And then he lost a competetive fight vs Big Foot. No one is saying Fedor would beat jones or he is even top 5, ppl are just saying he has the better toolbox/type of fighter to beat jones compared to some top 5 LHW's.
Fedor fanboys ITTs' warped perceptions of reality are truly amazing.
He was winning the Werdum fight until he got subbed? LOL yeah for a whole 10s I suppose. He was winning the Hendo fight? Once again, for an extremely short period of time before he demonstrated extremely poor striking defense and slowed reflexes. Calling the Bigfoot fight competitive to top it off? He got 10-8'd in the second round after a tossup first. Finally, if you're going to hang your hat on Fedor being competitive for a couple minutes before getting finished by the last three reasonable fighters he faced, you better dock him some points for getting busted up by Brett Rogers a bit.
Nobody is saying Bisping is shot because he...wait for it...actually BEATS RELEVANT FIGHTERS. That's something Fedor hasn't been able to say for years, people.
In conclusion, Jones would be -1000 against Fedor. Saying he has the toolbox or any other sort of chance of winning besides hitting a hail mary sub/overhand right is ridiculous. Look at what Jones is doing to top 10 fighters and look at what Fedor has done in the past couple of years. It's honestly mind boggling to me that anyone could think he would have anything but a tiny chance.
