Pride/Emelianenko haters and/or recency bias.So why so many people arguing that Stipe is HW goat? Because of his UFC run mostly?
Could be true with a prime Cain, who knows.Fedor beats Stipe
Cain beats Fedor
Literally thanks to JDS.Could be true with a prime Cain, who knows.
Fun fact: out of all UFC fighters with at least twelve fights, Cain ranks highest when it comes to the ratio of landed to absorbed significant strikes.
I have nothing against Cain personally (I.e., I don't hold any non-fighting issues against him, never did), but I ALWAYS thought he was overrated.Fedor is the HW GOAT, may be the GOAT period.
Stipe is the UFC HW goat, USADA tested.
Prime JDS might beat everyone ever, but he was juiced to the gills.
Also I'd take Stipe over Cain all day all night.
"Prime" Barnett-> juiced to the gills
"Prime" JDS -> juiced to the gills
"Prime" Jones -> juiced to the gills
...see a pattern?
We all agree that Prime Fedor would murder Prime Stipe right?

Prime Bob Sapp gets them both out in the first round.We all agree that Prime Fedor would murder Prime Stipe right?

Fedor's kryptonite is an elite wrestler with solid BJJ and standup. Cain and DC fit the bill.Prime Fedor beats anyone and everyone.
That combination of agility, power, fearlessness and the best hips in the game is just unbeatable.
