I genuinely believe that Francis Ngannou would beat Jon jones. The way he trained and prepped for Stipe and Tyson Fury, shows how good he is when he is focused on a gameplan. And he is a freak athlete with ungodly power. I dont think Jon could out muscle him. And not a chance in hell Jon could hurt him standing.

I do believe that Nemkov would beat Poatan. I love Alex as much as any other mma fan, but he still hasn't clearled up the question of if he can handle a good wrestler, Jan clarly controlled him for a round before gassing out in altitude, and still the last two rounds were really close. Nemkov resume at light heavyweight of Corey Anderson, Ryan Bader and Phil Davis who were all top ufc talent at lhw before leaving to Bellator is to me more impressive than Peirera's Jan and Jiri wins alone.

The answer is overall with some exceptions imo. One dominates 125, UFCs caliber of competition is sub par in this one particular division. Makes sense as the demographic is asain, they arnt known for Heavyweights. Speaking of heavyweights PFLs new champ looked exceptional, they have ngannou and bellators roster for him to compete vs. Pretty close. Then to me, AJ Mckee would of smoked everyone but the dagestanis and given them hell.

Early 2000's heavyweights had stiffer competition than current UFC heavyweights. It doesn't matter though because it has nothing to do with the original point. Anatoly isn't small, he's 6ft tall and weighs 240 lbs. He's got a bigger frame than DC, Jones, Couture, Almeida, Stipe weighed like 236 when he fought Ngannou and DC.

Yes and no. Its certainly within the interests of the UFC to convince everyone into THINKING that they do. But do they actually? Arguably not. The ONE Championships bantam weight and fly weight competition would give the UFC roster a serious run for its money. The PFL has Francis Ngannou, who is arguably the best heavy weight on earth. Rizin is home to plenty of elite competition, some of which has gone on to compete in the UFC (ie. Jiri Prochazka). Unfortunately the UFC will never co-promote with its competition so well never know for certain because 1) if their fighters lose than the narrativr that they have all the best talent will be shattered and 2) even if their fighters win, they would still be signal boosting their competition. The UFC has an unbelievably stacked feather, light weight, and welter weight divisions, but besides that there are better fighters in other organizations everywhere.

It's easy to say x, y, z would give these fighters a run for their money - but it very rarely happens. We have fighters come from other companies and get demolished in the UFC. We also have guys who got beat out of the UFC, go to other promotions and become champions seemingly overnight. 9 times out of 10, unless a fighter is way passed his prime, a higher level UFC fighter will go to another company and immediately become a title holder or top contender. I can count on 1 hand how many times that opposite has been done.

UFC me er held the best in my opinion for one of the reason of not allowing kicking and kneeing grounded opponents. It's was their promoting that got folks to believe such a thing which proves how gullible we can be. A lot of great fighters, even the past wrestlers would not be so committed to takedowns if they knew they could get kneed. That's why Jones walked in with one hand on the ground. It was to avoid knees and kicks. He basically limited the opponent until he was ready to throw. That would not work in promotions like ONE FC
