which fighters outside of the UFC do you think would be able to beat the current UFC champ. ill start with an easy one, HW: fedor over lesner.
Torres is very good, too bad he isn't a little bigger. I have no problem with the smaller divisions, the UFC does. With the exception of Fedor, the UFC probably has the best fighters in the world inside the divisions they have a champion in. Though Aoki is trying to make a case otherwise.
The UFC doesnt have a problem with smaller divisions. Zuffa owns both the WEC and UFC hell Joe Silva is a matchmaker for both. Read up on it Zuffa didnt want the WEC to be a minor league anymore they wanted their own identity and thats the best company for the guys 155 ibs and down. To answer the thread question Heavyweight - I of course believe Fedor submitts Brock Lesnar. Light Heavyweight - I dont see anyone defeating Lyoto Machida. Middleweight - Id give a great shot to Vitor Belfort agianst Anderson Silva. Welterweight - Noboddy touches GSP. Lightweight - Agian noboddy touches BJ especially not Shinya Aoki.
Fedor beat Lesnar I would give Mousasi a chance to beat Machida. Vito-A.Silva would be a very good fight no one touch penn and st-pierre.
I'll rephrase: The UFC does not have a title for divisions below lightweight, nor do they have sanctioned fights in these lower than lightweight divisions on the UFC cards. While displaying their love for the lighter weight classes, the UFC lets all of these matches be handled by a sibling organization with less popularity.
Only at heavyweight does the UFC not have the best. Mousasi has no chance of beating Machida or Silva. Belfort certainly has no chance of beating Silva. GSP beats everybody including Shields. Penn beats everybody including Aoki, Alvarez, Hansen, JZ.
To be honest the UFC has the elite of all champs. The only division that they have that I would consider another fighter the real champ at is Fedor at HW
Yeah thats what I meant, UFC does not have the best HW because thats Fedor. However, UFC has a better stable of HW's as a whole even if most of them just arent that good, its more a reflection of the HW division as a whole as opposed to the UFC's HW roster.
