Who has the best resume in MMA history?

How so fella?

 

Tis a very good list and maybe you have a point there in terms of depth, but Fedor > Nog x 2 is still difficult to argue against

 

Ironic. Fedor and Nog have 7 opponents in common there. Except Fedor destruction of all said 7 was far more poignant than Nog's. And yet you still insist that Fedor's resume is weak. Me thinks you're just surfing Sherdog records and revising. I suggest you watch those fights.
And Overeems brother?!?! Really? That some kind of joke?

 

I guess you have to factor in quality of the Wins aswell. Horn and Hendo arent HW's, and there's a case that Rico won that fight and you've obviously picked out Valentine because of his last name. And Kharitanov is overrated imo

Cro Cop and even Sylvia & Sapp beat the living **** out of Nog till he pulled out the sub, not a critism that's why we love him right. But in the mutual oponants they share Fedor did much better and you still got Fedor over Nog twice to deal with

 

I mentioned Horn as he has a Who's who of MMA on his resume and I thought we were discussing that and not best wins.

Im not really dismissing Nog's resume, it's sublime, my point was that Fedor delt with his competition a little bit more decisively for a longer period.

Ok then, i'll humour you and dismiss Fedor's two best wins while keeping Nogs 2nd best on the list, but I like a challenge

Barnett - Probably the key win if you look at both their resumes together, but the numbers dont add up when you look at it this way. Nog has two wins and 3 loss' against the no 1, 3 & 4 HW's in the Pride division(Nog being no 2 obviously), but Fedor is 3-0 over the no 2 & 3, so do the math. Add to that Fedor's wins are much more convincing , both Nog's v Barnett fights were close, and Cro Cop fight was a legendary come from behind victory, but Mirko landed a HK right at the bell and if it had landed maybe 20 secs earlier, he could have conceivably forced a ref stoppage, but redit where its due, one of my favourite fights of all time

Werdum - Well since Im not able to pick Nog for this I'll have to pick Arona
Kharitanov - Schilt, being a strike who was taken down and beaten. But Arlovski, Goodridge, Herring, Randleman have all achieved as much if not more than at HW than Sergei
Coleman - Coleman x 2, Randleman, Sylvia

Quite a challenge considering we have dismissed Fedor's two best wins, but I think Ive made a case

 

Couture, Liddell, Big Nog, Henderson, GSP, Anderson. Fedor being number 1 is a ****ing joke.

 

how is that?

 

anderson silva all day everyday!!

 

As I said 3-0-1 over the 2 & 3 in the division opposed to 2-3-1 over the 1,3,4 in the division is really all there is to say about it, and writing 'real holes' isnt really making a case quite simply

They both have plenty of sub par fights on their records, and arguing which ones are the worst is ignoring the main points above, Fedor has both the better wins and probably the more sub par ones. Point is he totally owned Nog twice, so he fact Nog beat so many good guys is an testament to how good Fedor is.

Nog had to beat a lot of tough guys and did. Why did he have to beat them? To get a shot at the Champion.
