top fighter

Isn't that a bible translation?

If that was an honest query, he was saying Van Damme.

I was implying some weed, there is nothing good about crack. And your scenario is the kind of crap the stoned jock riders there live for. It reminded me of them is all.

Fighters now and even then have a habit of knowing how to exploit the rules of the current organization. Fedor and I am sure even Noguiera are more than aware of this. The soft skin of Fedor was a particular weakness that put him in trouble in at least a few fights in particular the 2nd Noguiera fight and the fight against Matt Lindland. A combination of exploiting the rules and soft skin if what led to the first professionally recorded loss of Fedor even if many including me do not consider it valid at all. If we consider the rules of the old IVC and unlimited fight duration as a good natural fight environment then I would consider each fighter on those criteria than the particular rules of any current organization. Not sure if allowing the full allowence of moves from the original vale tudo and UFC would be acceptable like attacking the kidneys, back of the head, spine, etc. but I think Rickson, Sakuraba, and Bruce would know how to exploit those human weaknesses very well as was shown in the vale tudo tournaments of Rickson. Still think Rickson would lose in the striking war due to huge powerful strikers with reach destroying him.

Wish I would have added Josh Barnett on the poll.

great BJJ but comon 400-0? really?

I don't know how well he would have done against top tier fighters

I heartily disagree.Ever heard of Ron Tripp? And who did
rickson beat in MMA worth mentioning? And he was infamous for screwing with the rules of a match till they were to his liking.

I did say would have in the spirit of a bad list.


If he would have gone trough the MMA training of today he would have been an absolute beast. He beat guys 120 lbs bigger than him in the vale tudo.

I think a bunch of guys from yesteryear could fight now if they ate and trained like guys do today.


Bruce Lee would be fighting mighty mouse right now



If Fedor trained outside his comfort zone he would have been a goat.

He weighed 165 lbs at one time. I would put him probably in featherweight but possibly bantamweight or lightweight.

Back in the Pride days he was good. I also thought about Ricco Rodriguez since there is some talk about him as unstoppable in his prime until he got into drugs and shit.

ya but with his quickness and modern training he wouldnt have been so cut up. he did that for the movies.

Exactly. So he would weigh more as a professional fighter then he did back then. Add the weight cutting and i think he would end up in a weight class slightly heavier then he weighed late in his life.
