Who In MMA Has Faced The Toughest Competition?

Especially when he was in Pride he faced almost every top HW possible and is still facing top guys.

 

+ 1 more on the Big Nog wagon. I've stated many times that huge chunk of Fedor's greatness was achieved in his victories over Nogueira.

 

WTF no way ? Chuck faced 10 UFC or PRIDE Champions Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva, Rich Franklin, Rampage Jackson, Randy Couture, Rashad Evans, Shogun Rua, Murilo Bustamante, Kevin Randleman and Vitor Belfort add in rematches and thats 14 fights out of 29 career fights vs LEGIT Champions. Add in Strikeforce Champions Babalu 2x and Alistair Overeem hey maybe the titles arent considered world titles but Babalu choked out Shogun and Overeem beat the **** out of some of the best. Chuck fought Jeremy Horn 2x times another guy whos faced and beat some of the toughest in the world. Jeff Monson not a shabby fighter himself a guy who worked his way into a title shot in 2006. Guy Mezger MMA veteran handed Tito his first defeat and gave some of MMA's best very tough fights. Amar Suloev has a damn good resume himself. Keith Jardine besides his win over Liddell KOed Forrest Griffin 18 months before Forrest won the title. Jose Pele destroyed the great Matt Hughes. So out of 29 fights Liddell fought somebody who owns a win over a former World Champion 24 times. Maybe he hasnt faced the toughest competition but saying no way shows your ignorance.

 

Randy? He pretty much spent his whole career in tournies, championship fights or fighting past, present or future champs.

 

Nishijima. Only faced 5 opponents but boy did he get flung in the deep end. And remember he was a semi successful cruiser weight.
