    Cro Cop and Nog' close fights?!?! Fedor didn't lose a ****ing round in those fights.

    Nog's resume is better IMO, that's how I separate them. Nog has the best resume in MMA history as I see it, or at least he's right up there with the very, very best of them. I don't think Hughes is.

    In the past few years, Hendo has lost to Silva and Shields at Middleweight and Rampage at LHW. He has also had some good wins but I dont see how hes in campaign for the GOAT title.

    Because he has consistently fought the best fighters around 2 weightclasses for over a decade and beat many great fighters. Noone else in MMA has fought the level of competition Dan has, if they had then I'm sure they would have a few L's on their record. It's what happens when you always take challenges.

    The win over Shogun was what raised Hendo slightly above the rest of what I call MMA's ATG Second Tier - Penn, Hughes, Sakuraba and Wanderlei.

    For a 41 year old man to go in with a naturally bigger elite fighter like Shogun, when Shogun had looked good in his last fight and was in good shape, and get the W was amazing. Even though I scored the fight a draw, I was still extremely impressed by Dan's performance and feel he was the 'moral victor' of sorts, as he was winning the fight when both men were fresh.

    That meant a lot for me.

    Dont say that because I have been a fan since UFC 1 and thru the dark ages. The difference is people appreciate the sport for what it is. Its a very young sport that is still evolving at a fast rate. Once you have a Fanboy mentality, you can never engage in any reasonable debate. Nostalgia isnt good either.

    Fedor is the greatest HW of all time for now. FACT!
    Was Nog and Mirko close to him in his prime? Yes. FACT!

    It does not surprise me that someone who does not recognize a bet he lost also does not recognize his own ownage

    Fedor fought Arona before he even came to Pride, he obviously improved & the Nogueira & Cro-Cop fights were not close, what planet are you on ?

    They were good fights, yes... but its not as if we never knew who had clearly won the ****in fights before the judges told us now is it ?

    The rest of your post I will ignore because its so ridiculous it doesn`t deserve a response, no offence.
