Yeah, he sure was. Not like it was just a management dispute or anything. He fought a prime Big Nog on the ground and stood up with a prime cro cop but was scared of the UFC )

2 fighters does not a career make. I'll never call him the best because he let bullshit get in the way of him proving it. Fight Mir, Velasquez, Dos Santos, Lesnar? Nah, I'll fight Jeff fucking Monson )
Heavyweight is a whole different animal though. Just about every guy in the division has one punch ko power... the margin for error is so much smaller. That plus the way Fedor fought are what make him GOAT imo.
Dude was up like 88-12 in strikes 4 minutes into the third round. And avoided the takedown and took jones down twice. At the most the fight was a draw. Jones was the champ, he took the last two rounds for sure, probably even a 10-8 fifth.
The fact that he never came to the UFC didn't change what he did in his career either. He ran the division undefeated for a decade. Pride was the top dog at the time, not the UFC (Despite what Dana says) He fought the top guys, went at them with their own style and beat them all. He went straight for the kill every fight. He beat the Pride Champ, 4 former UFC heavyweight champs. Arlovski is ranked #7 right now, Hunt at #5... Fedor beat them both. Junior and Cain and countless others have both said he is/was the best ever, but if Jake says he isnt it must be true.
