If you remember, Randy was able to put Lesnar on the fence for awhile....until he did not want to be there. Just because you are on the fence, does not mean you are there against your will. This is not Sumo my friend.
But let me just clarify what you are saying for my sake and my lack of MMA "common sense".
-So by your measure, because Carwin beat Mir in 30 seconds, and Lesnar beat him over 3 rounds....Carwin is the better fighter?
-Mir put on 30lbs, and Carwin was stronger = Carwin stronger than Lesnar?
If you want to say Carwin is bigger, stronger and more athletic than Lesnar, I'll just bow out of the conversation right now. Carwin's size has been inflated from 6'1" to 6'6" and 255lbs to 300lbs.
As far as Mr. Rogers. He has had almost zero fight experience, he caught AA who I would not even rank in the top 10 since Sylvia knocked him out the first time. Immediately that puts him in the top spot against Fedor... Face it, Fedor has only fought the UFC rejects in other organizations. At one time, Fedor was the most dominate HW fighter in the world, and Wandy was also the most dominate LHW of the world.
Things change, if Wandy never came to the UFC, he'd still be considered the best LHW in the world short of Shogun perhaps. But he's fighting the best in the world, and is not ranked anymore, just like Crocrop.
