How many genetically gifted looking people were they beating? The genetically gifted fighters were boxing during the reigns of almost everybody you named. Fedor was an amazing fighter and who did everybody want him to fight? Brock Lesnar. Despite the fact that fedor is WAY more skilled than brock, brock was definitely CAPABLE of beating him just due to his size, strength, and collegiate level wrestling. Couture was a much better fighter than Lesnar and Lesnar knocked him out. Mark hunt is a way better fighter than Lesnar and Lesnar embarrassed him. And if he hadn't failed in the NFL, we'd have never seen him in the UFC
