@dhood619 Fedor beat two K1 champions, two Olympic judo medalists, a silver medalist in wrestling, ADCC champion and five former UFC heavyweight champions.
He achieved all this as an undersized heavyweight, through sheer fighting rather than gameplan and at times even defeated them in their own game. I admit Fedor is not the best anymore, but what he achieved no other fighter has ever done in any weight class, that's why he is the greatest heavyweight mma fighter of all time.
@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
@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.
@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
@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.
@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 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 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.
@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.
