Cro Cop (2005) vs Gane (Current) Cro Cop big favorite in a ring, smaller favorite in a cage.
Big Nog (2006) vs Stipe (2017) Stipe either format, Stipe has the TDD to keep it on the feet and out point Big Nog.
Barnett (2006) vs Werdum (2016) Barnett has the wrestling and sub grappling defense to win via takedowns top control and GnP.
Fedor (2008) vs Cormier (2017) Fedor, DC at this point didn't grapple a whole lot and Fedor has better striking, speed and power, clinch games are about even.
Alex Emelianenko (2006) vs Ngannou (current) toss up, Aleks had super fast hands and better striking but Ngannou has a great chin, better power and has better mental fortitude.
Arlovski (2006) vs JDS(2011) JDS, he has a huge durability advantage.
Sergei Kharitonov (2006) vs Pavlovich (current) Kharitonov, better striking and better sub grappling.
Mir (2008) vs Blaydes (current) Mir has better striking and sub grappling, Mir should be the favorite here but he could do something stupid and get TKOed on the ground.
Carwin (2008) vs Hunt (2015) Hunt, Carein didn't use his wrestling much so Hunt out strikes him.
Sylvia (2004) vs Volkov (current) Volkov, more varied offense and better clinch and grappling.
Couture (2003) vs Cain (2013) Cain similar fighters but Cain was bigger, faster, hit harder and had better cardio.

Rizzo (2002) vs Overeem (2011) Overeem, better everywhere other than chin and Rizzo's hands weren't that great to take advantage of Overeem's lesser chin.
