Hey pal, anytime your got a BJJ blackbelt and a Abu Dahbi caliber grappler at that, they have the tools to beat anybody. Dos Santos is the next UFC heavyweight champ as soon as they give him the title shot.

I'm glad I'm not alone on the Dos Santos train.

And goalie you can't refer to Fedor as the "so-called" best fighter in the world until you can name me another fighter with a thirty fight win streak.

That's like saying brittney spears or ke$ha are the best singers because they're so talented.

Look at a lot of fedors last wins..brett rogers..andrei arlovski...tim sylvia...matt lindland...mark coleman...crocop... he fought a few really good fighters and won, but most of his wins have been over cans. Sorry, but i've always said and maintain, fedor is overrated.

So which Champion or top MMA person, is not overrated in your opinion?

ActionAndy · 06-29-2010, 07:52 AM

The records of some of Fedor's opponents (at the time he fought them):

Cro-Cop was 16-2-2
Nog was 24-2-1
Coleman was 13-5 (first time)
Sylvia was 24-4
Arlovski was 15-5
Fujita was 9-2
Lindland 19-4

What a bunch of bums!

So GSP isn't a real champ either? I can see your point that he's not always finishing fights--there is a hyped mystique around the guy that he could kill grizzly bears with eye lasers and all that, but c'mon. At the time he fought them Sylvia and Arlovski were NOT cans and he finished both of them. He finished Sylvia so quick you could watch the fight twice before the average Billy Mays commercial ends.

Jon Jones, however is legit...

Watched TuF last night.

Maybe its me, but I've always had a dislike for GSP, and even though UFC paints him as a hero and Kos as the heel, I've always liked Josh. Dude always takes whatever fight you throw at him, and always puts on a show, unlike the champ, who is a take down, and never finish you fighter.

I know who I'll be rooting for come that fight.

I like GSP and Koscheck both.

GSP has 20 wins: 8 tkos, 5, subs, 7 decisions (35%)
Koscheck has 15 wins: 4 tkos, 5 subs, 6 decisions (40%)

They're both entertaining fighters, but with somewhat similar stats, i don't know how you can say "unlike the champ who is a take down and never finish you fighter" - unless you just happen to only watch fights that go the distance..
