him with the lowest level tittle condenders of other goats The reason why Reis had a not so good looking record is because he had to fight way above his natural weightclass for most of his career. The guy...

Mods ban/move plenty interesting threads while they give a pass to this BS. Irs a disgrace

It was a great late career performance but no, Almeida was no top contender by that point. It had been more than 5 years since he had beat a ranked fighter, retired for severla years, and had already lost to Coté after his return

Silva was #1 p4p because he didnt suffer an upset as GSP vs Serra and because he was finishing his tittle contenders at a much higher rate. Regarding the h2h, yeah it was a classic clash of styles but betting lines would definitely favour Silva. Size of course would have to do with it but lets...

Yes Henderson actually beat Franklin apart from doing better vs common opponents, and would be favoured vs any version of Marquardt

You can especulate that for many in history. Both Belfort and Henderon beat Silva's best wins in each other and Rich Franklin and would've been heavily favoured over any other MW tittle contender of that era. What if Anderson didnt exist.

TS listed them by tittle defenses so dont thank for Franklin top5. Rich was very good, definitely elite in his time, but not really the best at any point. There was a smal MW circuit in UFC, not because there werent top fighters of MW size. When Franklin fought the trully best in Machida...

I had it 48-47 too but I could see a case for Mousasi in some of the rounds because Lovato barely mounted any offense. Anyways, not like the juiced monster looked unbeatable in there.

Not anymore but Shlemenko was another example. Even "Peregrino" Lutterbach is pretty close to those numbers. Among others in the regionals. I dont think digits in a resume say that much. The feat in Mousasi's case is his level of competition across several weightclasses for two full decades

Mousasi already arguably beat him despite Lovato being obscenely juiced to the gills

He was underrated for many years. A solid contender to be UFC MW champion around the time he left the promotion yet some sherbros denied him such status

15 years ago Mamed was getting gifted a decision vs Tabera, then losing to Santiago and drawing with Sakurai. It was exactly a decade ago when this fight would have been huge worldwide.
