Well, Pride's heavyweight being better is no myth. You don't really have to see the fights between UFC and Pride(EDIT*) to understand that. Myth is the part where its "better by a landslide". In Nog's defense its kind of weird he came back from retirement. The guy is half blind. I'm glad i get to see him fight again but his performance isn't going to be top notch. In that hypothetical situation, like i said, i think it hinders Fedor's chances to be GOAT a lot more than it gives Couture credit to be GOAT. There ARE other people who can be called GOAT .
