'Easily'? Nah, Moose was low-key overrated as all of his signature wins were against guys before or past their primes. Whenever he faced an elite fighter in their prime, he always lost. Jacare Souza proved their first fight was a complete fluke. Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker would have beaten him, maybe even Luke Rockhold, we know Chris Weidman was never the same after his loss to Rockhold. Moose may have beaten Bisping, but his performance would not have been impressive.

Fun fact: Cro Cop actually has THREE wins over Josh Bartnett -- all in Pride.

Fedor actually had wins over Pedro Rizzo, Jeff Munson, Ricardo Arona, Satoshi Ishi, all champions in MMA organizations. That's 13 champions for FEDOR. And just off the top of my head. Not sure why people say ,( fighters past their prime), Fedor was the same age as all of them. Sometimes older. He was 41 & Frank Mir was 38. He was 32 & Arkowski was 29. He was 29 and Randleman was 29. He was 42 & Sonnen was 40. It goes on like that. He was the same age if not older then most all the guys he fought. He & Big Nog both prime 28.

Probably give some consideration to promotion strength and “future” champ especially the latter doesn’t mean too much when it’s so far removed. Same with vacant belts - by definition they didn’t fight a reigning champion to win it. It’s like calling Marquardt a feather in Chael’s cap but Nate lost the unification bout. And as mentioned, in a promotion that folded the next night. That’s much different than knocking off a recently usurped champion in their relative prime from atleast a strong promotion
