Fedor Emelianenko is 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' on January 20 (Video)

Yea wish I could, thats an awesome idea Kevin, but I’m in construction (mostly overhead electrical) and the business has fallen on hard times recently; it’s PPV for me till things pick up around here.

Who in the UFC will beat Fedor? Unless you are joking which you must be.

there is nobody in the ufc that he needs to fight,please natas who should he fight in the ufc.

LOL!

Natas, you are joking aren’t you?

he’s the best HW ever.
top 4 P4P!
if he beats AA convincingly, I’ll be very impressed, simply because since cro cop, he’s fought no one!

“Fedor’s the best heavyweight in the world. I hope one day I could fight him and do well, but right now he’s better than I am. As a martial artist you have to be truthful about yourself so you can approach your training properly and get better. Fedor has great killer instinct, he’s tough, he’s strong. If I fought him I’d try to catch him in a submission, but I don’t know if Fedor can be beaten. He’s the best heavyweight.”

He also said that about Nog,and looked what happened

all of a sudden I can not speak proper english

Didn’t Fedor barely beat Cro Cop and Nogueira?
Even those 2 guys got destroyed in the UFC.
I don’t care what you guys say. He needs to come to the UFC and fight.
I hope Arlovski knocks him out so guys can finally wash your mouth from all the Fedor ball sucking.
I don’t think he can do it though.

john, Frank thought he couldn’t beat Nog either and he dominated him and was the first to do the imposible. He KHTFO. The simple fact that Mir did roll right through Nog suggests he should fight Fedor and actually might surprise some people, including himself.

Frank beating Nog didn’t say anything except for how bad Nog was and how something was wrong with him, if the real Nog from Pride and the Nog that Fedor beat came to the fight he would’ve rolled over Mir in a round! look into the fights ppl, and see how they perform, don’t just stare at the names and wins&losees on their records from their past.. Forrest was given a huge gift in getting to fight a Big name guy like Shogun who performed like he was barely a top 20 guy…

Thank you Rob. Some of you guys are like Retarded.

Frank Mir destroyed Nog! THats a Fact, but that wasnt the same Nog that Fedor destroyed…Apples and Oranges.

TO honestly think that Mir has a shot against Fedor is just SILLY! I will leave it at that!

What’s even sillier is thinking the only reason all these pride guys are losing in the UFC is because they all had a bad night. It’s funny how Forrest’s luck runs out as soon as he isn’t fighting a Pride guy. I have always watched both Pride and the UFC and realized that there is top talent in both orgs, but I never bought the very POPULAR myth that Pride had the superior fighters, especially the HWs. One can stick to this myth and claim CC isn’t the same, Nog wasn’t himself, Showgun was injured, Rampage didn’t show up,Werdum was fat and lazy, Wandy had a few bad fights, but he will be back, Herring wasn’t that good anyhow, Soko got lucky in his 2 pride fights, but there comes a time you have to ask yourself, Was I wrong about thinking these guys would just roll right through the UFC? Maybe Fedor will have a few bad nights himself in the UFC.

really you think teh best 230 pound fighter could beat the best 155er your a pretty smart guy.

gSP was just qquoted as saying that Fedor is the best p4p fighter on the Planet…and thats coming from another p4p top 5 fighter!

If all the UFC fighters respect Fedor, I find it silly that some of the keyboard warrior haters, like to trash him!

Fighters know better then all of us, and in their eyes, Fedor is the best fighter on the planet! Show the king some respect!

And Anderson said GSP is the #1 P4P. What fighter would be arrogant enough to say he is the best, oh yeah BJ,lol.

On M1 Fedor said he would like a fight against Brock!
http://www.fightscoops.com/UFC/Fedor.shtml
That would be the ultimate. Fighting skills easly dominated by Fedor but strenght and speed easly dominated by Brock. He also stated that couture could still be a possible fight as well Barnett!! Any way they all would be better than AA!

You show NOTHING to back up your oppinion and “Pah-leeze” isn’t a reason for Fedor to not fight the top UFC HW’s. However, the FACT that Fedor’s 2 toughest opponents have been DESTROYED by UFC fighters, is EVERY reason Fedor to fight in the UFC.

That would be like Fitch and BJ going to another org. and fighting Jake Sheilds and getting destroyed in the first round. Your not going to hear me say Pah-leeze GSP is the best ever and it would be a waste of his time to fight Sheilds.

Fedor has just demolished an ex UFC HW champ, it about to fight another, and likely after AA will be fighting another. Inside the UFC, you have no one that has yet held the title for more than a single defense.

Who deserves a fight with Fedor in the UFC? Nog? Mir? Couture? Lesnar? Who else?

The UFC will no doubt produce some good champions over the years, and I think some of the young guys coming up may in fact be the biggest threats, but as of today, Fedor has better fights outside the UFC.

If a belt changes hands often, it is more likely due to TIGHT competition, not the lack there of. The LHW division is proof of that, it’s stacked. After this weekend Fedor only has Barnett left. Barnett is HARDLY better competition than the entire UFC HW div. I don’t disagree AA and Barnett should be on Fedor’s list of opponents, but then what?

-Bottom line, Fedor is best HW in history up to this point, nobody has accomplished what he has, doubt anybody will in the near future.

-P4P arguement is another story, and is greatly a matter of opinion, I think it sounds like 99% of the MMA community can agree on the top 4, which is Penn, GSP, Fedor, and Anderson.
Which order you put them in is too much opinion oriented to have any REAL debate about.

-Does anybody else also consider this, that as far as “All time” P4P goes, Matt Hughes would probably have to be pretty far up the list as well.

IMO Miguel Torres deserves to be in the list with those 4 but I would say everyone should be able to agree on a top 5. As far as Matt Hughes being in an all time list it depends if you consider how good they were compared to the other fighters at the time or how good they were period.

-Matt Hughes is the most dominant champ in history of UFC and beat guys like Newton(twice), Frank Trigg(twice), Mach Sakarai, and GSP all during his crazy dominating run. I think Hughes should def be up there on the all time list.

-Miguel I am not sold on yet as far as being a top P4P ever. He is a very large dude for his class, give him a reach advantage every time, has a decent number of defenses but hasnt faced anybody that has a proven name like the the other four I mentioned right now. I would like to see him challenge at ’45 a bit.

HW division doesn`t have much to offer right now, Tim might be the best fighter he has fought since Pride but that`s not saying much. It`s hard to say until fighters that have fought Fedor fight in the UFC we won`t be able to compare or vise virsa. Tim & AA were hit and miss. If either of them can`t over power you they are in big trouble neither of them are great on the ground. Couture and NOG both won vs Tim because of that and AA lost to Tim two time before he left. Barnett was in the UFC back in 02 and beat Couture but a lot changed since. Cro Cop got destroyed in the UFC yet he destroyed Barnett. I don`t give me that he`s not as good as he use to be, we can say that about all the fighters that have lost lately. We can all say who we think is the best but until the best all fight each other it all opinion and nothing else. If someone say`s Brock is the best HW! No one can change his mind if believes that as a MMA fan except a fighter coming in and beating him. I`ll give my opinion after the Mir fight.

Wow! I understand not all the guys have fought each other. But to suggest Brock Lesnar is the best HW in MMA is a but crazy to me. Brock is 3-1. Brock is 3-1. Fedor is 29-1. After watching Brock Lesnar, what makes him the best HW? Nog looks like shit, true. Cro Cop looks like shit true. But Fedor??? Let’s stop this org loyalty. Many of the fighters(you know professionals who fight for a living)say Fedor is the best. What makes you think you know better? And better yet, what makes you say Brock is the best?

Maybe the could fight at a catch weight, because Fedor said he would fight him if the fans wanted to see it. The only problem is Fedor has to get in the UFC first, which he said is still a posibility, but talk is cheap. I honestly don’t think Affliction will make it with Dana trying to sabotage ever event, so hopefully Fedor will sign when they go under. Not that I want to see them go under, I just think it is inevitable.

Well in all fairness, Couture, was beating Lesnar in the first, and Lesnar landed a good shot in the second.
I believe that if there were to be a rematch, it would end diferently.
It’s wrong to say Brock “tooled” Randy, because that’s obviously not the way it went.
I see Couture having a better chance against Fedor than Lesnar would, right now.

I agree Madnuts, I think Couture stands a better chance than anybody, very closly with Barnett.

Barnett easily has the best chance! Couture? Dont make me laugh….Couture would get his ass handed to him by top Hw’s like Barnett and Arlovski. Arlovski was in the UFC for 7 years…..ever wonder why Couture never fought him or called him out? He doesnt want it with the pitbull!

Barnett has the best chance but in reality….NO ONE HAS a very good chance at beating King Fedor!

what are you talking about you act like because he survived a round he won the round Lesnar won the 1st and was winning the 2nd

why do people think fedor would sub brock…i see him messing him up hugely on the feet before it hits the floor after that whattever happens…tko/ko/sub is secondary to the the quick brutal onslaught!

If you think Lesnar won the first round when he fought Couture, your insane.
I’ve never heard anybody have that opinion, and I never thought I would.
Man! Are you serious?

Well then you are living up to your name! Mad and Nuts, A couple of escapes does not win you a round! Brock had dominant position, octagon control and aggresiveness! Don’t get me wrong Randy did great considering what he was dealing with but by no means did he win the first round.

One simple reason someone might think Randy has a better chance than Lesnar is the fact that Lesnar didn’t fight one of the best subbmission experts to a draw in a grappling match, like Randy has. Brocks more likely to get subbmitted by making a beginers mistake. Another would be Randy has better cardio (Brock was starting to suck wind in their fight). A couple more would be experience and the ability to come up with a great game plan. Brock didn’t show me anything in that fight that would gaurantee him a victory if they met again. Brock may have a better chance at winning, because of his enormous size, but he also has an even greater chance at losing, because of his inexperience. Guys who leave limbs hanging out don’t last long against Fedor.

Psyqo, I feel that Randy was getting the better side of the exchanges.
And plus everytime Lesnar would get into good position, Couture would get out with minumal damage.
Getting in a dominating position has no effect if your not doing anything while there.

JOHN:
Randy put Barnett on his back the whole time they fought until Barnett finally put Randy on his and did him in. Randy has upped his strenght and wresting since then, plus Barnett is bigger than Fedor, plus Linland even put Fedor on his back.
Point is I believe Randy could take Fedor down and stay on top, of course there is the danger he would probably get subbed, but less of chance as Brock would have at getting subbed. This is why I think Randy has the best chance at grinding out a descision against Fedor.
So what do you think of that? Still think its laughable? Im not being sarcastic I just wanna hear your opinion on where im comin from with the Randy and Fedor thing.

Out of curiosity, what the fuck is a nuthugger? Is it a yank term or what?

Yeah, nuthugger is a ‘yank’ term. It is synonymous with worshiper or sycophant.

I don’t know if this is the meaning everyone goes by, but this is my definition. A nuthugger is a fan who thinks their fighter can do no wrong and even when they lose, they actually won or should’ve won and they will have plenty of excuses as to why. Logic and reason are trumped by there man love towards their fighter. Basically they see their fight as better than they really are. An example would be someone saying, Fedor will destroy AA in the first minute. Sure it could happen, but realisticly Fedor has usually went to decision against top 10 guys like AA.
