Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko (Russian: Фёдор Владимирович Емельяненко, tr. Fyodor Vladimirovich Yemelyanenko, IPA [ˈfʲɵdər vlɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪʨ jɪmʲɪlʲˈjanʲɪnkə]) (born September 28, 1976) is a Russian heavyweight mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. 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 has been universally 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. Several mixed martial arts publications such as mma.com currently rank Emelianenko as the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world while MMANews ranks him at #2 and Sherdog.com ranks him at #3. Also Sherdog.com, MMAWeekly and MMANews all rank him the #1 Heavyweight fighter in the world. He holds the distinction of having held five separate major championships including the RINGS World Heavyweight and King of Kings Championships, the Pride 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. He holds notable wins over Ricardo Arona, Renato Sobral, Semmy Schilt, Heath Herring, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Kazuyuki Fujita, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, Mirko Filipović, Mark Hunt, Matt Lindland, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, and Brett Rogers.

  • I hope SF will grew and become the best like Pride was...

  • I agree. He is the best athlete- not only MMA fighter- of all time. Why? Because of his physical skills and moral qualities that make him such an inspiring human being.

  • There can't be a greatest athlete ever,you can hardly compare Fedor to Tiger Woods.

  • Not anymore he's not. He's not even the best MMA fighter ever. Best HW, yes but I can see Cain or JDS surpassing him when they are finished.

  • @JonsMomLol prime Fedor would dismember prime Cain

  • @floodland99 Derrick Rose>>>>>>Allen Iverson lol. Hell, Russell Westbrook>>>>>>>Allen Iverson

  • The greatest athlete I've ever seen is Allen Iverson. 46" vertical leap, runs about a 4 minute mile, MONSTER football player with a canon for an arm, led the NBA in scoring for several years at 5'11". Whatever sport he chose he would be the best, tennis, MMA, X games, football but was amazing in the NBA against giants....

    Fedor is amazing but I can't imagine dominating in running sports.

  • @sonocontenti fedor sucks ass

    

  • @kingegypt101 man, opinions about fedor have changed as a result of recent happenings.

  • @more1790 true, Usain is a freak.

  • Are you montagraph?
