[bigteltheking]

@999cheetos999 FEDOR AND RUSSIA CAN SUCK MY BALLS

[deckert16]

@bigteltheking If you only had any

[SlavaSvarogu]

@bigteltheking yes we will tell me your adres

[JahnosSardonis]

Well duh (-_-)...

[bigteltheking]

THIS JUST PROVES HOW MUCH OF A JOKE RUSSIA IS. FEDOR'S TOUGHEST FIGHT WAS AGAINST ANTONIA SILVA AND HE LOST. FEODR AND RUSSIA CAN KISS MY ASS.

[999cheetos999]

@bigteltheking FEODR AND RUSSIA CAN KICK YOUR ASS

[MarkLwD21]

@bigteltheking fedor is a very undersized heavyweight dude. silva won like roy nelson laying on top. if fedor would drop weight it would be diffrent

[DeJaNsRbIn333]

Srbija je uz tebe Fedore LEGENDO !!!

[Danieljesus123]

Great Fedor, I am your fan from Brazil.

[AndrewMacedonia]

[R3js]

M-1 Global and STRIKEFORCE announced today a co-promoted event that will be headlined by the worlds No. 1 heavyweight mixed martial artist, Fedor The Last Emperor Emelianenko (31-1). The event will take place on Saturday, June 26 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, and will be broadcast live on SHOWTIME at 10p.m. ET/PT ( delayed on the West Coast) .

Emelianenko will face off against two-time Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and highly touted superstar Fabricio Werdum ( 13-4).

[R3js]

WAMMA Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

Fedor Emelianenko

Do I need to say anything else?

[odin422]

@R3js yeah he got pwned

[R3js]

@odin422

pwned would be a fight with 4-5 rounds and then a TKO. 34 second fadeout isnt :) thats boring.

[64Klark]

Fedor don't prove yourself for Brock and Dona!!!

[steroidsischeating]

i'm not american and UFC is the best company

[Tino13]

Well Deserved ;) Fedor is on of the greats in sporting world...

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

Agree!

[steroidsischeating]

fedors good but would be good to see him fight the best out there tho like brock

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

So Fedor is 31-1 and Brock is 4-1 and Brock is better??

[steroidsischeating]

fedor is better on paper yeah but brock is the champion at the moment so hes the best HW out there right now till someone beats him.

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

Thanks for the reply. Brock represents UFC which is "BRAND/COMPANY" in MMA. Lesnar is the HW Champ in UFC and Fedor was in PRIDE (until they shutdown) and now is in Strikeforce (another MMA Company). So, they are both champs at this time but w/different companies.

[steroidsischeating]

UFC is the biggest company out there tho so that makes the UFC champions the best in the world GSP,ANDERSON,BJ,BROCK there the best out there the ones to beat

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

The truth could vary depending were it comes from. Here in US the Taliban are considered haters, terrorists, etc but over there in Afghanistan I am sure in some villages they are probably heroes. As americans, we can't stand anything if we dont think we are the best at it. UFC is pretty big here in US but we dont know about how bif the UFC is in Europe, Russia, Japan, etc. Yes, we have some great champs but there is land outside our borders and great Champs as well like Fedor Emelianenko.

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow 31-0 doctors misstake

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

Exactly, my bad, lol! Check this out, when Fedor fought him they were in Japan and Fedor eye wasnt that bad. When they had their rematch it was also in Japan and Fedor was beating him badly and they took their glorious time to stop the dam fight waiting for a miracle to happen. Well, the miracle never showed up and their guy almost got killed (literally speaking).

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow dont listen to the ufc fans fedor is far away the best fighter in the world.

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

I agree with u on that. For some reason many of my fellow americans arent happy if they dont believe they are the best at everything. My people hates reality and competition. Fedor is THE BEST!

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow yes and after fedor gegard moussashi

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

@hangsteiger I have seen this Armenian kid fighting and he is pretty good. Definitively that fighting (practicing) with Fedor has done good things for the kid.

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow yess maybe i will also go to fedor for training. joke but i live in the same country as alistair overeem i hope fedor will kill him.

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

It is very nice talking to you. Many (not all) people in my country are arrogant and hate when somebody is better than a native american. I personally dont care, I just love the sport and like to see the best fighting the best. Thats why I DONT like Floyd Mayweather bcs he is coward pussy that chooses easy fighters to fight with and when challenges arises (Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Mosley and now Pacquiao) he avoids them.

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow they are arrogant like dana white

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

@hangsteiger Dana White is an arrogant fat and egocentric pig.

[hangsteiger]

@Obamaownswhitesnow yes he is but i most go maybe we will write each other later oke take care fedor for life

[Tino13]

@steroidsischeating Fedor does not need to fight Brock... Brock needs to fight Fedor... I hate people who think Fedor has to prove himself by fighting brock, they are idiots.. Brock's only noteworthy victory is over Frank Mir.. Even Couture was an aging past his prime lighheavyweight fighter...

[steroidsischeating]

@Tino13. he has to come to the UFC tho to fight the HWs there. UFC is the biggest company out and the best. you have to fight in the best company to be the best and fedor will never be the best if he doesnt go to the UFC

[Langen09]

I like your name. UFC fighters much? ROFL!

[VikingWarCry]

@steroidsischeating

Fedor already is the best fighter in human history. He doesnt have to prove anything anymore.

[OffspringFTW65]

@steroidsischeating Funny thing is UFC is full of steroid pumping pieces of shit, so i find your name a little ironic. But secondly, UFC is full of rules, some of which allow turtling...in MMA.....now look at some of the japanese or brazillian MMA, they are aloud to head stomp n shit, why? because of less insurance issues. The less rules, the better FIGHTERS, the more rules, the better SPORTS MEN. Why cant people like this get it through your uneducated head? UFC is a sport, not a fight.

[cougher989]

@Tino13

Yeah... usually Fedor haters are idiots. And they're usually also UFC sheep.

[souldry]

@Tino13 Finally, someone that has a brain. To most Americans, anything outside America does not even exist. So obviously, when the UFC is the only thing they know, they think its the greatest and has the best fighters. They do have good fighters, except in their heavy weight division, which I think is pretty bad. And Mir is a joke. That last fight against Lesner, my god, if thats a showing of a champion(now former, but a champ at the time nonetheless), you got a long way to go.

[Cambmusic1]

@Tino13 he does tho...

[madnessguru]

Cant wait till the olympic games and teh winter games CANADA VS RUSSIA thats going to be epic i cant wait

[TheScooter2010]

TO any Fedor hater or noob in denial ! eat your heart our Fedorminator is The best MMA fighter of all time by a good margin also... only 1 loss and its Technical even for a cut....... after fighting all these champions at their peak.... my god ! how blind can you be to say anyone else is better!! can block or mir..beat him ? ofc theres always a fighters chance...even you and i have a chance to land the right punch and get lucky against another fighter..but in the end hes the mma Emperor!

[erixonline]

Fedor The Last Emperor Vs. Roy Big Country?

[joeberger]

@erixonline Roy was taken care of by Arlovski pretty quickly. Fedor would destroy him

[bcss11]

i would love to see this, wouldn't be a good fight...more like an awesome highlight real of Fedor KO'in that sad excuse for an mma fighter.

[iTzeXile13]

the GOAT!!!

fedor come to UFC!

[hoboguru]

UFC figthers should go to fedor! hes the man right now fuck the UFC and their shit judges

[akaFIVEDOLLA]

its not there judges dipshit, the commisioning body of the state there held in appoints there judges. strikeforce could end up with the same judges .

[hoboguru]

akaFIVEDOLLA : ''its not *there* judges dipshit''...sorry, whos the dipshit?

[akaFIVEDOLLA]

your busting my balls over my bad gramer, you are the dipshit. wow what a waste of time dip shit

[mptrax]

Great Fedor, I am your fan from Italy.

Fedor fully deserves this prize. Really the best.

[TheOheya]

Fedya the best! All who think what that the clown of type Broka Lesnara can with him will compare fools!

[srpskiheroi]

yeah carwin, brock and mir are not on the same level with that fat russian...hes the best of the best

[aaronCapricorn]

the U.S. claims BJ Penn and Shane Carwin and Nate Marquardt. i could go on. good luck on your fat fedor russia, wish he could meet up with shane, brock, and frank. :)

[RangRing68]

@aaronCapricorn That "fat" Fedor would kill Shane, Brock and frank at the same time!

[papcyrill]

he will fuck them all like all your stereoid freaks,,!!

this fat dude defeat all u.s fighters,,white dudes,,black dudes,,all of them!! so be gentel gringo!!

[FedorCroCop44]

loser lol ur dumb

[Sirwastealot]

u should have stopped at BJ Penn who is the man. The other two cant carry fedor's jock strap

[ocblenheimpl]

I just find it amazing that guys still persist in defending the quality of the top heavyweights in the UFC - bar Frank Mir - Fedor has more fights under his belt than ALL of them added up together! You cant be rated in the top 5 if you've fought only a dozen or so fights (lets not even go into how few fights Lesnar has had!) - you couldnt possibly have fought enough 'different styles' of fighters with so few fights. It takes dozens of fights to say that you are top of any tree

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Who is Fedor fighting next?

[froicatz27]

allan

[xxdonaldqxx]

Fedor Emelianenko is a terrific talent with a lot of heart and speed.Fedor goes after an opponent the way a starved pit bull runs toward a pound of meat.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

First of all, you're a dumbass if you believe any of that. You said: "Why should he take a pay cut to obey the decrees of the egotistical Dana White?" Dana White's offer allowed him to wear M-1 Global trunks and let them sponsor him, he could compete in as many Sambo competitions as he wanted, and would receive several million dollars for each fight. But Fedor turned all of that down because he wanted the UFC to share half their profits with a smaller company in exchange for ONE fighter...

[cypher954]

and Fedor got what he wanted...hey when you got the bargaining chips, you can demand what you want...Fedor had the chips, UFC didn't...Fedor won...Fedor got co-promotion...doesn't matter whether it's right or not, it's business

[Mojo1982]

@cypher954

I was just about to forward this to you, lol. Fedor is getting the recognition he deserves back home.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

cypher, you act like you don't want Fedor to prove that he's the best against the top fighters in the UFC. Saying that he is the best but then saying that he shouldn't have to prove it is contradicting yourself.

[cypher954]

everytime UFC hires someone new doesn't mean Fedor has to run off and bend over backward to fight him...and if Fedor was in the UFC, you'd be complaining that he wasn't fighting Overeem or Josh Barnett

[JohnnyBoyCali]

I like the UFC but you're completely wrong. The only decent UFC HW's for Fedor to fight are young, unestablished guys like Cain, Carwin, Duffee. Brock is soo overrated at 4-1 its a joke. Fedors already beat nog, herring and cro cop. Mir might pose a threat to Fedor but Mirs always up and down. He looks great in one fight and horrible in another. Who else is left for Fedor in the UFC ... randy ... yeah right. 46 year old, 17-10 couture cant do anything against fedor.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Brock Lesnar is a strong guy with the best wrestling in the division. You can't just brush him off because he's 4-1. Out of everyone in the HW division, Brock has the best chance at beating him, or even TKOing him. Records don't win fights.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

You WWE fan boys make me laugh. Old man Randy Couture out-wrestled Brock and reversed him. Brock then gassed in the Couture fight. Brock couldn't even finish a hurt Heath Herring and the only way he could beat Frank Mir was by smothering him. Brocks incredibly overrated. He hasnt earned the right to fight Fedor. Lets see him get past Velasquez, carwin, Duffee, Gonzaga before hes even mentioned in the same sentence as Fedor. Brocks just a newb who got gifted a titleshot.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Brock Lesnar is ranked #2 Heavyweight fighter on nearly every MMA rankings site out there. What do you mean Brock doesn't deserve to fight him?

Did Tim Sylvia deserve to fight Fedor? Tim lost 2 of his last 3 fights before he fought Fedor.

Did Hong Man Choi? He had ONE mma fight then 12 months later went against Fedor.

Brock Lesnar was able to hold Frank Mir, a BJJ black belt, down and avoid submissions. Frank Mir couldn't move at all, and then he got his face pounded in.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

Brock at #2 is an absolute joke and is just smart UFC marketing hype. Tim was 24-4 when he fought fedor and those loses you speak of he beat the hell out of nogueira but got submitted and lost a decision to couture. Brock was able to smother Frank Mir because he outweighed him by about 40lbs. There was no skill in that. Just smothering someone, give me a break. Brock sucks and will be exposed very soon. Its ridiculous that at 4-1 his getting all this hype.

[cypher954]

you UFC idiots try to use their own losses against Fedor to make your case...your either crazy or getting paid to write this nonsense

[cypher954]

when Fedor fought Tim Sylvia, Brock Lesnar wasn't even the UFC HW champion, in fact he was 1-1 in MMA...that hardly qualifies him to fight the best in the world...at the time, Tim Sylvia was the best match-up for Fedor besides maybe Josh Barnett but as a fighter, you take who is available now run along...I'm sure your mommy is calling you

[mikebrisebois]

I'm not talking about what he has done in the past. I want to know who the best is now. If he isn't fighting the best today their will always be debate. The sport is so much bigger than 10 years ago. The talent pool must be 3-4 times larger at least. If he is not testing himself with these guy's, that the UFC has, he might as well move back to the 90's or early 2000.

I Like the guy alot but lets talk about "today" if we want to know who is the best "now".

[JohnnyBoyCali]

UFC marketing hype has brainwashed so called "mma fans" like you into believing that if an athlete isn't in the UFC he isn't any good. Real fans watch other organizations like strikeforce, bellatore, sengoku, dream, etc. UFC isn't the best one its just the one with the most money for marketing. Its a false perception for simple minded people who are easily fooled.

[mikebrisebois]

Hey, I watch them all as well. I enjoy a wide variety of mma venues. But over the last 10 years the UFC has become the most competitive. Like dana or not, he has the best fighters. The majority of the pro's signed up with dana because they know it's where the best go to compete. GSP, Machida, Silva, Rampage, Crocop, the list goes on and on and on...

[aaronCapricorn]

thumbs up, but i will still watch UFC 111.. without a doubt..

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

I agree. Fedor's last 10 fights haven't even been that impressive. His last good fight was against Nogueira in 2005. Hong Man Choi had 1 mma fight before taking on Fedor, Tim Sylvia lost 2 out of his last 3 fights before going in against Fedor...That doesn't make him the best fighter of 2009. I don't think his managers want him to go to the UFC, because if he goes there and fights the #2 and #3 guys and loses, then he loses his #1 ranking and he's not such a big deal anymore.

[bruiserblu]

Well maybe if Fedor was a LHW or MW the talent pool 'maybe' the vast ocean of talent you maybe referring to the UFC has, but the UFC HW divi... no.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Serbfree, Fedor is fighting in America, dumbass. How is that shunning him? Fedor could of gone to the UFC and fought highly ranked fighters but instead he elected to go to Strikeforce and fight chumps like Brett Rogers, and you still like him?

By the way, you're an idiot if you think the UFC is run by the mafia...

[warriorprince1010]

Fedor is from the Ukraine not Russia. But he has adopted Russian nationality.

[guimplenchik]

@warriorprince1010 Fedor was born in Rubizhne, Ukraine, former country of USSR. He grew up and spent his childhood/youth in Stariy Oskol, Russian Federation.

[eduardo7183]

im from south america and i watch ufc, pride, aflliction and other organizations and to me Fedor is the Best pound for pound heavy weight in the ground or standin up.

[polychronio]

and who cares about that too? who cares about what's going on in american sports? no one cares about american sports.

[mikebrisebois]

I guess if you're from mars mabey. America has some great athletes. As does other countries. You can't shrug them off like they don't exist.

[polychronio]

but nobody cares about american sports.

[mikebrisebois]

If fedor beats Mir or brock or Vitor I will belive he is for real. Too many questions around Fedor. He has beat alot of top heavyweights, but at the end of their careers. Washed up has beens. He hasn't been tested against the current best in the world. How can anyone be certain about his skills when he isn't fighting the best. It's all speculation.

[rikestard]

awesome

[MaximusCrow8]

Fedor Best MAN

[illdawg1234]

damn ur right it IS all blacks being held down by jewish sport owners lmao

[illdawg1234]

best athlete of russia? how about best athlete of the world, god bless fedor hes the MAN

[iloveagnethayoanna]

@illdawg1234  you said it man

[Cessation3]

lol we all enjoy that

[pissballs]

So Dana did ya get it through your delusional neurological system? FEDOR THE BEST BAR NUN!

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Fedor has fought 3 times since 2007. None of his opponents were top ranked fighters, so I don't see how beating those 3 guys makes you the best of 2009.

[cypher954]

Fedor has fought 3 times since 2008...only fought once in 2008 and fought twice in 2009...what's your point? Brock Lesnar only fought one time in 2009...and like I said one thousand times to you before but you keep saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again...

Arlovski -- ranked #2

Brett Rogers --- ranked #6

Tim Sylvia ---ranked #5

They were all top 10 fighters...obviously once someone beats them, there rank goes down...do you understand that, idiot

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

My point is he is taking easy fights. Who is his next fight? Fabricio Werdum? He got KOed in seconds in his last fight in the UFC, Fedor will kill that guy. He could be in the UFC fighting Brock, Frank Mir, or Cain Velasquez, but instead he's fighting Werdum...

[Thirty37Seven]

@ChuckNorrisBuysMeth he wants to fight these people now because he will not get a chance to WHEN he does sign to UFC. he wants werdum definitely because of the loss his brother took to him, same with barnett, he should have fought alistair on numerous occasions back in pride. nah man, fedor said he WILL sign with UFC when hes done with his 3 or 4 fights left in strikeforce and as long as they present the same contract as last one they had prepared for him the second time.

[Thirty37Seven]

@ChuckNorrisBuysMeth in fact he wanted to sign with UFC but he said that it was as if they wanted him for nothing. fedor wants to fight brock no question! he said its the fight my fans want to see most. and it will happen in good time. patience is waiting for the the right time. fedor would not like to jump in bed with a snake my friend and neither would you!!! even if he loses his next fight or the one after hes got PLENTY of fights left in him!!! and those fights you listed are inevitable!

[Thirty37Seven]

@ChuckNorrisBuysMeth give fedor his credit man, hes an unbelievable person and a great soul to have to have here with us now in our time! even if he turns out not to be the greatest. i guarantee you he loves this sport and will do his best to continue to keep a legacy with his name. but you have a point and even he says over and over that i am NOT the greatest ever and i will always think that way. he says that his winning days could end at any time. but we'll have to see! sorry for the rant!

[cypher954]

Fedor was just named "Fighter of the Decade" by Sports Illustrated...that must really eat your heart out, huh...

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Nah, he's easily Fighter of the Decade, just not fighter of 2008 or 2009.

[Sirwastealot]

What you are just gonna use lies now? Thats pathetic dude get a life

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

What did i say that was a lie?

[Sirwastealot]

You said none of his fights since 2007 were against top ranked fighters... not true

[g173df]

Bobby Fischer vs the Russian Machine.

Fedor E. vs the American Machine.

I think Bobby has been reincarnated as Fedor but without the psycho problems. Don't get me wrong, I to this day enjoy Bobby's games it's just that he became to focused on things he probably should have just considered as is or left alone.

[polychronio]

who cares about american athletes?

[blade2000kid]

lol ....

[cam4883]

This shows how great it is when people voting get it spot on! Well done fedor, bet he is well chuft!

[Chancellor521]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[PlayF00tball]

named best athlete because the football team blew it, fucking drunk idiots

[rayj778]

world's greatest athlete/warrior

[RussianDefender100]

Nikolay Davydenko !!!

[Yalashaska]

Fedor is the world's best athlete

[fsw20585bir]

If Fedor was a white american, he would be promoted by the amerikkkan media as the 2nd coming of Christ!

[Steadno]

build him higher so WHEN he falls it cracks the ground of russia

[Juice050289]

Fedor = GOAT

[HiFiApartment]

@Juice050289 agree!

[Johanadrian]

They seem to understand how spectacular the guy really is, even in an obscure sport.

[69QuIzAcK69]

I could take him..... to a movie so he wouldn't kill me!

[VEGETADTX]

AHAHAHA good one :) don't worry he would never kill you, hes super nice guy :)

Man its awesome to see that he is proclaimed as one of the best Russia's athletes :)

[Laneooo1]

for sure he is

[HeartBreak1x]

HAIL TO THE MMA GOD. Haha Tym Sylvia Cannot believe that he lost under one minute.

[WorldTravelerMan]

fedor is not only the best mma fighter of all time hes the greatest athlete of all time. see my video where i prove it.

[Skabinflaff]

Nice one Fedor!

[nokiaTm]

Fedor=war!

[starcraftfan2008]

Fedor is the best

[cypher954]

Fedor can't be stopped

[cypher954]

congratulations Fedor !!

[termanology85]

fedor is over-rated and he will lose the day he comes to the ufc.

[cypher954]

that makes no sense because Fedor is already 7-0 against UFC HW Champions...Fedor has beaten more UFC HW champs than anyone on earth

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

List the 7.... By the way, he either beat them before they became champions or after they lost and lost their title, so you can't say he beat the UFC Heavyweight champion because when he fought them they weren't the champion.

[cypher954]

ok, well, if someone beats Fedor right now, we won't give them any credit because he doesn't have the Strikeforce belt yet...okay?

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

List the 7 champions he beat.... Nogueira never won the title, and Arlovski was given it when Frank Mir got in his wreck, so he never beat someone to be the champion either. Then Tim Sylvia beat Arlovski to be champion... Tim Sylvia sucks dude, he has no ground game and he's slow as hell. I heard he was thinking about quitting MMA and going to boxing instead because he's so terrible.

[cypher954]

Nogueira won the interim HW title on UFC 81...and what does that say about the UFC if a fighter like Tim Sylvia can take the title...you said it, not me

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

Back then, Dana White admitted it, the HW division sucked. Tim Sylvia is terrible, and Arlovski didn't do that great in the UFC, and Brett Rogers was changing tires this time last year, beating those 3 fighters doesn't make you the P4P best of 2009.

[ChuckNorrisBuysMeth]

You said: "what does that say about the FC if a fighter like Tim Sylvia can take the title"....Well, he got it from Andrei Arlovski so that means he's terrible. Arlovski also happens to be Fedor's other recent fight, so i'm not impressed.

[troglodyte3344]

@YourFuture2012 Not sure how you came to that conclusion. The worlds best fighters have hailed him the best. He has won many championships and is considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world by many magazines. His record speaks for itself.

[destroyxeverything]

"Overrated" is when people hold a fighter in high regards but keeps on losing and disappointing fans(Cro Cop)

But Fedor kicks ass multiple times.

[scion53]

YESS!!!! Fedor is the best! Best recognize nugga

[aSuperbadassninja]

lol nugga?
