Fedor Emelianenko VS Satoshi Ishii Fight Review

[bubudala]

When will be this fight

[robbbinhoodx]

you fucking suck at commentationg and you are very inexperienced and not knowledgable about fighting what so ever

[jddii]

some ppl actuly think fedor was winning in the fight with hendo O.o ???

[bobiskaslobodan]

You never see fighter like Fedor dominant like him Fedor keep goin you do fine!!!Fedor is in top 5 now!!!!In Werdum fight rush Silva fight rus nendo rush.....now he is smart not rush but won fight!!!!!

[Kunggi1]

Also Fedor won Nogueira only in 3rd round twice. Winner could be eather of those 2 really. Just because Fedor got slightly better scores and beat only 1 decent opponent doesn't mean he is somekind god like most people think.

[Kunggi1]

I agree that Fedor should fought in lower weight class, because compared heavyweight ufc fighters he never was anything special thanks to his sucky managment team. Fedor himself is good guy who will fight anyone but managment wants to have amazing stats so 90% of his opponents are nobodys.

[Kunggi1]

Only good thing Fedor ever did was getting world championship twice from Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and he defended title twice against Filipović and Mark Hunt. Rest of his opponents are nothing. Mark Hunt was nobody, Filipović never won anything special. Basicly Nogueira was only big guy he has ever won. Do you hype because he won Nogueira or because he has crazy stats beating nobodys?

[pcjudosambo]

@Kunggi1 When Fedor fought Nog for the first time, Nog was p4p ranked #1, when he beat Nog and fought him again, Nog was ranked #3 hw in the world. When Fedor fought CroCop, he (CroCop) was ranked #6 in the world. When Fedor fought Ogawa, Coleman, Hunt, Sammy S. Herring, all ranked top 10 hw's in Pride HW division. Then Fedor fought world top 10 hw's Arlovski (who was on a 5x winning streak), Sylvia (ranked top 10hw at the time). So it's not like Fedor was fighting cans.

[Kunggi1]

@pcjudosambo Yea but compare his statics against brock example. Brock had 8 matches and he was against Hw1,Hw1,Hw2,Hw2,Hw3. Fedor 37 matches Hw1, Hw3 and only 5-6 opponents maybe somewhere in hw5-10top list. I just would respect fedor more if he went to ufc to prove his worth like Nogueira and Alistair. He had allmost 30 fights not worth to mention. I also think fighters at 2012 are lot better than they were 2000 so I just don't like saying that Fedor is all time best prime fighter

[pcjudosambo]

@Kunggi1 Brock only fought against top heavyweights of UFC not the world. Couture was way out of his prime. When Brock fought Mir he was not top 10 hw, Herring not top 10 HW so on ... He did fight 3 top HW's (Carwin, Overeem and Cain) and lost to 2 of them. Brock never beat a p4p #1 fighter in the world .. Fedor did (2 times). Brock never went 10 years w/o losing, Fedor did. Comparing Brock and Fedor is like comparing a black belt and a blue belt.... one is on another level, that's all.

[Kunggi1]

@pcjudosambo Well Nogueira lost frank mir twice and got ko:d from cain. You could say that noguera was out of prime but it's only 4 years before fedor loss and during those 4 years he actually won 7 lost 1 match before meeting frank mir having ufc title himself. Also Frank Mir got loss from both Carwin and Brock. Fedor was 10yr without losing but only tough guy he won was noguera and only in 3rd round with points. Also these new top3 hw fighters are better than brock+fedor together.

[pcjudosambo]

@Kunggi1 Nog is way out of prime. Fedor is out of prime as well. These guys went through battles back in Pride. Their bodies cannot take it. Fedor + Nog have more battles on their records than Brock, Mir, Cain & JDS combine. When Mir won over Nog, it's not the same nog, everyone knows that. Fedor beat over 10-15 top 10 hw's when he was in Pride/Affliction, how can you sit there and claim he never beat anyone tough? Nog, CroCop, Fujita, Sammy S. Arlovski (when he was a top 10 hw)... etc

[Kunggi1]

@pcjudosambo So when nog lost to fedor he was in prime but after 4 years when he lost to mir he was suddenly out of prime? (during those 4 years he won 7 lost 1). Many battles is bad excuse as Overeem got 48 matches so far and he is hw2. 2 years after crocop lost to fedor he lost 2 first matches in ufc debut including Kongo.Fujita lost twice to Filipović and didn't won anyone special same for semmy. Arlovski lost 3 games after Fedor and lost twice to that fat Tim Sylvia.

[pcjudosambo]

@Kunggi1 Semmy was considered one of the elite strikers in mma, next to crocop and Fedor demolished him. 4 years in MMA is a lifetime. You sound like you never trained, especially even fought, thus you have no idea on how much toll is taken on a body from training and fighting. I've done that, I know. Overeem is 31, Fedor & Nog are 35/36, which is OUT OF PRIME age. That's MMA 101. Are there exceptions, sure but 95% are out of prime by 35. Learn the MMA game!

[Kunggi1]

@pcjudosambo Ok look. Some people think bruce lee is best fighter of all time because he was first guy to do some shitty kungfu movies. In reality he would get owned in real fight so badly. Some people think Fedor is best because he fought 7-8 decent fighters (2 in top3only) and 30 fighter nobody ever heard off. Oh look Fedor won some japanese giant who doesn't know how to fight "amazing". He would get owned by guys like santos,cain,carvin,brock,mir and overeem even in his prime.

[Kunggi1]

@pcjudosambo Want to know why Fedors team didn't go for ufc? Wanna know why majority of his fights are against nobodys? Because they were cowards. Don't give me contract excuses. Crocop, Noguera, Overeem all went to ufc to test their skills because they wanted to fight best.

[pcjudosambo]

@Kunggi1 Typical keyboard warrior mentality. Before you can comment on MMA, practice MMA, fight MMA and then comment in MMA.

[ivoandsumi]

the jap sucked fedor should get his confedence back change camps and fight top fighters again in the heavy or lighheavy weight

[cocotiger77]

@ivoandsumi I think he should go down to light heavyweight; shoot he theoretically should be able to cut to middleweight. Imagine how dominate Fedor would have been, in his prime and out, if he only fought guys his size - keep in mind Fedor is only 5'11 and Anderson Silva (a middle weight) is roughly 6 foot..... Its kind of frustrating because he had / has great opportunity but because he refuses to cut he suffers.

[ivoandsumi]

@cocotiger77 yea but he woud loose strenght and the other guys would be faster than him but still he is too small to be a heavyweight right now

[sins4givenmain]

if FEDOR fights how hes been fighting n rematches everyone he lost to im sure he would win,if he fought fabricio werdum again he would not go to the ground,if he fought dan hendo he would win just in the stand up as well on the ground.bigfoot would get knocked out...we are seen a differant cautious FEDOR folks,I PERSONALY feel if he switched camps n came to the usa,n got a great camp,with the state of the art equipment that is being used it would be game over to all of people.

[ADZ01982]

@sins4givenmain Basically you have made a excuse for every single loss Fedor has had. Pretty sure Russia has has equal training facilities to USA. Perhaps he should train in Brazil.

[sins4givenmain]

@ADZ01982 no even gegard mousasi said here in the usa they have advanced equipment,fedor does that old school training,thats good but if he used that equipment that they did it will on.....no excuses he lost but if fought them again he would win.

[ADZ01982]

@sins4givenmain I disagree. Can you name some of this "equipment" that the USA only uses ?

[sins4givenmain]

FEDOR did not duck overeem...i like overeem but overeem seem like he was hiding in japan from brett rogers saying he was hurt but was still fighting...then fedor beats rogers then overeem comes back,to fight the loser then fedor loses to werdum,then overeem talks crap,overeem even ducked antonio silva!! FEDOR in the first round had dan henderson,he had him and did one mistake and paid for it!shogun went through a war with dan back n forth 5rds fedor had it in the first.

[huggy68]

If randy couture isn't under contract with the ufc(even if retired ufc could still own fighting rights 2 him like they do with brock) i think he would def take a fight with fedor in the US. If M1 Global and Dream/One FC did a copromotion event they could bring one hell of a card 2 America and should be able 2 sell out a major arena most likely in vegas.

[huggy68]

I hope the UFC picks him up but makes him fight at 205 or lighter i personally think that fedor should fight 185.Fedor fights natural around 230 with excess fat on him(dont get me wronge fedor is in great shape could be much better shape especially if he did the dolce diet).

[ericunder29]

fedor fighting in japan? actually wins? yh thats not fixed....

[Herofromspace]

It's also very nice for you to understand, that Fedor needs to regain self confidence, that he needs wins over somebody.

And It is even better if those opponents would not be of a top level, because Fedor will not get too twitchy, to nevrous about these fights and can get himself in a certain right mindset and may try somethiing new for him.

That is what killed Crocop - he lost a fight, lost his self confidence and didn't have a chance to regain it.

[Herofromspace]

Yea, Fedor was really patient and focused, he reminded me Alistar at Alistar vs Brock.

Ishii may not be very good standing, but as a very good judo practitioner, he suppose to be very dangerous on the ground (which also reminds me Brock, a smaller, but more skilled version of him).

[fishskulls76]

Great to see Fedor win again and also changing his tactics. I think he could do well in the ufc if he fights like his last two fights. Surely he has to go there or he'll soon run out of worthy opponents. 

[nyran125]

but he must of learnt heaps from thos US losses.

[nyran125]

Dan henderson loss would of been a huge loss.

[nyran125]

@nyran125 but he must of learnt heaps.

[nyran125]

man Fedor get our arse in the UFC ffs!!!

[dionusos2]

His takedown defense was great because he was fighting a LWH. Bigfoot Silva is a LHW. You're naive to think this fight is anything more than a freebie

[thestenly]

Its hard to me as this fighter has not been competing against top level guys which I dont understand.. Why did he choose not to fight in  the ufc and then avoided Alistair Overeem in strikeforce. I just dont understand this fighter at all.

[steeler43013]

in his fights in strikeforce he lost bc of his haste to end the fight he dropped henderson went in for the kill but didnt wizzer when dan got to dog fight position and got koed for it against fabricio he got careless again got triangled/armbared bc of it and against silva he was to small he was able to beat other big guys on the ground bc they didnt have as good jiu jitsu as silva he needs to be a light heavy weight or even middle weight

[Ezol1]

Smart walkthrough and a great watch as always!

I've been thinking about Fedors career alot and from this victory Fedor just needs to get into the UFC. He can't fight in Strikeforce (no HW:s left in the future). Bellator, Dreams HWs just won't be good enough for him

Outside of the UFC Arlovski, Sylvia or anyone good who won't sign with UFC.

Their pretty much MMA when it comes to top competition for any HW right now.

Fedor seems to be in motivated, patient, smart, strong right now.

It's time.

[333333ahmed]

this guy should be commentating at MMA events cause he can analyze fights better than anybody i have seen. MMA fans and reporters are just a repeaters of what dana white say, great points i never though of it this way, another point i want to make is that the other fighters fedor faced or not are chemicals henderson testrone therapy mir,reem adding 40 pound of muscles in couple years, Big foot busted, carwin fedor has another disadvantage beside weight class, thanks for the great video

[TH3T1T4N]

i personally think fedors career has been mostly against cans granted he has beat a few good fighters ..(i know there will be somebody butt hurt about this and call me some lame ass name ) it just seems to me that he has been given easy competition for a huge part of his career this is just my opinion

[jin37uk]

@TH3T1T4N I agree with you. No doubt people will start swearing at you, but you speak the complete truth.

[TH3T1T4N]

@jin37uk i give fedor credit for his victories over say mirko randelman nog coleman and a couple others im prolly forgetting but lets be honest if that guy had been in the ufc since 2005 or so he have a way worse record point was proven in strikeforce

[meatkingsparty]

@TH3T1T4N Name one mma fighter that has 30+ wins against top 10 competition no such thing. every fighter faces lesser opponents in certain times of their career, no reason to point fingers at Fedor Emelianenko.

[TH3T1T4N]

@meatkingsparty im not saying he doesnt have good wins buut a massive part of his record was against a bunch of satoshi ishii's and sorry its just not impressive to me

[dhood619]

Pride fans, dnt wanna except the fact that fedors not good anymore, he never really was that good anyway he never fought top guys ever in his career ever really

[meatkingsparty]

@dhood619 you make it sound like fans made this whole thing up. that's not the case, Fedor is the most highly regarded mma fighter among other professional fighters and trainers alike...those that had the privilege to face him considered it the most important prestigious event in their careers.

[dhood619]

@meatkingsparty nobody elses is calling him the best p4p fighter except for the old pride fans. every p4p list you can look at fedors not even on their so idk how fedor cud be the most highly regarded fighter like u said

[meatkingsparty]

@dhood619 i'm not talking about p4p rankings, now you are putting words in my mouth. Fedor is considered the best heavyweight of all time - because he was the only dominant undefeated heavyweight for nearly a decade, the only one that escaped defeat against the odds, never slipped up, unlike every other fighter in the sport. now he is in a decline, but that does not change what he has achieved.

[dhood619]

@meatkingsparty i still dont understand how you could considerd fedor the greatest heavyweight of all time when he clearly wasnt fighting top competiton his hole career he was ducking and dodging, and hes not even on a p4p list so how could you consider him the best? i mean ok he was undefeated for 10 years but he was fighting nobodies anybody good could be undefeated for a decade fighting nobodies

[meatkingsparty]

@dhood619 yes you have a point, but like i said earlier everyone fights lesser competition. Fedor is no exception and no fighter will ever have a 30+ record against top 10 opponents...the heavyweight field just isn't deep enough. note that ten years is a long time in this sport - the standard for elite fighters were different. i don't know what it is you don't understand but i find it very ignorant and disrespectful to write off so many fighters as nobodies.

[dhood619]

@meatkingsparty the reason why i consider the fighters fedor was fighting nobodies is because none of them have really made a name for themselfs. i mean whats a real big name out of the guys fedor was fighting? cro crop and nogueira. other then that if you really look at his competition, the fighters werent that good. nd i honestly dont see how you could say a fighter like fedor is the greatest when the sport keeps evolving maybe he was one of the best back 10 years ago but not now its changed

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

I didn't like that Ishii was able to hit him. I didn't like that he's getting his kicks caught.

[galion884]

last 2 fights fedor looked pretty good.hope he will train more and gain more muscle!

hope to see him against top 20 next !

last 2 fights i consider as top 30 fighters !!!

good review

[imanuel2012]

@galion884 are you mentally retarded?

[galion884]

@imanuel2012

you stuiped ass backet

[RGwhelan15]

@galion884 really you said fedor looked good in his last fights... and stoping take downs from judo isnt that amazing when you know grapple. On top of everything the guy he knocked out was 4-1-1 and now is 4-2-1. for fedor the be fighting people like this is just sad. Fedor should just retire if he gets fights like this. Every one wants to see him fight but not people that have no threat to him. It really makes me sick the fights Fedor as been getting. As a fan of fedor its just sad to see.

[TheGrizzzle]

Hey man Can you make a Junior dos santos Vs Overeem prediction Video??

[thebole123]

FEDOR N1 ...

[auron2214]

Fedor sucks.

[xkillaz18x]

Nice to see Fedor going back to his speed an accuracy. Not sure if will ever see him in the ufc, but it'd be nice.

[jin37uk]

Lets be honest, the only reason Fedor looked 'patient or methodical' is because he was fighting somebody who couldnt strike. If he tried being patient against JDS, JDS would take his head off. This win wasnt impressive at all. M1 is hoping that they can put Fedor against crap opponents, and then when he beats them people will think Fedor is an excellent fighter again. Truth is, he isn't. Lets be REALISTIC, he couldn't even compete in the "B league" that was Strikeforce. Ishii is not even top 30.

[mrmaybe]

@jin37uk He wouldn't take his head off. JDS is a counter striker with a patient approach. If you knew anything about mma, you wouldn't be saying that.

[jin37uk]

@mrmaybe Just because JDS is a counter striker it doesn't mean he can't take somebody's head off, just look at some of his recent fights. A better example is Alistair Overeem. He gave Fedor chance after chance to fight him, called him out a billion times (in a politeful and respectful manner).. and what does Fedor do? Completely ignore it, because he knows Overeem would have destroyed him. Instead he decides to fight far lower competition. He doesn't deserve any respect for his cowardly approach

[mrmaybe]

@jin37uk No, it means that he is less likely to do so because in order for it to happen, they would have to be exchanging, which there wont be a lot of due to their styles. JDS hasn't fought a single good striker with credentials of Overeem or anyone even close. You are assuming way too much. As for Fedor, that comment is totally out of left field. His management makes the fights, not him. Stop assuming things, once again.

[realfreakaynaughtay]

@jin37uk Werdum, Hendo, and Bigfoot are not B league fighters, though. They did and have torn up the UFC.

[jin37uk]

@realfreakaynaughtay Well ,Werdum is B league since he got cut from the UFC, and spent most of his last fight sitting on the floor begging Overeem to join him. Bigfoot is B league because he gasses after 2 mintues and got KO'd by crappy Cormier. Whilst Hendo isnt B league, he's a middlweight who cuts nothing to make 205... a good heavyweight should dispatch of him easily (can you imagine Overeem vs Hendo? murder). Monson and Ishii are C league, Fedor is too cowardly to fight anyone decent again.

[chadley6916]

@jin37uk

welcome to mma, its clearly something new to you!

[realfreakaynaughtay]

@jin37uk You're clearly either a troll or just a Zuffa zombie. You probably thought Overeem would get crushed by Brock too, huh?

[jin37uk]

@realfreakaynaughtay No, I knew Overeem would defeat Brock, although I was expecting second round rather than first. To be fair, at least Brock had the guts to take on Overeem. Fedor dodged, ducked and avoided Overeem in every way possible, because he knew Overeem would have fucked him up bad. And no, I'm not a 'Zuffa Zombie', I just call it as it is. Fedor has built a career on beating rubbish opponents. As soon as he faced decent competition, he got his ass WHOOPED, so he fights cans again

[realfreakaynaughtay]

@jin37uk Cans like UFC champions - Nogueira, Arlovski, Sylvia in their primes? You call it as a dumbass. It's always easy discrediting fighter's resumes years afterward. You could do the same to Silva, GSP, etc. You are probably new to MMA and never even watched PRIDE.

[TheSweatyfatguy]

@jin37uk he DID duck overeem the last couple years, but he DID NOT fight rubbish opponents. go back to playing Undsputed my friend you obviously didnt watch pride fighting LOL

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

@jin37uk JDS didn't look good sparring that boxer, Fedor did very well against a superior and larger boxer than JDS faced (Dennis Lebedev, knocked out RJJ) if you ever saw the ring spar with Fedor against Lebedev (there's a playground one) he landed good solid shots in the first round, though did more averagely in the second.  But he performed better than JDS in pure boxing against a superior opponent. His kryptonite is wrestlers, and with one gone (Brock) he could do great in the UFC!

[pcjudosambo]

Fedor sucks this, Fedor sucks that... all I read from the comments below ... typical keyboard warriors & Zuffa Zombies. I guess it's ok for a non-World Class wrestler (Brock) with 3 pro fights to be given a title shot against a 45 year old legend? But it's not ok for an Olympic & World Class grappler (Ishii) who has more MMA experience than Brock to fight another legend. MMA community sucks and all of you keyboard warriors that never even stepped inside of a ring/cage/mat make me sick.

[jin37uk]

Guys, lets talk about these cans

[TenTonHorse]

Apparently, he's trying for a re-match with Werdum, and Josh Barnett has been mentioned as a future opponent. If he faces and defeats those two guys, then that re-establishes him as a big name.

[1strikekiller]

Fedor is going to win all those fight in japan and he can't beat nobody in america he lost to fighter that wearnt ever ufc champions come you are smarter than that worldtravlerman??

[Digressor666]

@1strikekiller Your spelling and grammar are worse than the people that Fedor is fighting. That's how bad it is.

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

@1strikekiller You seem quite young, but nevermind... Fedor fights cans only on NYE... He fought HMC, Zuluzinho, Ishii and Nagata all on NYE. They aren't meant to be serious fights they are for entertainment only. He has over 30 fights overall, he should be allowed to do the NYE can fights, they're great fun to watch.

Besides Werdum has 0.5% chance of winning in a rematch, Henderson would lose the rematch too. Only BF Silva is (maybe) the favourite to beat him in a rematch.

[1strikekiller]

Go back to japan fedor america is to hard for you go fight weak small fighters that's the only way you will win fedor the bum I always said he will get killed in ufc and strikforce proved that he sucks even more

[GLDStation]

i like this video

[vaju79]

i would like to see Fedor in the UFC, doing some fights against some of the good heavyweights fighters.

[1608Nikolai]

lets be honest, this fight was a waste of time.

[HULKMANEC]

ishii is one of the worst fighters ever,dont get me wrong but i can beat ishii with got preparation,fedor need to retire or go to ufc,thats all

[4iamu]

Unlike the last fight he had against Munson, Fedor did look good against Ishii. Although Ishii is a world-class judo fighter, by no means is he a world-class striker, or even a top-tier mma fighter at this stage in his career. I would love to see Fedor fight Rua or even Machida. They say styles make fights. Unfortunately, with all of the distrust and bitterness between M1-Global and Zuffa, we will never find out if Fedor still has what it takes to fair in the UFC against some top LHWs. Shame!

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

@4iamu Munson?... It's Monson! Don't listen to the idiot commentator in that fight who called Jeff "Munson" and Fedor "Fader Emelenko"...

[4iamu]

@SpyWhoLovedHimself Munson, Monson, Monsoon, Monster,.... whatever?!!LOL The guy is a washed up bum and is irrelevant at this stage of his career.

[Thome90]

fedor fighting cans again...oh well....

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

@Thome90 On NYE, it's a tradition, he has over 30 fights, let him crush cans on NYE we all love to watch it.

[MoMoShiftin]

great takedown defence.

[bebIessed]

guys lets talk about this fight

[longslidenyc]

How was Ishii's striking game though? I'm not impressed with a knock-out over a guy who's only world is Judo. Fedor should defect to the U.S. and get real.

[Hemouth]

YESSSSS

[pulversilva101]

love ur vids & new b/r.. keep it up!!!

[Hugibeer]

you just can't compare ishii and bigfoot, that's just wrong

[GE2A2D]

@Hugibeer yeah ishii is a Olympic gold medal athlete.

[jin37uk]

@GE2A2D which doesn't matter for shit if you can't punch and run away from strikes lol

[GE2A2D]

@jin37uk yeah so he's about as good as brock lesnar
