IMO THE baddest motherfucker in the history of pro fighting

IMO THE baddest motherfucker in the history of pro fighting

That's a stretch but he is a super tough dude.

[SAUTO]

That's a stretch but he is a super tough dude.

who ya got better? in an actual FIGHT???(not boxing)

[jidar]

That's a stretch but he is a super tough dude.

I don't think it's a stretch at all.

[raybec 4]

who ya got better? in an actual FIGHT???(not boxing)

It's impossible to say, Miguel Angel Torres is one of the best, baddest and most well rounded fighters in the world. He only weighs 135 so there is no way to pit their skills against one another. Lots of guys come to mind. I will say he is the baddest heavyweight mixed martial artist fighting today.

[Pants]

who ya got better? in an actual FIGHT???(not boxing)

Umm, lets see...we have..uhh...yeah, nobody.

[ArrowheadHawk]

If he would stop being a pussy and join the UFC I would have more respect for him. But he sure is a badass at beating UFC has beens.

Size matters.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Fedor has beat UFC heavyweights both before and after they held titles. He wont join the UFC because the UFC wont pay him enough and are demanding an exclusive contract so that he couldn't compete in Sambo or M1.

[Delano]

Alright, if you want to play that game.

Who in the UFC would even challenge him right now?

Lesnar? ROFL

[raybec 4]

Size matters.

Only to a certain extent, but that's my point, we'll never ever know because they will never fight. He'll never fight Anderson Silva or GSP or anyone else that could be mentioned with the pound for pound best.

[TrickyNicky]

My only problem with that highlight is that they clipped out him getting rocked by Fujita and suplexed into oblivion by Randleman, only to come back and win decisively. Also they seemed to speed up the punching slightly in some parts. Pretty good highlight though. Good music and quotes.

I have no problems saying he's the best heavyweight fighting and there is no nationally known fighter in his division who could beat him.

That's why I miss Pride. Dana can go suck a big, fat dick.

[suds79]

I'm sorry but it's just hard for me to take this guy seriously when he isn't even fighting in the best league.

kimbo slice

[suds79]

I'll take Lesner.

Better athelte
Much, much stronger
Better conditioning

Seriously Fedor should be fighting at 205 if he'd just lose all the fat. 230+ is embarrassing for his frame.

[MOhillbilly]

I'll take Lesner.

get lesner off the HGH/Roids.

No, he doesn't, and you, as always have no ****ing point of reference.

Riiiight, being the best in a weaker league makes you the best fighter on the planet......my bad.

[CoMoChief]

get lesner off the HGH/Roids.

You honestly think he hasn't been tested yet?

He might have in WWE, but Im more than positive he's not taking them now. Most of that is just his built, theres a lot of home grown country man girth there to begin with.

[Pants]

Riiiight, being the best in a weaker league makes you the best fighter on the planet......my bad.

He dominated Pride which was far superior to UFC in terms of quality of fighters, but since you've only been following MMA since UFC started to show fights on Spike, you're an expert. Just do yourself a favor and shut the fuck up already.

[Demonpenz]

Jeff Blauser

[blazzin311]

Yep. I too believe Fedor is in a class of his own. Especially when you consider I am all about any and everything MMA. So I've watched the best of the best and Fedor is the only one who doesen't seem to have a flaw. He truly is the best of the best right now. That being said, it's a shame he probably won't ever make the jump to UFC. I would like to see him maybe drop down to 205 and take on UFC's best. Seeing him against some of UFC 205 lb. fighters I feel those could make for some real interesting fights.

[Demonpenz]

I don't. But what I said is still true.

[jidar]

ROFL you sure do know me

It looks like a pretty accurate assessment from here.

I think anyone who has watched more than just UFC knows how good Fedor is. It's not just his record, it's what he does.

[CoMoChief]

I don't. But what I said is still true.

Gonna have to say you're wrong again. But hey if you think it's true, then by all means more power to you.

[RUSH]

He dominated Pride which was far superior to UFC in terms of quality of fighters, but since you've only been following MMA since UFC started to show fights on Spike, you're an expert. Just do yourself a favor and shut the **** up already.

Thank you. UFC might be the best overall league, but it's heavyweight division is not stellar at all. The top competition is a lot tougher outside the UFC. I would take Arvloski and Barnett over any HW in the UFC. Fedor's brother is better than most of them too.

He has beat every former UFC champ ever put in front of him and please name one guy that would even contend with him in the UFC currently. Mir, Brock and Randy would get destroyed and Nog has already been destroyed. If you can't take him serious then you don't understand a thing about the sport.

I wish Barnett and Fedor would fight next, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen.

[SAUTO]

would someone more computer savvy PLEASE post a list of fedor's fights (actually that should say wins). the list of opponents is pretty impressive. i would put the list of who he's fought up against anyone. did anyone see any video of his exhibition match the other day?changes to Fedor Emelianenko mma record

Good Lord you don't have a clue what you're talking about. You do realize Fedor owned the heavyweight division in PRIDE, and Pride is light-years ahead of UFC's heavyweights. Fedor has owned past UFC Heavyweight Champions Arvloski and Silva, he has beat the whose who of MMA.

he MADE m1 put a clause in his contract where they have to offer the ufc HW champ 1 million more than what his total ufc contract is worth for 1 fight against fedor. he WANTS to fight anyone

[bdeg]

no question baddest toughest fighter on the planet, so much fun to watch.

are head stomps legal in ufc? im guessing that was a pride fight, or was it from something different? it seems like it'd be kinda easy to kill someone doing that it if lands right--eh i guess they were more kicks than stomps with his full weight and momentum coming down on his skull

Kicks to downed opponents are not legal in UFC.

Not quite, NOG and Fedor's fight was an epic battle to the end, very entertaining. Fedor has been in some battles, his fight with Cro Cop was a war as well.

[BigCatDaddy]

I wish Barnett and Fedor would fight next, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen.

I remember watching Barnett take one of the nastiest right hands from Rizzo about 6-7 years ago in UFC. It's hard to believe he has morphed into what he is today.

[jidar]

They fought twice
Fedor won twice by decision.

If you watch the fights though it was more one sided than that. Nog spent most of the time on his back using his ju-jitsu to defend. Fedor couldn't knock him out, props to Noggy for being elusive and having a chin like no other, but Nog never had a chance to win those fights.

[El Jefe]

Wrong he want's to get PAID. Fedor said before he fought Silva, that he only wanted to fight 2-3 more fights. Fedor has nothing to prove, he's fighting for the money.

You do realize NOG is world class BJJ? He has like 20 wins by submission, he submitted Bob Sapp off his back.

BTW if you're trying to impress me with your knowledge on Fedor it isn't going to work because Fedor fought NOG 3 TIMES, one was a no contest.

[jidar]

If I didn't know that, I shouldn't even be in this conversation. Nog is a legend in BJJ and in his weight class is probably without peer.

Even so, Fedor was never in trouble. That's my point.

That man can take punishment like no else in the world. I'm always left astounded how he keeps on keeping on after getting a barrage to the face time and time again. Ridiculous.

Well for you to say NOG never had a chance is completely silly. Any BJJ fighter who is worth their salt is going to be in a fight until the bell rings

I can use sherdog as easily as you, and guess why they call it no-contest? It wasn't a fight.

Read up on the fight jr, because it ended due to an illegall headbutt which caused the cut.I don't use Sherdog, I have actually never even been there. I am a huge Fedor fan, which stems back from my love of all things PRIDE. Those were the days, I don't care if you think I looked it up or not to be quite honest.

[jidar]

That man can take punishment like no else in the world. I'm always left astounded how he keeps on keeping on after getting a barrage to the face time and time again. Ridiculous.

I was just thinking this. I don't think there is a harder chin in fighting than Nogiueras. In both fights against Fedor he took some monster shots and shook them off.

[El Jefe]

BTW jidar, that wasn't a personal attack at you.

Chris Leben before the Silva fight IMO.

Well this is a minor thing to argue about, so conceded.

It's true at any time a BJJ guy can finish, but it never looked to me like he was imposing his will in the position and the control battle. He was mostly reacting and staying alive.

It's similar to how a guy can be getting his ass beat the whole fight in striking but then land one well-timed shot on the other guys chin and he wins.

More videos needed.

Touche. That's why it's so fun to watch.

One of my favorite fights is Fedor vs Kevin Randleman, that guy looked like he was chiseled from stone. Randleman like suplexed Fedor, and somehow Fedor didn't get knocked out.

Check it out at like 55 seconds in, Fedors chin touches his chest, he got slammed so hard.

Yet somehow Frank fuckin Mir TKO's him? I gotta believe that Nog was injured or ill going into that one. Under no circumstances does Mir have better KO ability than some of the other guys Nog has fought.

[El Jefe]

Mir is a cock SOB, anybody see his commercial for Ecko tennis shoes? He says only 10 people in the world could beat him in a fight. The rest he would beat, even if you had a bat, he would take the bat from you. LMAO

I hate that dude, he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper sack 3 years ago, he falls ass first into a win over Lesnar and then beats Nog so now he's a hero again? Gimme a break

[macdawg]

3 years ago he was recovering from a broken fibula in a motorcycle accident, when Mir is in shape he is hard to beat.

[RUSH]

Nog said he displaced his knee several times during the Mir fight. And anyone that follows Nog knows he is not one for excuses, so I believe him 100%. I also heard a rumor that he had a staph infection too. I hope Mir beats Lesnar and Nog beats Randy, so Nog can get that P.O.S. in the octagon again.

I heard he had staph also, I hadn't heard about his knee.

Wrong he want's to get PAID. Fedor said before he fought Silva, that he only wanted to fight 2-3 more fights. Fedor has nothing to prove, he's fighting for the money.

HERE i disagree. if he was in it for the money alone he would have signed with the UFC. he wants to fight THE BEST, he's said it himself many times(and reading this thread i will ask, what is sherdog??? i actually know just dont know that i have been there either) he didnt sign with the UFC because he didnt want a randy situation happening (a better fighter outside of the UFC and not having the power to fight them)

[Fishpicker]

(and reading this thread i will ask, what is sherdog??? i actually know just dont know that i have been there either)

sherdog is a database/forum for MMA fans. it was one of the first, if not the first.

he got spiked. Fedor must be limber as hell. that same suplex would probably be fatal or career-ending for alot of heavyweight fighters.

i know what it is, i just dont go there. i know what i know from watching the fights, and i read sportfight magazine, sometimes go to cage potato, they have some funny shit. and mmanews is an all right spot to see rumored fights

[mdstu]

Hell, the fact that he reversed Randleman from such a dominate position right after the slam should say plenty about Fedor.

I just wish the UFC would bankrupt everybody, get a network TV deal and have all the best fighters fight each other. Than there would be no more speculation on who can beat who.

thats the last thing UFC needs. Competition (amongst organizations) is key if you want to see great fight cards. UFC turns away a lot of fighters because the purses get too big.

If it weren't for Pride; UFC 100 would probably feature Shamrock vs Abbott XIV

there is competition. and they also have a talent farm with NCAA

they need to have cross promotion fights IMO

That's good for MMA in general. But UFC is the top dog and stands to lose in any cross promotional fights. They already did that when they put chuck liddell on loan for the PrideFC grand prix. Chuck lost the fight. Dana lost a big chunk of change. And the UFC lost recognition as the best MMA organization.

They need the old Ultimate Ultimate tournaments. 8 men tournaments where the winners move on.

[EyePod]

What good does being the best fighter not in the best league prove? That would be like Peyton Manning playing in the AFL.

Didn't the AFL go bankrupt? That would seem pretty stupid to play in a league that doesn't exist... next example please ;)

another thing he is REALLY classy. seems almost as though he is ashamed that he just kicked someone's ass so easily

yeah he is a class act.

I would pay to watch Fedor humble Frank Mir. The only thing that would make me like Fedor more would be if he was an American, but he isn't so that's a moot point. Fedor said he never stares at his opponent, or tries to intimidate them because it reflects back on you and makes you look classless. I'm thankful Randy didn't fight Fedor, because I think Fedor would really hurt him, and Randy retired on top, last thing he needs is to come back and get humiliated and destroyed.

Yeah Fedor could of hurt him pretty bad, he would of snapped his arm when he got him in the arm bar. The Fedor was about to overhead slam him, but just kind of dropped him. Fedor's hands are just insanely fast for a heavyweight, he demonstrated that against Aoki.
