Cormier named the greatest heavyweight in the history of MMA

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 7, 2023, 12:05 p.m.

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Daniel Cormier talked about the place of Fedor Emelianenko in the list of the best heavyweights in the history of mixed martial arts.

“I think the Emelianenko myth is bigger than who he really is in MMA history. This is not a story. I don't consider Fedor the greatest heavyweight of all time.

This title belongs to Stipa Miocic. Belt defenses and a long reign as divisional champion put him in first place. But Fedor is one of the five strongest heavyweights, ”ESPN quotes Cormier.
