Fedor Emelianenko: The Greatest Warrior of All Time

[Nikolai]

-Fedor Emelianenko "The Last Emperor" is the greatest fighter known to man. He would destroy Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, or any other negro that claimed they were the greatest. He is unstoppable, destroying multiple American UFC champs all in the first round. There isn't a man on this planet that can beat him.- Nik

Fedor gets slammed on his head, but still manages to tapout his opponent.

More interesting than Emelianenko's traveling freak show is Filipović, who was arguably Emelianenko's biggest challenge to date, returning to the ring. Fedor's impressive but he needs to fight more real fighters instead of the talentless carnival attractions they keep putting in front of him.

Cro Cop is technically a has-been, he isn't quite the same since his glory days in PRIDE. He should slim down to the light-heavyweight division and fight guys his own size, since he is a pretty small heavyweight. I have always liked him though. His left high kicks are spectacular.

Fedor destroyed Cro cop when they met and have defeated many other great fighters as well.

Notable victories include:

Cro Cop
ex UFC champs: Sylvia, Arlovski, Randleman, Coleman
Matt Lindland
Nogueira

and many others...

He would definitely defeat Lesnar and Couture as well. Only a matter of time before they meet.

carnival attractions
Erm, the entire "sport" is a carnival attraction. That's what it is and that's how it's marketed.

All sports are carnival attractions.

[Keystone]

All sports are carnival attractions.
Some are actual games. Others are come-and-look carny attractions like the above.

There isn't a man on this planet that can beat him.
He lost a Sambo fight a few months ago.

Cro Cop may as well be the only technical fighter on that list, thus a challenge to someone like Emelianenko. Sylvia? C'mon...

Destroyed? Obviously you did not watch the fight. It was pretty clear Fedor won it, but it went to decision.

Azimuth's correct. Fedor has fought nothing but clowns for the past few years. Some of this is not his fault as talented fighters don't really want to fight him, and UFC won't contract a bout with him.

The MMA world's heavyweight divisions are full of non-technical fighters, a bunch of wrestlers for the most part, which makes it difficult to match Emelianenko with worthy opponents. Right now, the only potential challengers I see are Cro Cop, depending on how serious he's taking re-entering the ring, and possibly Cheick Kongo. The rest, like on this list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavyweight_(MMA)), are either too old and/or too unskilled to be real threats. It's too bad guys like St. Pierre, Silva and Machida aren't heavyweights...

[Helios Panoptes]

Speaking of Kongo, I am looking forward to the upcoming fight with Velasquez. The prospect of more Heath Herring didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat. Both have fought no one in my book. I realize that Kongo beat Cro-Cop (and hit him with low blows repeatedly, too), but CC did not fight well. The guy Kongo beat was not the Cro Cop we know as one of the top heavyweights in the world. I'm not looking at Kongo as more than a fairly decent fighter until he puts up some big wins. He has a reputation for not being able to fight on the ground unless he's pounding his opponent out. Has that changed? I have no idea, but if it hasn't he's not a top fighter.

Why should he slim down? He didn't have a problem competing with heavyweights in the past. He merely needs to start fighting better. He may have had difficulty adjusting to the UFC rules as well.

[Warka]

I agree that Kongo would be no match on the ground but he's got a good striking game and is one hell of a big powerful spook. Like I told my wife, he's the kind of dangerous buck nigger you don't risk trying to fight- you just shoot him right off the bat.

As for Cro Cop, I don't know the reason but it's obvious his heart wasn't in a number of his later fights before retiring. Personal problems, UFC rules, whatever, we'll have to see if he's back in the game after taking a break now.

The new wave of heavyweights are simply too big for Crocop. Overeem, Gonzaga, and Kongo absolutely manhandled him on the ground and weighed a lot more than him. His takedown defense isn't where it should be either, especially since his defense is nothing special on the ground.

Good news is that Crocop will be fighting in the UFC soon, on June 13th against some muslim. Hopefully he puts up a highlight reel finish, preferably a left high kick.

Crocop was never in control during that fight and was constantly defending himself against Fedor's unrelenting assault.

Crocop only has his left high kick to rely on and everyone knows his tricks by now. That is why everyone is defending his kicks+ taking him immediately down to the ground.

[Bulan]

this guy would own Fedor easily!

Fedor is The King of Kings, hands down.

Kongo is what...230 lbs.? Not a big heavyweight. Gonzaga is big, but he has never impressed me with his power. Couture is known for getting bullied by powerful heavyweights and Gonzaga did nothing. He fights lighter than his stats would make you think.

He beat Josh Barnett, Aleks. Emelianenko, and Herring. He also defeated Mark Coleman. Coleman is able to fight as a light heavy now, but he used to fight at 245 (possible steroid user) and is known for extreme strength.

I realize that Cro Cop has not been succeeding, but you're grasping at straws with this size/strength issue.

[Helios Panoptes]

Additionally, you should know that how big someone is and how strong he is are two different things. Ed Coan at 198 lbs. is stronger than Ronnie Coleman who's 300+ lbs. of muscle.

No, that's not a fair characterization. Crocop popped Fedor with jabs throughout the entire fight, stunning him several times.

Its true that Crocop's stand-up game is far superior to most mma fighters which is why everyone tries to fight him on the ground. Fighters did not "figure out" that had to take Crocop to the ground, that's how they always fought him.

The Fedor-Crocop fight was the best Fedor fight I have seen. Fedor has completely outclassed nearly every other opponent. That was not true in the Crocop fight.

Yes, Emelianenko's face was busted up pretty good after that fight.

Yeah, ironically they seemed to like each other quite a bit. I thought Fedor would have been intent to cripple him after Crocop knocked his brother out.

Kongo sucks and performed like shit. I correctly predicted Kongo/Velas. and Franklin/Silva, but I wagered on neither (my second prediction was aided by a favorable decision).

Weak card. Who would pay $45 for this?
