These are players I probably won't even beat consistently or at all while using my absolute best fighters in the game. Doesn't prove much.

Rashad CAN be used competitively on ranked other good players.
I've gone on win streaks with him and Hendo.

Quite frankly a lot of these guys aren't as dynamic as the new generation. They were in their era. But we don't need to go crazy and give BJ Penn crazy BJJ and act like some of today's fighters don't know the tricks he used to pull off against unsuspecting fighters back in the day.

That's a very good point.

With someone like Rashad, when it comes to Icon stats, I'd just buff his speed to about a 92 putting him in line with guys like Weidman and buff his grapple stamina to about 93 and he'll be good to go... Maaaaybe a slight buff in Toughness, but Nothing else needs a buff really.

With most of these fighters it's their physical attributes that need a buff. Speed, power, conditioning, heart.

I love the fact that all these "washed-up" fighters are represented the way they are. This means using them is a challenge and they have the weaknesses that they show in real life. Now, I know that fighters can get bad stats in areas they're very good at, e.g. Stamina, but overall all these legends are represented quite well. Lyoto, Anderson, these guys have their tools but you have to be wary of their weaknesses, because they have them, they get older and the new generation isn't here to stare in awe at them, they've caught up and surpassed them even. That's reality.

You can have both versions.

I guess, however I hope you people aren't wanting 90s across the board or something like that.

Dude what? He may be more refined now in terms of how he approaches fights, but he was definitely in prime form back in the pride days, not now. Prime Mark Hunt was throwing spinning back head kicks and eating flush landed left head kicks from prime Cro Cop....

But had absolutely no ground game, hence why he went on a long losing streak and the UFC attempted to buy him out rather than give him fights.

Yup and he still has no ground game lol. That's always been Mark's downfall.
