Just Brutal Knockouts... Here's Why Fedor Emelianenko Was The Greatest Fighter Ever

He mauled world’s deadliest strikers in cold blood, revolutionized ground-and-pound and wiped out a squad of UFC champions. During an unprecedented decade of dominance, Fedor Emelianenko conquered Pride FC royal division and went down in history as the greatest heavyweight in MMA. Let’s recall the brightest moments from the Last Emperor’s red-hot sledgehammer spectacle.

@cleech74 Жыл бұрын

After having been a UFC fan for several years, my intro to him (and the Pride: Grand Prix tournaments) was from the first time Rogan talked about him on his podcast. I remember two things. First, he talked about the fight with Nogueira, and the insane ground & pound, especially when Nog was in the corner, eating the viscous blasts Fedor was raining down on him. The second story was about the Randleman fight, which had “the slam”, and the kimora that Fedor secured right after being dumped on his head. I had been listening to the episode, and had to wait until I got home to find those fights on KZfaq. After hearing Rogan describe it, and as crazy as he made it sound, I was wondering if it was actually as bonkers as he had said it was. Well, he was right. When I was watching both of those fights, it was the first time I experienced a bit of anxiety from how brutal some of the action was. Plus, Pride rules allowed the stomps & kicks to the head, and the crowds in Japan are eerily quiet during the fights, so that definitely ratcheted up the brutality of the sport, compared to what I was used to seeing. Oddly enough, the kimora Fedor submitted was the toughest part to witness. He really wrenched Randleman’s arm & elbow, and in the quiet arena, the scream he yelled out in pain echoed throughout the building. Instantly, I was a fan, and watched a few more of his fights, a highlight reel, and a great mini-documentary on his mysterious training regiment, and the mystique of his rustic, hardened by the elements & Cold War era type lifestyle. A must watch, for any fan of Fedor, or mma in general. Btw, I somehow hadn’t seen the fight, or any of the footage from his fight with Herring, until just now. Holy shit, was that an epic, one-sided ass-kicking. That was a career altering fight for Herring, who quickly learned how badly outclassed he was, and wore it smeared all over his face. So scary!

I remember Fedor being so unbelievably respectful of everyone, and showing true concern and respect for other fighters who he thought he might've hurt during the fight. The way he let go of Randleman's arm, after the submission, holding it, and placing it in a position next to his body, hoping he wasn't hurt, and not wanting to cause any damage. I love how Randleman picked him up, and put him over his shoulder, holding his arm up, showing how much respect he had for Fedor. That big smile that came over Fedor's face was great! I can't remember what Fedor said verbatim about Fujita's punch, but it was something to the effect that he had never been hit that hard in his life, and said he hit like a mule! There will never be another Fedor. Poise, confidence, humble, kind, respectful, and an insanely talented fighter. I'm happy to have watched him through all the years, from the beginning. Jon Jones may be a badass, but he, as far as being the GOAT, no. Fedor emobodied what a GOAT REALLY is.

one of the things I loved about Fedor was that he wasn't complacent. Like, he gets out of Nog's armbar attempt and immediately looks for an opening to kick him in the head. And the way he did it wasn't unhinged in the way we thought of Vanderlei. It was just like a focused machine. So you never saw a fight with him being boring; he was just on a relentless pace to put away his opponent with any tool that was available at the moment. I try not to be a fanboy but Fedor man, he was the epitome of a fighter for me, and still is.
