If Fedor beats Tim and Randy beats Fedor, Randy has a claim at top 5 all time heavyweight status.

If he loses to Fedor, well, he will be remembered as a kind of George Foreman old man, but MMA style.
I think the guy was pointing out that Randy beat all three of those.

Go back to boxing if you want undefeated, protected, corrupt records.
THANK YOU! I am glad someone else here recognizes that.

People are so used to seeing protected boxers rack up astounding records, that they have come to expect the same sort of record as being a requirement of any great MMA fighter.

I'm a MMA fanboy and OP is just a jackass. Maybe it was a failed attempt at humor? I hope so.

But he is indeed the oldest. Congratulations grandpa! I'll think of your glorious carreer you every time I'm plagued by rheumatism!
I agree, he is nowhere near the best, but he is the greatest old man fighting today.
