Shogun never won a PRIDE title' date=' let alone 2 Diff ones at the same damn time. Shogun won the MW GP. That's like saying DC just won the SF HW title. He won a glorified tournament..[/quote']

Yeah I know. Like i said, glorified tournament. Wandy had the belt for a while and him and Shogun wouldn't fight. Then Dan came along and slept Wanderlei in brutal fashion.

UFC Title > PRIDE Title.

 

Lmao, 12'er

I see that you don't have an actual response.

 

How do you want me to respond to a newb who hasn't watched MMA for that long, let alone a PRIDE event. PRIDE was the #1 MMA org. Go look at the rankings back then and Rampage proved it when he decimated the UFC poster boy at the time Chuck Lidell.

Admittedly biased. Hendo is an easy top 5 favorite of all time in my books. However, even looking at it as objectively as I possibly can, I have to say that Dan's longevity, not to mention insane weight jumping edges him above Shogun. At the end of the day, when you're looking at their loses, Dan's loss to Lil Nog is probably the "worst" lose between the two of them, but I'd say Dan's victories over Wandy, Fedor, Big Nog and Shogun himself are a bit more impressive than Shogun's career highlights of Machida (arguably twice), Rampage and Liddell. The arguments over championship titles is a bit shallow - I think we've all learned that Championship fights and belts in this industry are often PPV selling tools more so than genuine honors.

 

It's not an clear cut choice, but I think Hollywood Dan is the right one.

Hendo held two Pride titles at the same time. Shobum only won the grand Prix.

 

Hendo would have been the UFC middleweight champion if it wasn't for the greatest fighter on the planet. Would have probably won the Light Heavy title too if he was a legit sized Light Heavy.

 

Plus Hendo smashed the GOAT.

 

Plus Shobum tapped to strikes.

Hendo lost in the grand Prix that Shogun won :)

 

And without TRT he would've been finished 5 years ago, we all know that there's no need to debate
