  • Выхожу на ринг и бьюсь, я - русский.

  • MMA KING WILL BE BACK!

    fedor emelianenko will forever be the best!!!

  • when he pronounced fedor s name fedor laught:)

  • when he pronounced fedor s name fedor laught:)

  • FEDOR MAN! I m Russian!

  • Ufc offered alot more money it was like a 3 million pound contract and he turned it down cos hes scared

  • "When I will be coming into the cage the only thing I'm thinking about I'm thinking about rusher". haha :))

  • Fedor said: " I dont read the garbage that they write in the internet, and if UFC will give a fair contract, i will agree"

    fedor doesnt fight for fame,glory or to show off, he fights for money because it was the best thing he learned to do since he was a child. if UFC will give him more money he will sign without any questions

  • After Brock's loss i think it proves what i have said for a long time.Brock really needs to attend one of Fedor's Seminars and learn a thing or two LOL

  • @ms21k1986 i m fedor :|

  • LOL Ariel Helwani is ridiculous! It cracks me up how he pronounces Fedor in the wierdest fashion. It even makes Fedor smile. Fedor ir Russian not Norwegian! No wonder Fedor doesn't want to join the UFC, if they can't pronounce his name. I like fanhouse but I wish they would replace Mr. Helwani finally...

  • @36elmiho I am russian and Ariel is pronouncing Fedor perfectly. Its Fyo-dor, not Fe-door like most of you pronounce.

  • fedor is a coward he fights washed up veterans how are you considered #1 when you only fight people that are out of the top ten?

  • Translator?! Wtf, is he retarded?

  • @dakr2 no hes russian........from a different country..........where they speak a different language........are u retarted?

  • @jeff9559 I'm from a different country, and I speak English? That means he is too stupid to learn English.

  • " I'm from a different country, and I speak English" yeah thats pretty cool dakr2, but nobody gives a fuck about who you are, you could probably learn 5 more languages and still nobody, fuck it, the entire wouldn't give a fuck about you and your poncy ass multilingual skills.

    Fedor is famous, lives in russia, earned millions, has high self-esteem, why does he need to learn english? doesnt

    And now, as Bricktop would say "Fuck Off"

  • @SFLegacy That doesn't change the fact that he's too retarded to learn English? Way to go, e-hero.

  • @dakr2 mybraination.(com)/wp-content/­uploads/2008/12/yawn.(jpg)

  • @dakr2 XD

  • @dakr2 Do you need to keep asking shit? Because that really makes you sound quite retarded... Hahaha. Reminds me of a great comedy bit by an Australian:" Why do we always speak as we are asking a question? Is it because we are too insecure about ourselves and we are constantly seeking your approval?"

    Not his original words, but it was funny as hell.

  • @ShadowProgs Nice comeback, kid.

  • @dakr2 not everybody is interested in learning your language sir

  • This translator SUCKS!!!

  • Fedor great fighter but he is so used to being payed BIG like in pride his fans in japan brought him huge checks bigger than UFC and strikeforce combined probably lol I suspect fedor is asking too much and UFC will not pay someone that much. Lower your price FEDOR!!!! I WANT YOU TO FIGHT!!!

  • hahaha hes hands shaking

  • He's my role model... hell... he is THE role model...

  • The way she translates his first answer is so bitchy.

    "Well on how much I understand Alistair isn't ready yet."

    "Skolka" means how much. "Na" means on. Key word missing in the translation is the word yet, or what Fedor said "Paka." It means yet, and also is used to say bye.  Not translating shit accurately.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think Fedor is afraid of anyone. Too many fighters depend on their physical ability alone to win a fight. Fedor has more of a mental understanding of how to win a fight. I see a lot of fighters who pump themselves up before a fight and then they have all this adrenaline at the bell but what they don't think about is adrenaline cuts your ability to think straight by about 20%. Fedor will make you think one thing a whole fight and then turn around surprise you and the fight is over.

  • Pencil neck Ariel Helwani.

  • The whole interview is great but the last part is hilarious. The translator manages to fuck it up though.  The question is, (which he didn't receive fully) do you feel you have anything to prove when you enter the ring. His response "No, I don't consider [it this way]" *looks at translator, laughs* "I don't consider it, why? because around me people may think that I need to prove something.

    Me, when I [enter the ring] prove only that I am from Russia. That is all."

  • that woman is a really bad translator, i'm fluent in russian, but i understand how she could mess up b/c of his long responses.

  • fedor = the king of mma

  • I question that womans translating skills

  • Ariel, don't bother with the translator next time, tell her to go away. hand him pieces of paper printed off google translate instead. sure you can't understand his response but you can't follow up on the crap she hands either so....

  • the translator is absolute shit, atrocious shit, booger shit, i don't know how to stress "shit" other than to go up the alphabet and find adjectives that go with shit, FUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

    SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT x 1000 more shit of a translator

    no offense to the translator though, seems like a nice lady

  • wow she's a shit translator

  • with all my respect to fedor as a good example of a good person and athlete...he has a lot to prove these days...all the guys he could beat in the past were killed..not just defeated...but they lost and lost and lost....starting with nogueira crocop..tim sylvia..arlovski...even bret rogers..overeem just made a fool out of him...fedor is a very good fighter...but he has to go through the ufc guys to prove he s the best

  • Fedor is the king of MMA and Frank Mir is a overrated piece of shit.

  • Someone needs to tell Fedor he translations are half assed. He said that he didnt seek out to fight rogers. it was offered to him by strikeforce, so he accepted.

  • Back kick & punch at the same time is THE most lethal attack you can do.True experts use both legs & arms all at once.

  • Holy shit this translator... She doesn't say half the things he says lol....

  • look at how excited and nervous ariel is!!!lol..i dont blame him

  • yay! Ariel pronounces Fedor's name correctly.

  • tania wants a bit of fedor

  • Man I cant stand this translator.. She half asses all his responses and twists shit up so it doesnt actually mean what he meant.. His last phrase was not "Im thinking of russia", but "i have nothing to prove except that im russian and i fight" also he said he didn't go out looking for brett rogers, he was offered to him.

  • Fedor should fight boxing only against gayweather n would still win!

  • yeah he ducks away from ufc-guys. that´s why he destroyed tim sylvia!! i think they forgot about this

  • @eastwoodize tim slyvia was kicked out ufc coz he sucks. ray mercer on his mma debut knocked him out faster than fedro

  • i don't speak russian please explain the translators fail? i like fedor but i don't feel like i know enough about him to really root for him

  • What do you need to know? In his spare time he likes to read, listen to music and draw. He is iconic enough in Russia he carried the olympic torch in St Petersburg (2008). Married twice, a daughter with each wife. Graduated with honors from a trade school and served in the Russian Army after high school. I could go on but read wiki yourself.

    How much do you need to know about a fighter before you back them? Should he go on TUF so you can watch him drop on upper decker on big country?

  • федя лучший!!!

  • fedor should head butt the both of them

  • omfg! that has to be the worst translator in history she makes fedor sound so stupid ;(

  • FEDYA!!!!!

  • This is probably the most gracious champion in all martial arts.

  • @digiblood thats cuz hes a lil girl inside

  • @digiblood uhm there is no champion in this video. sorry to inform you but having a fake belt made for you because you won't fight the brands real champion does not make you a champion. the only promotions in which fedor was champion do not exist anymore. gracious? yes, champion? not at all.

  • @forbesfoofighters I don't think you need a belt to be a champion ...

  • @HORUStheBRAIN to be the champion of the world yes you need that gold, to do that he will have to step up and take a risk something i feel he has not done in a few years and fight the hyper dutch cyclone.

  • @digiblood Fanboyism sucks....

  • The KING

  • good questions ariel as always....great interviews..keep them coming!

  • Fedors not ducking the UFC. He just didnt need to go there. All Fedor did was think of beating Brock Lesnar and now hes sitting in the hospital. Why do you think Dana and Lesnar are being so secretive about whats wrong? They are afraid to admit that Brock was no match for Fedor even when he wasnt in the same country.

  • thats a very ignorant and naive way of thinking

  • I bet the iron sheik can beat fedor in 30 seconds!

    and so can ted dibiase!

  • I don't know, I think Fedor would find a reversal for the Camel Clutch somehow.

  • when the sheik started wrestling, fedor was not even a spermazoid!

    the iron sheik is the father and mother of modern wrestling! fedor is just another child!

  • FEDOR>cancer, hes the best and would of fuckd rogers in the first round if there wasnt blood and sweat all over his hands from his pre-fight broken nose that rogers landed the luckiest punch of his life,

  • Too bad Baldness > Fedor

  • FEDOR RULED AGAIN!!!

    ...as usual.

    HE`S THE BEST EVER, BRING ALL THOSE UFC-TURDS, HE`LL KICK THEIR ASSES AS WELL!!!

    He would teach Lesnar such a lesson, it`s not even funny...

  • @evexxxxx .....i was just wondering where all the idiots who said rogers was going to beat THE GREAT ONE ARE???

    LOL....DANA SAID ROGERS WAS GOING TO KO FEDOR!

    ITS FUNNY HOW BEFORE THE FIGHT...SYLVIA, ARLOVSKI, ROGERS....PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WOULD ALL BEAT FEDOR!!!!

    NAHHH, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN....EVER!

  • so true... now they gotta go back to making comments how (insert ufc fighter) would beat Fedor if he wouldnt be "scared" to fight in the UFC.

    FEDOR WOULD KICK ANY UFC FIGHTERS AZZ, especially Lesnars!!!

  • @evexxxxx That is some grade A crazy talk. I'm not sure whether Fedor would beat Brock or not but there's no way he's going to blow him away. Fedor is a very small heavyweight and Brock looks like the child of Zangief and Guile from Street Fighter.

  • @SpectorCorp typical couch potato-opinion... brock is a huge dude so he has to win... remember back in the day when royce gracie ruled the ufc? just one example that being huge isnt enough, you re.tard!!! without skillz you are nothing, and anyone who has a clue about fighting says that Fedor is the best, but idiots like you watch 2 fights and think they got a clue, it`s quite pathetic...

  • @evexxxxx you act as UFC is wack lol if you have a some deep hate for a company then i think that a personal problem. Fedor should have been UFC but fedor has shitty managers. Fedor fought for pride which UFC bought you fucking retard. Kid stay away from MMA

  • @ChillMood11 lol, why would i hate a company? the only ret.ard here is you, thats all i can say to your ridiculous reply...

  • @evexxxxx Fanboyism sucks...

  • I don't thing I need to prove anything. May be people around think I need to prove something. The only thing that I proove is that I am from Russia. When I go into the ring I come to fight (here I am), I am Russian.

    I think he is saying that with a bit of a Rocky mentality. Sort of he is trying to show that Russian fighters are good, that's all. He isn't trying to show how good he personally is.

  • @VasiaLenin именно так

  • That M1 attorney/translator was a big suck, but Tanya sucks even more... Can't they get somebody MMA related to translate? I bet Arlovski would do better. Hahaha.......

  • That translator is an amateur, poor translation from Fedors sentences in russian to english by that Tanya, I could translate into russian and oposite much better :p

    What he said in the end was actually:

    "When I'm coming in to the ring/cage I dont feel like I have to proof anything, because for me its just fighting, that is what I do. Because I'm russian. I'm doing it for myself"

  • I understood his last sentences as: I'm not trying/going to prove anything when I come in the ring, which means that I'm russian (meaning - I just do what I'm there for - doing my job - fighting to win).

  • Ye, he pronounced his name correctly.

  • All you retards laughing at how this kid pronounces Fedor's name... so funny. You guys don't have a fuckin clue. And yet you claim to be Fedor fans.

    This kid says Fedor's name correctly. Fedor looks at him because I'm sure he is surprised to hear his name pronounced correctly after being called FAYDOR by everyone in America.

    It's not Fay-Dor.. it's Fyeh-dor.

  • Here's another video of the interviewer saying his name correctly: /watch?v=tyXfTFjPF2w

    Although the guy in that video struggles to say it (probably after saying Fay-dor for years)

  • 0:06 Lol Fedor was surprised that an someone from the west finnaly pronounced his name right !

  • did you all see how fedor looked at him when he pronounced his name in the beginning..like wtf thats not how you say it..lol

  • Actually I think he was surprised because someone actually pronounced it correctly for once

  • Comment removed

  • that's how his name should be pronounced correctly FYODOR.

    not feidor. just listen to how russian lady pronounces his name.

  • translator didn't translate all what he said

  • or just fe dor i dont know

    fuck you niggers

  • why does he pronounce it fee yo dor

    isnt it fei dor

  • They will have the fight over on WatchMMAFree. com

  • lol "feyodur"

  • You need to have love for the language when you speak it, not just chew a gum, while giving direct translations and showing that you feel like you are the hub of the Universe. Sorry, but that's just the way it was.

    Федя, гордимся тобой!

  • The previous interpreter was, on the other hand, a very, very good russian ->english speaker, and I understand why english speaking listeners though he was very good. Yes, his american was just natural. His russian, however, was a disappointment.

  • She is a very good english-> russian interpreter, although a bit less efficient when it comes to russian -> english. That's just the way it is - you're better when you interpret into your mother tongue, even when you know the source language very well. This is one of the reasons why interpreters work in pairs - they speak to recepients in their mother tongues.

  • Yeah this translator is better for sure, but she is still missing some information. Fedia, mi s toboi bratan !!!! Spasibo tebe bolshoe, gordimsia toboi !!!! good luck

  • he want fedor to fight 2-1 lesnar hahahahahaha at that time. screw them newbies they dont know shit at all. they never learn and never want to learn. sometimes when they talk its like a totally new subject

  • The translator is real crap. 50% of the information was lost in translation :-(

  • Say what was lost you idiot.

  • Buy some brain and discover it yourself, you intellectual smartass :-)

  • Dont post shit without the facts bitch.

  • get lost, brain!

  • get found dipshit.

  • yea ok he hasnt fought or known fighters lately but 90 wins thats a hell of alot of people to fight all fights arent going to be top class fighters and thats has been proven by fedors last apponents that were no longer ranked high

  • lol fedors last fight he koed the rank 2 heavyweight

  • who arloski n tim silva lol not highly ranked heavy weights there were on mayjor loosing streaks prior to that fight and hav eyou seen tim silva lately lol he has gained like 50-60 pounds out of shape lol hardly ranked i think

  • Did u even read my comment... I said his last fight... i never mentioned Tim Sylvia, when fedor fought arlovski, yes there is a v in arlovski, arlovski was on a 5 fight win streak. and sylvia won his last fight before he fought fedor..... why do u even watch mma?

  • You're wrong mma850. As a matter of fact , When Arlovski left the ufc (at the time) he was on a winning streak. He defeated Cruz & Werdum , THEN left the ufc. (in other words , NOT because ofa loss) then continued his winning streak by defeating O'brien , Rothwell , Nelson , In other words a total of 5 opponents , then he fought against Fedor and lost. Keep in mind he was actually ranked # 2 HW at the time. And trained by Freddy Roach no less. You have a point on Sylvia though.

  • ummm yo newbies. arlovski was 2 and tim was 4 in the WORLD ok? NOT ufc rank. u dont know what ur talking about. its all base on fact. the fact is 4-1 champ is the biggest disgrace ever.

  • Feodor you should keep this lady as translator she is much better than that tall guy.

    That tall guy doesn't do good he miss alot of thigs you saying.

    I do not speak english very well but I anderstood he is no good translator

  • journalist looks kinda scared to ask questions

  • Severns opponents arnt as tough as Fedor's though, Severn hasnt found anyone in the top 10

  • shit, severn was only good for his grappling game and strength, and the opponents, not even close to what fedor has beat. every opponent that fedor has fought equals like 10-20 of severns fights lol. i hate when people think travis fulton is a amazing fighter... nope hes a fighter that just likes to fight ;p

  • thanks god i anderstend russian, cause she sucked at translating

  • agree!

  • lol at him nodding

  • This fat bitch SUCKS ASS at her job Fedor should armbar her fat ass.

  • Better translation at the end:

    "The only thing that I prove when I come out is that I'm from Russia." :)

  • Ariel, you fucking jew.

  • can he sweat anymore???

  • Brett Rogers does have a heavy punch and looks very strong but that is not gonna help him match or exceed Fedor's experience and much superioir technique. There is no area of MMA where Roger's surpasses Fedor except for maybe brute force or punching power. Fedor will win via 2nd round TKO due to ground and pound.

  • 3:45 Fedor says that when he steps into the ring he is only proving that he is from Russia.

    The translator kinda missed that...

  • actually he meant that as a fighter he fights for Russia, it was the answer to a stupid question "what do you prove by stepping in the ring vs brett".

  • look at it this way if u ran the ufc would u want to share a promotion 4 one fighter not worth it but i hope 2 see it

  • half? jesus where did u hear that

  • Man, you can see all the 'ducking the UFC' shit is weighing heavy on him. I honestly believe he would fight in the UFC tomorrow if they 'came to the party' with a shared promotion with M1 Global. As unpallatable to the UFC as that is, you'd think there would be some promotional benefits without a cheapening of the UFC brand? Besides, it would be awesome to see Fedor v Lesnar... Maybe after he trashes Mir first.

  • I really wanna see Fedor unleash on Lesnar... Oh man that would be AWESOME!

  • Fedor speaks English??

  • yes. thank you, thank you very much.

  • puts8346,

    i was born in gomel, belarus

  • whats with fedors insane patriotism,

  • absolutely retarded... Fedor in UFC would be fukin unbelievable, everybody wants to see him fight,

  • dont speak for everybody...because the hardcore fans from the pride days ( alot of them ) hate the UFC as an organization thats is.

  • Правильно,он РУССКИЙ,он знает своё дело!!!!!!

  • thinking about thrusher? wtf?

  • Yep, its difficult to the russian language.

  • It's almost hard to believe that russian is actualy a language.

  • Ah no, that means you're stupid....

  • this bitch doesn't translate correctly what fedor says. He is asking his fans to understand that UFC doesn't offer good contract to him,and information what dana white express on media is wrong about perfect contract.

  • Lately, he got religious too. Even the Russian orthodox father is traveling with him. I just hope those "religious" people won't take advantage of him, if you know what I mean.

  • butt sex?

  • No, but they might fuck his brains:)

  • well hes already very religious, i think lot of fighters are. wierd. you would think peole whose job is to hurt other people wouldnt care about god

  • wiat what did the bitch say in the end "the only thing im thinking about is thrusher???

  • She is not a bad translator, not the best, but not the bad one either. Fedor said that "The only thing that I'm proving that I'm from Russia"

  • oooo okkkkkk, well that still doesnt make sense, we already know hes from russia

  • Well, what he really meant that he is fighting for his "Mother Land" and that is important for him.

  • I love Fedor. He's such a class act and is by all accounts a wonderful human being. If you watch closely at 2:04, you can see him barely crack a smile when the interpreter translates the part about him ducking UFC fighters. He could have gave a harsh response like alot of fighters would but he didn't. No trash talking, always humble, always soft spoken, always a class act. I'll always be a fan of his no matter what happens. God bless Fedor Emelianenko!

  • i speak the language among others, and the translation was shit as usual. he said "i dont pay attention to the garbage on the internet" and that what is written on the net regarding ufc's offer to him does not mean reality (generously exaggerated)

    about rogers, he said he didn't pick the opponent out, strikeforce suggested him and he agreed, saying he has good speed & knockout power.

  • I don't think we can assess how all the post-Affliction/Fedor saga will lie until after the CBS fight. Things will be way up in the air if he loses or puts on a poor show. If he wins convincingly and with fireworks and Strikeforce market him as the mysterious Russian then it might capture some people's immagination. They'll always be questions about whether Fedor could stand up to Lesnar/UFC opposition. When Pride was at its peak no one imagined Fedor headling free on US network television.

  • some good questions, especially the one regarding "ducking fighters"

  • Helwani is the biggest douchebag covering mma.

  • amen!

  • GOOD OFFER?

    50% for each event, BS. you greedy fuck, what about the other 19 fighters per UFC event what should they live on? jesus christ is fedor greedy or what.

  • jesus christ why is that billionaire dana white is still thinking about getting rich?

  • NICE ONE ! mr3ggroll

  • The reason Diana White the billionaire is still thinking about making money is cos he is a cock sucking ass raping mother fucking cum munching pillow biting stingy fuckin creep AND him and others like him only re-inforce the mean Jew stereotype...

  • don't think only at the money when you say a offer is good or bad. there ar other things that come with... and yeah.. 50% (your inside info) is a good deal of money but what about the rest of the contract? i think fedor is a very clever man !

  • It was a bad offer not because of money, but because they wanted to forbid him to fight in any other formula (Including Sambo tournaments).

  • DW said he could do Sambo everyday, so no that wasnt the reason. However, he admitted that his first talk didnt not let him do sambo, but his latest deal he could do sambo whenever he wanted.

  • anything what dw says is just bullshit, the she-male? sucks like hell.

  • i believe you are wrong on that one. from what i have read the only reason fedor is not in the ufc is because he is under contract with M-1 global and M-1 insisted on co-promoting events witht he UFC. dana white refused this so M-1 said no. as for forbidding him to compete in sambo tournaments i believe dana actually caved on that in the most recent deal he tried to make.

  • This event is going to put MMA on the mainstream map right away. After this card is the most watched CBS sports event of all time. This is really good for the sport, invest today, get paid November 2nd.

  • yea but now everyone is going to like fedor and think they are his number one fan when they dont know shit bout him or his life

  • did you guys notice that fedor smiled as soon as the geek pronounced his name.he was probably thinking,no he didnt just pronounce my name like that againg. i would punch you in the troat until you say it right geek. come on give me that nose ill make it normal for ya woodpecker you. lol
