Best MMA fighter ever

Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko (Russian: Фёдор Владимирович Емельяненко, tr. Fyodor Vladimirovich Yemelyanenko, IPA: [ˈfʲɵdər vlɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪʨ jɪmʲɪlʲˈjanʲɪnkə][5]) (born September 28, 1976) is a Russian heavyweight mixed martial artist. He is the current World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Heavyweight Champion and the last holder of the Pride Heavyweight Championship. He has won numerous tournaments and accolades in multiple sports, most notably the Pride 2004 Grand Prix and the World Combat Sambo championship on four occasions, as well as medaling in the Russian national Judo championship.

Emelianenko had been widely considered the best heavyweight fighter in the world for the last seven years by major publications, including ESPN.com, Sherdog, Full Contact Fighter, MMA Weekly, and Nokaut.[6] As of June 2010, Sherdog.com currently ranks him at #3 fighter in the heavyweight division. He holds the distinction of having held five separate major championships including the RINGS World Heavyweight and King of Kings Championships, the Pride Fighting Championships World Heavyweight and Heavyweight Grand Prix Championships and the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship. Many analysts, as well as former and current fighters, consider Emelianenko to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all time.[7]

Until tapping out to Fabricio Werdum on June 26, 2010, Emelianenko had one official loss on his record (to Tsuyoshi Kohsaka), though it came under highly irregular circumstances. The fight, a tournament bout, was stopped after approximately 15 seconds when Emelianenko received a significant cut from an illegal elbow from Kohsaka. Normally, a stoppage caused by an illegal strike would result in a no contest or a DQ victory for the recipient. However, because this was a tournament, in order to have a fighter available for the next round, Kohsaka was advanced and Emelianenko was considered "eliminated".[8] Because of this, many considered Emelianenko to be undefeated until his loss to Werdum.[

Anyone can post statistics and be smart guys. But in a fight, it doesn't matter. You fight the way you fight not by statistics.

@FromPlToNy Tsss, does compulsive liar mean anything to you? Strikeforce hw divison isnt even ok. None of the fighters except Josh Barnett and maybe Overeem would be top 5. Fedor has been good since 2005 and that is fact. Fighting cans and dodging bullets doesnt prove anything. Thats the thing i hate about Fedors fans. They can never be objective about anything. Its like arguing with a kid.

@Antix SFTU shithead, u can are one of those ppls i write about, so dont quote myself cause u are only zuffa pathetic dog.

Yeah all fighters are allowed to get out of their prime but not Fedor. Right. "Oh but Randy Couture 47 y he gud man!!" No, Randy lost alot of matches to cans and he had less fights than fedor, its called sportsman age, fedor fought in the best organization at that time which was PRIDE where ppls used to fight like wild animals with stomp and stuff,his body is not the same
