How does Cheick Kongo stack in today's hw?

[UFCBlackbelt]

Prime Cheick vs the top 10.

 

[xentreos]

Idk man his striking defense was always the worst part of his game. His top game and offensive attack though would still place him firmly in the top 10 ,but I think his career would play out more or less the same in today's landscape

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Top 3 nut crackers of all time.

 

[koquerelle]

A good gatekeeper, which is pretty much what he was.

 

[Joshuaace]

His career would be about the same imo. MMA has evolved in general, but it's not very evident at HW.

 

[asdf122345]

Top 10 for sure.

 

[Striker Fox]

41 year old Kongo beat 28 year old Alexander Volkov

 

[BFoe]

Today’s HW division is pretty awful. I think Kongo is easily top 10, maybe cracks the top 5 at times. Would still lose to the top few guys though.

Top 3 HW Frenchman

 

[ferrisjso]

Hard to know when Coker wasted the end of his career.

 

[hohner]

Bring him back to fight Black Beast just for fun.

 

[KinG]

Ufc hw is super week so i think he would be in top 10 easy

Ngannou knocks him out in the 1st round
Gane probably wina by decision, but Kongo has underrated offensive wrestling
Miocic finishes him or wins dominant decision, standing or wrestling no difference
Lewis fight is 50/50. Kongo has huge technical edge, he can use striking and wrestling, but he's chinny and it may be typical Lewis KO win
Blaydes can outwrestle him, but Kongo may prevail with his striking. Close matchup
Volkov outstrikes him
I think he beats Rozeinstruik by mixing striking with wrestling
He beats Daukaus and Abdurakhimov.
I think Tybura outwrestles him but Kongo has a solid chance
Aspinall idk
