Fedor Emelianenko is a wrecking machine.

i've seen him fight three times.

all three times he got the shit kicked out of him (his last three fights).

he may have been an awesome fighter at one time, but those days are clearly behind him.

[grove rat]

^that would be like saying royce gracie is a has-been cause he lost to matt hughes

you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. he could lose the next 5 fights and would still be considered one of the best ever mma fighters

long live the last emperor

He was great in his time, but he's done. Fighters are evolving and he's not.

Fedor was always overrated, he is the product of very carefully chosen opponents.

I've said a million times that if fedor would have told M1global to fuck off, went to the UFC and DROPPED TO LIGHT HEAVY, he would be shitting on the entire division. Jon Jones would have gotten drug down and hammered out. Fedor was stupidly quick for a HW and I feel would have been the only person with the skill (and balls) to basically bum rush JJ and put him on his back.

GTFO here with that logic.

While he's a bad ass fighter I just think he's passed his time. MMA fighters of today are vastly different from those from the past. All of these legends of MMA who aren't adapting to what the sport is becoming or changing how they fight are left in the past.
Either way he's one tough mofo and will be a hall of famer!

i never said the dude sucks, im just saying i caught him at the end of his career and he got beat down X3. that shit happens. look at cro cop, liddell, etc. fighters like any other athlete have that point and when they get past it they're no longer who they once were.

I agree with the first part of your comment for sure. But as for taking out JJ, it would be a matter of luck with a punchers chance. The reason Fedor did so well with his flurries of punches was because of his tremendous hand speed and accuracy.

The key to beating JJ at LHW will be another fighter who has range like himself, or a lucky punch. He is a physical anomaly in his division.

Hence why I overstated the "take him down and pound him out" part... Fedor has (had?) the strength and quickness to get much larger fighters down and square them in the jaw from the guard/half guard. I don't see Jones being much different, I feel Fedor had the ability and best chance I know of to test his light switch from a GNP perspective.

Fedor is one of the most overrated fighters ever. The heavyweight division has been full of garbage until Brock showed up and allistar gained 90 pounds, aside from Randy fighting outside the weight division. Fedor has beat cans, 'professional' wrestlers with no credentials and other bullshit side shows.

Pride was rumored to be fixed similar to pancreas. Let me know who Fedor defeated that was amazing.

Very possibly, unfortunately we will never know. Fedor could have been one of the greatest fighters of all time, but due to his government controlling him we will never really know what Fedor was actually capable of doing. It was fun to watch his career at times, enjoying the mythic legend of Fedor.

Two years ago one of the greatest fight matchups possible would have been Anderson Silva and Fedor at 205lbs. But soon both will retire and we'll never see it. It's doubtful we will ever see Silva tested again as well. Would be great for the sport if he was.
