Personally, I think it's ridiculous that DC is getting all this talk about being the greatest of all time and all. I don't think lot of people remember, but it wasn't a sure thing that he could cut to LHW because of kidney issues, and this guy WAS a heavyweight who cut to LHW and moved back up. Just because someone's pudgy and 5'11, doesn't mean he's a small guy when that guy is fighting at 250+ pounds at heavyweight, not to mention he got his shit pushed in twice by the same guy at LHW.

Big Nog on the other hand, it looks like lot of people are putting DC over Nog. Big Nog, for the first 9 years of his career, literally lost to one man, Fedor. He lost absolute garbage decision against Hendo, then he lost split decision against Josh and then UDed him, not to mention he won the heavyweight belt at HW in PRIDE and UFC.

I mean, maybe it's not easy to place Big Nog over DC, but it can't be easy to put DC over Big Nog either. This is some ridiculous shit. And if you can ignore DC's loss, not just one but two, against Jon Jones, then why can't you ignore Nog's? Unfortunately for Big Nog, he couldn't move up away from a weight class where he got his shit pushed in like Dc was able to.

I like DC but it's Fedor, Nog, and Werdum.
You don't get to jump 10+ years of HW ranked wins because of 1 win against Stipe.

You must defeat Barnett to stand a chance

Bad news for Fedor.

No it isnt.
Barnett tried to cheat and affliction collapsed unto itself.
Fedor wins. Flawless victory.

Big Nog was the #1, #2, or #3 ranked HW from 2001-2008.
Daniel hasn't even been in the UFC that long.

He fought during a weaker era. He was pretty much done by 32 as an elite fighter. He is only a few years older per than "DC? Not is in the legends category but DC has had the better career. If he were to defend the Hwt title against legitimate contender, it makes his case stronger.
 
Between Nog and DC I give it to DC at this point. 2 division champion who hasn't faded as his career has progressed even into his late 30's. That's a huge difference IMO. Nog looked like a shell of his former self (from taking a lot of damage, even in some fights he won). DC is as good as ever and still a top fighter in both divisions.

Cormier has fought 24 times. Nog fought 46.
He had a similar record than Cormier in 2004 and he retired in 2015.
 
DC has like 20 fights. Let’s see where he is after 35-40.
