Media Luke Thomas claims Fedor is still HW GOAT

[Dbreiden83080]

DC maybe stipe no. Stipe is chinny and nowhere near the atheltism Fedor had in his prime.

He went 25 Min with Francis..

He is not Chinny..

 

[sampuncher]

In MMA terms he has.....gets taken down by non-wrestlers and struggles to take down decent wrestlers.

You're referring to Jones, Jones is hardly a "non wrestler" in MMA at Jones level. GSP was a "non wrestler" by background, what you're saying holds no weight and how long did he hold them down for?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Fedor is and he would murder DC who has overrated wrestling and striking. Stipe would lose his life against Fedor in his prime.

 

[Based and White Pilled]

It's the GOAT vs BOAT debate.

I wish more people recognized this distinction. Hearing Tyson mentioned in boxing GOAT discussions is exhausting.

 

[HHJ]

Even a blind retarded idiot moron knows that. So Luke isnt reaching here,just tellin the truth

 

[HHJ]

It's the GOAT vs BOAT debate. The very best vs accomplishments.
Max, Aldo, Conor, Volk all have that dilemma at FW.

Fedor is the best and also has the most accomplishments.
If it werent for him MMA would have never made it out of the early 2000s
This website would be closed
and every single last one of us,would be dead.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Fedor is the best, he had an amazing career, he has nothing to prove.

Fedor is still the GOAT, no matter who wins this weekend. He was the #1 guy from age 24 to age 32 (Werdum loss) and he was finishing guys with subs and KOs. That is dominance.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Ok I can agree with him on this.

These guys are fighting it out for the #3 spot after Fedor and Nog

 

[strebitel86]

1.Fedor
2.Stipe

They are above DC, Velasquez and Big Nog.

 

[kenetics]

He went 25 Min with Francis..

He is not Chinny..

But was tko by Struve ...

 

[Undefeated Undisputed]

in 10 years it could be stipe if he keeps fighting and winning. that's what it'll take tho

 

[Undefeated Undisputed]

 

[Dbreiden83080]

But was tko by Struve ...

Fedor was TKO'd by Hendo..

 

[SamboPunch]

Some dudes around here will never turn from Fedor, even if Stipe won his next 5 in a row.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

You think Stipe is better than Fedor legacy-wise? Get out of here lol

• Debate is somewhat murky because of several factors, but for him Fedor edges the HW GOAT claim.
• Reasons why HW GOAT claim is murky: Different time periods, UFC vs Pride/ Strikeforce
• The eye test (Cain or DC might be most talented HWs, but dont have the body of work compared to Fedor or Stipe)
• Great catalogue of wins coupled with bad losses, ie. Werdum beats Cain and Fedor but has losses to several people unavenged
• For him the only real arguement is Fedor or Stipe because of longevity in the division + body of work

I tend to agree, but believe especially if Stipe wins it could be a 1. A., 1. B. type scenario for Fedor/ Stipe.

Luke's opinion is not in the least bit controversial.
And that's even if someone disagrees with with it. If not the GOAT, Fedor's at worst a finalist.

Anyway, as recently as last April experts still picked Fedor as MMA HW GOAT.
Ten greatest heavyweight fighters in MMA history: Fedor Emelianenko tops the all-time list

 

[kellenn]

He's right

Fedor is HW GOAT

Fedor would have a punchers chance against Stipe or DC. They are better than him everywhere

Fedor was TKO'd by Hendo..

Million times better than getting TKO'd by Struve. The guy may be really tall, but he's a terrible fighter. Even Fedor took out all his tall terrible opponents with ease. At least getting KO'd by Hendo makes a lot of sense since he knocks people silly all the time. Not to mention Fedor was punching him into a pulp before he reversed him and Fedor got up like a lumbering oaf and got caught.
