Brock Lesnar on Fedor: He's the greatest Champion in his own little World, I hope he retires
Posted on June 23, 2010, 05:47 AM by Anton GurevichSpeaking at the UFC 116 Media Conference Call, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar made it crystal clear how he feels about the legendary Fedor Emelianenko. Answering on the question about never having the opportunity to fight "The Last Emperor" before he retires, here is what Lesnar had to say:
"Good for Fedor. I hope he does retire. He's the greatest champion of all-time. He's the greatest champion ever, of all-time, in his own little world. Good for him. I can beat him... I can beat absolutely anybody."
Lesnar is currently 4-1 in his MMA career, with a victories over Min Soo-Kim, Heath Herring, Randy Couture and Frank Mir. Brock Lesnar will square off against Shane Carwin on July 3rd in Las Vegas, almost a year after his last fight against Frank Mir at the milestone UFC 100 event.
Here is some of the best bits from the yesterday's media call:
Lesnar on Batista: "Get in line, everybody [Dave Batista] and their dog wants to get into fighting. Next question. We're talking about a heavyweight championship fight, not some wannabe."
Shane Carwin on Fedor: "I think it's unfortunate that he didn't join the UFC, but I'm not concerned with anything Fedor's doing right now. I got Brock ahead of me and that's all I'm focused on. The UFC is the NFL of mixed martial arts. The best of the best."
Lesnar on his time at the Hospital: "To wake up every day, being on all them drugs and not be able to put any food in your mouth, yeah you definitely take a different approach on life. You realize there's nothing more important in life than your family and you really find out who your friends are. I felt like I was on my death bed, I really did, because I was very sick. This illness, it kills a lot of people and it's one of these things I never knew I had.
At the time I didn't even know if I wanted to fight again. Everything was in the air, because I had lost so much weight. I thought I was going to have to have major surgery and have part of my colon removed. That would have been a two-year process for me to even come back from. So I really feel like I'm a cat with nine lives. I think I've got about eight left."
Lesnar on Carwin: "I know what my credentials are. Shane knows what his are. I think mine outweigh his and I think my hand's going to get raised on July 3. And he probably feels the same thing. But that's the beauty of this fight game. We'll have to see what happens July 3."
There's a lot of similarities, but he's a little better looking than I am. I'll give that to him and that's about it."
Carwin about never going to decision: "I'm a never-give-up person. I want to get in there and I want to fight, that's my mentality and my attitude. My fights don't go to decisions and I'm proud of that."

LOL BEAT FEDOR ;D that actually made me laugh quite a bit.. he hasn't fought any real opponent and already has 1 loss, what a funny guy.. on top of that he hasn't even fought in the past 18months.. I hope Carwin beats this retard, atleast Carwin is respectable.
well i'd like carwin to beat lesnar but you suckng fedors ass is always on the ride of all your comment. please stay in the real world kid.
@ ogobska
well Fedor gain his respect he deserves it!
Lesnar is just a clown! here we got Lesnar living in Fantasy land
saying his the best fighter! Fighter when he barely fight!
the Heath Hearring wasent even a fight it was him riding another man for 15 min thats all! his record is 4-1 what a joke!
its really patetic from **** lesnar to think this is the WWE!
like Pridefc said at least Carwin is respectable! and a true fighter!
12 KO's now thats a Real Fighter!
cant wait for july 3 so Lesnar gets Knock the **** out!!
i think the sharps and weaks are all in the real world ogobska. Seems the educated and uneducated clash on mma sites. Please try and become educated.
Brock sucks! Brock is an idiot. He is so overrated! He is scared to come to the Strikeforce to face Overeem!
@azzika i see but i'm not a guy who sits on the computer and always add comments to argue, i know fedor's achievement and all of that but please enough on the fedor band wagon we know he's worth there is nothing to argue or such. So as an mature individual there is none to talk about. And
@Rigo as seen on your profile i can see that you are really not that educated, well i can read on how you perspire just to put up words its like constructed words from a 5th grader, well it's a good excuse to say that you didn't know how to spell because you're not an american or something its just where you're mentality sits in. By the way i am a doctor specializing on general surgery who also does muay thai and jujitsu every weekend, i am not surprise that you are always active on this website.
i can see that your name sounds like crap that might as well tell how educated you are. i don't need to apprehend and argue each and everyones opinion since we are entitled to it. By the way just like research we can never have the conclusion until we have the data through methodology, but we can have hypothesis or predictions with their statistics but to make it more simple WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHOSE GONNA WIN BETWEEN FEDOR VS CARWIN OR LESNAR or ANYONE UNTILL THEY FIGHT!
Seriously ogo you should have left well enough alone and not gone ahead and further humiliated yourself. Obviously your feelings were hurt enough for you to actually go into the guys info to find "dirt" on him to to use since you obviously lacked any real arguments.
Also writing in caps really doesn't make what you are saying any more intelligent.
hahaha you got it Rigo here we go
brock is a beast he may have got an early title shot but the guy is seriously talented. Brock has fought bought better competition than Fedor in the last few years. Brock last three fights Mir,Couture,Herring Fedor's last three were Rodgers,Arlovski,Sylvia. At least Brock is in the firing line if he beats Carwin he could face Dos Santos or Valsquez. Brock attitude might stink but at at least he's fighting the best competition, what's the real reason why Fedor ain't fighting the best Brock has got millions in the bank and the UFC found a way to sign him.
what you have said is 100% fact. fedor sucks. brock is king of the heavy weight world.
why the hell would you want to end another chance I get to see MMA?
Wouldnt you rather see 2 cards a month or 1 a month. You org haters making forum names as such do nothing to help the sport.
Why is it necessary to broadcast your feelings about Strikeforce to the whole world? Did Coker bang your girlfriend?
Use your brain if you have one and make a decent name.
By the way if you are also IHATESTRIKEFORCE another new guy registered yesterday....dont be playing more than one name in lowpicks either, Im watching you
endstrikefarce threw this comment in at the opportune moment, 1 hour after all the fedor nut huggers have come and gone. crying with their poor little weak clicks.
He banged my girlfriend **** scott coker
Putting lipstick on your hand and a wig is hardly having a girlfriend there BO
Mir,Couture,Herring
rodgers and arlovski are better than herring who fedor already beat the shit out of and actually finished. arlovski was # 2 when fedor beat him. couture was a LHW with a 6 inch reach disadvantage...and mir ****in sucks he lost to guys like marcio cruz and ian freeman
brock IS a beast...it would be good to have him around if your truck gets stuck in a mud
What? Do not Heth Herring, Frank Mir and Randy Couture count as real opponents?
I was amazed when he destroyed their asses.
your dumb fedor sucks. fedor hasnt had a real opponent since he fought Big Nog in like 2004, and big nog sucks, he cant buy a win in the UFC. Brock would kill Fedor, first round TKO no doubt about it. Brett Rogers, a fat guy with man boobs that use to work at Sam's Club broke Fedors nose and almost knocked him out. what do you think would happen if he fought Brock or Shane he'd get beat easy. Frank Mir, Brock Lesner, Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem can and would beat the snot out of Fedor. Fedor ducks fights and only fights bums and has beens in a minor league organization. if you think he is the best you dont know shit about mma or fighting, you just believe the hype, keep drinking the just and watching shitty fights.
nice 1st sentence...."your dumb" give sht and youll receive it as well
You must be young, Ill refrain from hammering your ass and yes this is being nice.
you have nothing to say because you know I am right you boyfriend Fedor sucks and is weak he is no longer a real fighter. he lost his pride when he realized that there are real athletes out there that actually want to fight him and can beat him, he stays away from the UFC because he knows he would lose everything he worked for after his first fight in the UFC. He'd get beat and forgotten in the blink of an eye if he ever stepped up and became a man and fought the real heavy weight champ Brock Lesner.
UrHype is the man
who has fedor fought???? hes dodging the ufc for a reason he would be fighting guys all better then him fedors only fought 2 decent fighters big nog and cro cop.... and he won both fights by decision...wtf?? what happened when both cro cop and nog went to the ufc......both of them were finished by knockout gonzaga killed cro cop with that head kick and nog lost i think his first 3 fights by KO or stoppage or whatever........fedor knows the same will happen to him he couldnt even finish them hahaaha if he went to the ufc he would get knocked the **** out by lesnar carwin velasquez dos santos.....fedor is not the best in the world and he keeps proving it by dodging the ufc..the only fights he wants to fight are against half ass fighters......his next fight werdum.....who was cut from the ufc for getting knocked out in his last fight!!
fedor is not good at all get off his nuts
Neither of these guys are my favorite fighters. I'll watch it, but not my favorite.
Just a little respect for these guys would be nice to see sometimes.
Instead I see homos named Skip2MyLou2 with a hate fetish for Fedor.Getting all excited making his post.
Of the 2 guys Fedor is calm polite humble and doesnt have to hype anything. Brock has the tools to win, hes very new to the sport and could get beat by Fedor.
Brock could get a takedown and pin Fedor and possibly win by strikes. Im not to stupid to see this go either way.
Dont worry if your here banging away at Fedor, your a Brockhugger and if someone wants fedor to win, they are Fedor huggers.
who has Brock Fought? 1 good a aponent that beat him the first time. Wether a fighter is good or not at heavy weight anyone can knock out anyone . having 30 fights means 30 different ppl can knock you out. having 3 fights like Brock means nothing.
Overeem can beat Brock
That is some ignorant shit, what happen to Herring and Chuck when they went to Pride? And Big Nog took such a massive beating by Fedor both times that he got old very fast. The Big Nog you have seen in the UFC is nothing compared to Big Nog in Pride, and same thing for Cro Cop.
Also Fedor has pretty much only fought top 5 (or at least 10) guys since the death of Pride. I mean Fedor finished Herring when Herring was the UFC champion yet Lesnar somehow gets credit for beating the same guy after he was washed up?
No, but he is right.
Actually after your first sentence I quit reading,,,, I have no idea what your talking about. I dont care if Fedor stays in MMA or leaves.
Youve done nothing but talk crap and put things down all day, try saying something besides the crap your spitting out
Keep hating Fedor! I hope Carwin kills Lesner.
Fedor has said on record he will fight any UFC guy, he just does not want to be owned by Dana, I know it's hard to take that there is life outside of UFC but get used to it. Carwin and Brock are deciding who is #2 HW in the world, and Brock can carry on dreaming in HIS own little world.
Isn't it funny how all these Fedor haters can barely make an understandable sentence? Some of these guys really give the term, "speaking out of your ass" a face.
no he never said that dumbass......gimme the exact quote.....retard fedor is scared he knows he will lose get off his nuts.....if he fought in the ufc he would lose.....probly every fight he wouldnt even be ranked top 10 heavyweights in the world if he went to the ufc
and Lesnar is the best in Dana's and Brocks own little world.
Fedor SUCKS!!!
Fedor SUCKS!!!
compared to who? YOU? lmao, your a terd compared to ANY MMA fighter.
just wait and see..... you gunna be surprised
Carwin wonna win not just mentally and look at Carwin commend about Fedor with a class and so smart
Before you just blantly disrespect fighters, do some homework. Lesnar is an elite caliber athelte, and competitor, as is Fedor. Fedor is on a now 27 fight win streak, meaning he started MMA, 3-1. Lesnar is on a 3 fight win streak and has a record of 4-1. How can you benefit his lone loss to a cause for him being a terrible fighter when he beat the man he lost to in quite a definitive fashion? So please pull your head outta your ass and respect any person willing to get in the cage.
I bet you were sweatn bullets when Rodgers almost beat him.....
if he keepsfightn like that Brock would crush him......I hope with the
Werdum fight the Champ comes back like he use to be....but Im taking
the odds though....
At least Carwin is man enough to face the top competition. Just like Lesnar is.
brock lives up to every stereotype you can put him in... its quite hilarious
I see Brock is drinking BudLight! What happened to CoorsLight? Probably Dana talked to him and he got scared in his little world. What an idiot to call Canada a third-world country, which has one of the best standards of living. He needs to read a book for a change.
emm...not to be disrespectfull, but ... it's one thing to "lose" by doctor's stoppage due to a cut from an illegal elbow, and another by knee bar, screaming like a little girl...
Fedor has never trully lost!
Definitely real opponents.
frank mir is head and shoulders better then Fedor and every opponent Fedor has ever fought. the only people he's really lost to are Brock(who is the best in the world at 265 and a total freak) and Shane who is just like Brock. Randy is one of the greatest if not the greatest fighter ever, 5 time champion of UFC(not some shitty Pride or M1 league. and Herring who fought Fedor as well so if he isnt good then Fedor isnt good.
I mentioned herring because rodgers looked like a beginner against overreem. and don't forget Fedor really wanted to fight Big Foot Silva
I was amazed that Randy did so much better than Mir or Heath. The fight was competitive. Heath is one of the bigger guys in the sport, and he got his skull broken on the first punch of the fight, got dropped by a knee to the body, and was victim to maybe the most one sided beatings in MMA history. That guy was probably bleeding internally. He dominated Francis on the feet and on the ground. Francis was just falling over every time he attempted to strike with Lesnar. And Francis is the guy who just KO'd Nog...
People are letting their negative opinion of the person, skew their opinion of his abilities as a fighter. Because they're emotional little children really. If you watch his fights, you see he's thrown some great punches, a great standing elbow like Ander Silva almost KO'd Randy. Francis was seconds from going out in the first fight, no honest person would call that a legitimate stoppage and point deduction.
Fedor wouldn't beat Shane or Lesnar, or JDS, or Velasquez, or several others. That's why he is wasting his time in the minor leagues.
Of course they count as real opponents but by no stretch of the imagination are they top 5 opponents. Fedor has in the last 3 years fought a lot tougher guys then Lesnar has, to say otherwise is just silly.
Fedor couldnt do what Mir and Cain did to Big Nog and he had three chances he isnt the best in the world fighting scrubs and UFC rejects like Werdum. Maybe Werdum will tell him how bad Dos Santos' uppercut tasted then hel decide to stay in Shitforce until he retires
Mir and Cain couldn't have done that to Noguiera if Fedor (and all the other guys he fought) hadn't softened him up. Big Nog's style of absorbing abuse has taken its tole.
Pride a shitty league ?!
damn you're dumb
Mir isn't any where near as good as Fedor or his top opponents. The Big Nog that Fedor dominated would have digested Mir. Mir is good, but not that good. Go to a gym and train. Learn about the sport. Listen to what the fighters at your gym and in the major orgs say. Then come back with something intelligent and well thought out. Fedor is flawed. He has very sloppy boxing. He also has a super human sense of distance and timing which has prevented anyone from exploiting this small hole in his game. His ground game is second to none.
Riiiight ChokePeople... You mean the Nog who fought in Japan looked better than the Nog who fights in the UFC. Just like almost every single other fighter who looked great in Japan, and mediocre in the UFC.
All you can do is point to the few exceptions, and ignore the fact that the vast majority of Pride fighters could not make the cut.
Take a few hundred punched to the face and tell me if your chin goes. Didn't you say on another thread that Chuck's chin is gone from all the abuse he has absorbed? I guess it is different when those punches happen in the UFC.
this has to be one of the stupidest statements i've come across. I bet you have school in the morning or have just started watching mma. Either way you don't seem very educated.
This is the reason why I can't stand Brock. He just talks about people like he is better than everyone. How can he disrespect Fedor? Their "credentials" don't even compare. And how ironic is it that he is talking crap about Bautista? I know he doesn't have the wrestling background of Brock but they both had the same last job haha. I understand people who like his talent but how can anyone like his attitude? I guess talent is more important being a respectable person these days.
Every fighter worth his weight in his own ego has said something to someone about some other fighter in a disrespectful manner. It happens every time a mic is put in their face. Brock is just honest and tells it how HE SEES IT. you cant really get mad at him for thinking he may have a chance in hell to beat fedor, if i heard that Fedor would tear my head off and use it as a medicine ball....that would be worse than him sayin that he could beat Fedor. Hes just speakin his mind if u dont like it then dont read what he says.
Fedor SUCKS!!!
I'm allowed to read it and not like it. I have my opinions just like you and Brock. I haven't went on every Lesnar thread and talked trash about him or anything like that. I just can't see how he has so many fans when he acts like that. To ME there is a difference between keeping it real and just being flat out rude. There are different ways to show confidence but... I guess he can show it however he wants too.
GSP, Fedor, Carwin... these are three of many fighters who do not trash talk.
It isn't just Fedor who Brock is disrespecting with his BS opinion, it is also the majority of the mma community including A Silva, GSP, Bas Rutten, Shogun Rua, BJ Penn to name a few and many many fans alike who all rate Fedor as #1. He is the falsest champion ever being fast tracked to title as Dana's pooch. Lets see if he can go undefeated for the next 25 fights and then compare him to Fedor.
HAHAHAHA!! incredible how poor is Lesnar...! at least he knows that he will NEVER be like fedor....!
F-UCKYOURSELF DUDE!!!
Fedor SUCKS!!!
Lesnar is currently 4-1 in his MMA career?
HAHAHAHAA!! with such of record you are not allow to talk to much, you WHITEPUSSY!!!
haha white pussy r u on crack? Pussy? he'd chew u up and spit u out like a chicken wing u prat
Unnecessary racist comment, and basically the same exact thing you said last time this subject came up.
You know Fedor is White too right? no reason on disrepecting Lesnar´s Race, as a person he is one giant Jerk we just saw that but there is no reason for you to go to that level...
Lets stay away from the racism, eh.
Nice
Fedor hasnt had a real opponent since he fought Big Nog in like 2004, and big nog sucks, he cant buy a win in the UFC. Brock would kill Fedor, first round TKO no doubt about it. Brett Rogers, a fat guy with man boobs that use to work at Sam's Club broke Fedors nose and almost knocked him out. what do you think would happen if he fought Brock or Shane he'd get beat easy. Frank Mir, Brock Lesner, Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem can and would beat the snot out of Fedor. Fedor ducks fights and only fights bums and has beens in a minor league organization. if you think he is the best you dont know shit about mma or fighting, you just believe the hype, keep drinking the just and watching shitty fights.
Fedor SUCKS!!!
Choose your words carefully Fyodor you no spelling little btch
Jealousy looks pretty bad on you. Dont wear it.
Some people here I see today need a good azzwhippin
Yea Fyodor is a simple bitch... Just gotta treat him like one...
Yup, he's immature and looking for attention, anyway he can get it. He wants to get a rise out of anyone and everyone that he can. That kind of behavior doesn't belong here.
LMAO!!!
He's just looking for attention, he gets his jollys from making people mad as many people online do, the best thing to do is ignore him. I do, this is my first and last reply to him until he can say something with different intent
App. nobody on this page has ever heard anybody talk about other fighters....i mean come on...every fighter talks shiit about everybody...Brock just so happens to be The world heavyweight champion and he has a ego the size of texas..Who dont in the UFC....Hell i beat if you were that big and the Heavyweight champion you would say you could beat anybody to...Ami right or am i right...Or would you jsut be a pussy and Tell the world that "THE LAST EMPEROR" Could whip the floor with your blood. Tell me what you would do if you were brock...HUH...Ill wait!!!
i meant bet not beat...My epic fail for spelling....to early
I think the real question here is does Lesnar beat Carwin and then where do either fighter go, the Fedor question is a great one but unless they are pulling the swifty on us it looks like he's not going to face the considerable talent of the UFC, don't get me wrong, Fedor is an AWESOME fighter, but so are many of the UFC boys, i think as a fight fan, that it would be a horrible outcome if Fedor never fought a Lesnar, a Carwin or a Cain ... yeah look each promotion has their killer bee but really do fight fans want politics? Nah I think we ALL want the best fighters fighting each other, if that means that someone (and i do mean either side here) has to eat some humble pie then hell, stop messing around, listen to the people (on both sides) and lets get it on!!!
I think it is very interesting that Carwin is sticking it in Fedor's face in a more discreet manner by saying the UFC is the best of the best, and no-one is giving him any crap about it at all.....just an observation.
I've also said the same exact thing as Carwin, that the UFC is like the NFL of MMA, and received many "weaks" for it......
Brock is just being Brock, much like Kos, Sanchez, Bisping, Hardy, just to name a few. He's definitely made more enemies than fans, but give the guy a little credit. He'll have to prove himself and back up all his crap talk when they fight, so let's see what happens. Carwin has talked some smack too, so let's not let him off so easy either...he's just more intelligent the way he goes about it.
Carwin has also said in the recent past that if he and Fedor were to fight all he would have against Fedor is a punchers chance.
I remember him saying that as well. I'm sure that was his polite way of saying that Fedor is a great fighter. If Carwin and Fedor were to fight however, Carwin's opinion of Fedor would change immediately, and I'm sure Carwin would feel confident that he would beat him. My only point being that most fighters talk smack to some degree. It is just part of the pre-fight game. Lesnar just takes it to another level, and is not as professional about it as Carwin, which in a lot of cases causes fans to overlook any real talent that he has, downplay it, and just hate the guy. There's no question that Carwin has better fight statistics than Lesnar, but Lesnar is the champion whether we like it or not, until someone beats him.
Carwin is the real engineer and hes talked professional to be a
champion
What Credentials I was the champion of a fake wrestling show, or my incredible record of 4-1 and I tittle shot after a 2-1 record. Please, Carwin has a 12-0 record, he does have credentials...

Brock hopes Fedor retires because he heard a rumor Fedor might actually come to the UFC and he is hiding in his closet, rocking back and forth and sh^ting himself in fear of the prospect of getting KOd with a single casting punch. It's kind of funny that the guy that is going to KO Brock admits that all he has for Fedor is a punchers chance while Mongo makes ridiculous comments about being able to beat anybody in the whole world.
your dumb, Fedor got offered 60 mill to come to the UFC and he said no. Why? because he is a bitch and knows Brock would end his life. Fedor is a fat little guy that knows some shitty sambo and has bad striking with kind of strong hands. Brett Rogers broke his nose because Fedor couldn't defend against his strikes. Brock would break Fedors face and ego. Brock would rip Fedors legacy in half. Fedor fears Brock he begs his management to make up other stupid reasons for him so he dosnt have to fight top competition. Fedor is no longer a fighter he is just a fat guy who use to fight pretty good. he cant compete.
Well you're a doodie head.
Just a fat guy who beat 3 top ten ranked opponents in his last 3 fights and is #1 ranked on most mma sites and nearly half of mma fans have him p4p greatest of all time. He may no longer be the best in the world, but until he gets beat that assertion cannot be made.
Just saying Brock is in the UFC the BEST of the BEST, and Fedor is Strikeforce sayin M1 i dont want 2 got to the UFC, hand me my passifier... who did you say was hiding again?
to all brock haters out there,,wake up fools brock is right he can beat fedor ,,i'm sure that fedor can't handle the sheer speed and raw power that brock posseses,rodgers had fedor hurt with his ground and pound,,and rodgers ground and pound isn't even that good if lesnar ground and pounds fedor he might put him out
don't hate me this is just my opinion
Everyone knows Brock has a legitimate shot at beating Fedor. I think Fedor has a chance of beating Brock too. Everyone acts like they are so smart in picking Brock over Fedor. Like that's really going out on a limb.... Duh! Of course he can win. There is around a 50 lb weight advantage!!! Does anybody get that? I bet you can take any middle of the road welterweight and he would kill Aldo. Take any middle of the pack middleweight and he would beat Edgar.
Brock had trouble against Randy. He was close to gassing out and losing. I give him a 2 % chance of ever beating Fedor. Carwin has a chance but Fedor would probably beat him too.
trouble??? he hit Randy once Randy dropped and Brock hit him with 37 hammer fists in 13 seconds! Fedor would be lucky if he lasted 3 minutes in the cage with Brock. he is fat slow and weak. almost lost to Brett "I worked at Sam's Club" Rogers.
Randy was owning Brock until he got caught. Brock was turning bright red and panting.
Lesnar turns red as his different muscle groups start to work. Because he's light skinned. He was still fresh after that fight, and if you think he was being dominated on his feet, then you should smoke less crack.
He almost KO'd randy with a standing elbow. He knocked him out with a blow that was only glancing.
Name Fedor's first three MMA opponents without looking it up. Everyone can name Lesnar's.
That's why he was gasping for air, right?
He could have easily gone 5 rounds.
Lesner has only had 5 fights. That is a ridiculous comparison.
Brock cuts down to 265 and walks around at about 300 Fedor goes in at 235 thats he is slower weaker and dosnt have as good of a clinch and grapple game. Brock would rip him apart.
Fedor has never been KOd and has only been rocked once. He is also one of the best grapplers on earth. Go to a gym and learn.
When was Fedor hurt is the Rogers fight? It was a little cut and possibly a broken nose. That is nothing.
Lesnar is a better wrestler than fedor but if Lesnar screwed up just a little but, he could get creamed by Fedor's ArmBar 5000.
If they stood, Fedor could knock Lesnar out, but his chin has never been tested before..
Fedor was rocked by Fujita and came back to win by rear naked choke in the first round. His chin is solid and not worn out by abuse.
dude Brett Rogers sucks he is a C class fighter and Fedor got hurt by him and couldnt do anything on the ground to him. what do you think would happen if he fought Alistair? Overeem would beat Fedor in the first round TKO. Fedor is done. he is no longer a contender or a champion. he isnt even in the top 5 p4p.
interesting note:
Boxing is a DEAD SPORT. no one gives a shit.
Vladimir Klichko and his brother suck there is no one to fight so they just sit there with the belts. kind of like Fedor, fights no one and has beens and never was's and says he's the champ, but hes just a chump. like you.
the kiltchko bros aer ukrainian
they tried giving him 60 million he said no. they said 30 mill for 3 fights he said no. he is just scared. its not UFC not putting there money where their mouths are you idiot its Fedor being a bitch and not taking the best fights against the best fighters. he is in shitty strikeFARCE and is ducking the only real competition he has there in Alistair Overeem
Do you really believe they offered him 60 million? Have you any proof, and anything Dana says cannot be trusted. 60 million seems way too much by any length of the imagination given it was a few years ago now when the offers were on the table. I've seen dana asked repeatedly in interviews and he refused to say how much was offered, probably cos he didn't want other fighters coming asking for the same. I could be wrong, if I am can you provide a link proving your claim.
Well said my friend
I'm not a Fedor fan whatsoever, but what has Brock accomplished to be talking about anyone in that manner?. I respect and admire Brock's confidence, however he is starting to sound a little ****y IMO.
* Co c k y *
Lesner is probably gonna be 4-2 very soon
id like to see how he acts after that
brocky is a "little" pathetic
fedor would rape him in the octagon
Brock is not "little" at all... and Fedor is to afraid to go to the UFC because he doesnt want to fight any good fighters he did in the day but that was in Pride where Japanese fighters fought ohhh so much, and Fedor actually hasnt fought as many heavyweights as everyone thinks hes has he has fought a middleweight before he has fought Sobral who is a LHW, and alot of people he has fought now have Negative records he isnt as great as everyone thinks he is and i would put my money on Mir even anyday o beat him.
Fedor has said he wants to fight Brock. He says he would a worthy opponent. Why would he say this if he was scared? The guy has fought bigger stronger guys than Brock and shown them to be entirely 1 dimensional fighters just like Brock is.
Who has he fought thats stronger than brock?????
Kerry Schall, Hong Man Choi were similar, Zuluzinho was defo stronger and bigger.
He'd have some room to talk if he actually had to work his way up through the ranks like other fighters. Fedor fought 13 times before he ever got a belt and how many times did Brock fight? 3 times? Brock talks big but it's only because of his fame that he has gotten where he is, not talent. And I'm sure every fighter agrees with that.
And yes I'm aware Brocks talented, but most MMA fighters are.
"He's just a big son of a bitch, that's all there is to it."-Randy Couture
Why is there a big picture of Fedor on this article tho? Lol, all else aside, opinions and such, why?
Fedor comparing himself to Lesnar i got the look of king of HW the best P4P than you and i observing your commend folks
If i remember Lesnar was the one screaming to the Ref like a litlle girl to stop when Mir had his leg in first Mir fight we never saw that hapened to Fedor.after Carwin KO's his ass Lesnar gona be history any way
Apparently your retarded because idc who you are you know lesnar won that fight he was beating the **** out of Mir and then one punch to the back of the head and Mazaghati stops it it happens all the time after Shogun caught Liddell he jumped on him and hit him in the back of the head 3 times watch it lesnar should be 5-0 its the truth but hey he showed how beast he was by putting Mirs arm behind his own head and beat the **** out of him EVER SEEN FEDOR DO THAT!!!
i've never seen brock knocking out cold anybody
i've never seen brock receiving and incredible suplex and win with a submition right after that
i've never seen brock facing anybody bigger than him
and if brock should be 5-0 (which i don't believe)
then fedor should be 31-0
so yeah...
But he did make a dude do a backflip....So....
So im weak for speakin the truth...i mean come on...heath did a backflip after gettin punched....WEAK my ass
It was a backward somersault at best LOL
HAHA...that it was...oki change it...Backward somersault.....there that sounds better
It was a fractured skull, smacktard.
F u Polesucker
It looked better too.
I agree with Brock on this one, Fedor needs to go to the UFC and prove hes the best or just retire.
Good point bro Rogers got more Ko's than Carwin and JDS.after Overeem koming back like monster i tell you SF HW are better than UFC HW i think Overeem can wipe out UFC HW devision on his own.In last two years we still waiting for UFC's top 4 HW to face eatch other insted of people arguing about Fedor joining UFC
and i think you might be retarded....
and chuck lidell took out overeem, so what
Don't let Overeems destruction of Rogers blind you. His resume isn't the strongest and in the past has crumbled whenever his jaw got tested. He has definately improved no doubt but to say he'dbeat all the UFC HW's is stretching it. That said, UFC HW's resumes aren't exactly as good as you'd think. The only comparable fighter to Fedor in terms of top ten competition is Brock.
Nobody who has a clue would compare SF and the UFC, in any division.
I think you might be drunk.
BTW this is one of the rare times that mokoko makes any sense.
Brock Lesnar or Shane Carwin are without a doubt the most challenging match ups for Fedor at present. Lesnar obviously possesses a huge advantage in size and strength, though arguably not in punching power, over practically anyone.
What Fedor has is an even huger advantage in technical refinement, and mental discipline. The reason that Fedor has never been legitimately beaten to date is that his focus, will, humility, and tenacity, are unmatched. I think Brock's fight with Couture, who has similar character traits to Fedor IMO, at least in terms of his focus and calm composure in fights, shows that skill, experience, and a clear mind can at least take you a little way against Lesnar. What Couture lacks is the very multi-faceted game of Fedor. Fedor has the ferocity to knock Lesnar out or submit him if he can survive a bit of clinching and wrestling which I think he could. That punch that he knocked out Rogers with would also knock out Lesnar if he could find the moment to land it. Fedor has a much, much stronger mind than Brock, and has shown the world that the mind can be much more important than huge muscles and athleticism in fighting. Thus far, Fedor has always managed to turn around every bad situation and overcome any adversity. Brock is too angry and emotional and it would likely back fire against such an psychologically austere opponent.
How can you say Brock has no punching power? One small right hand managed to knock down Randy Couture where he then proceeded to deliver 37 hammer fists in 13 seconds for the TKO. One small right hand sent 240lb Heath Herring stumbling backwards over his own damn head, not like he tripped, he just got hit with a XXXL size fist with 290lbs of force behind it. I think people are all forgetting that Fedor is a small dude, Frank Mir shadows over a guy Fedors height an weight, and Mir was held down with Brocks right hand while the left mangled his face, he was man handled by Shane Carwin in the first round. Guys Fedors size won't just easily knock out a guy 265+lbs..that just doesn't happen. But i am convinced that one clean shot from Brock would make any man stumble an fall, its just science, the human head an brain can only take so much damage, same with the jaw....Brocks has an over abundance of power that he will keep for the next 20 years of his life.
dude Fedor hasn't fought anyone in his career except Cro Cop and Big Nog. both of them cant get a win streak in the UFC they cant compete with the talent in UFC and neither can Fedor. he is fat and slow, every heavy weight in UFC has just about the same if not more power then Fedor. Matt Mitrione has more power then Fedor. come on dude. Brock almost made the Vikings D-Line and you think Fedor has more power then him? Really?? Shane Carwin has knocked out everyone he has fought and Fedor got his nose broken and almost knocked out by Brett Rogers, he use to work at Sam's Club man, come on. Fedor is done, hes just a story its hype, if he fought in the UFC he'd get beat by almost all their heavy weights. and as for the mental game, you dont know these fighters you arnt in their heads so dont say what or how they think dont talk about things you cant know about.
You are so uneducated. Nog and Cop are not the only names he has fought and beat. Enjoy watching Carwin and Brock fight for the #2 spot next week.
haha....and you talk about lesnar nut huggers...wow...did you blow Fedor this morning too?????
Very nice comment.
And we know nothing about each fighters MIND. You can't say Fedor has a greater mind just cause he has been doing this longer..for all you know Fedor is shaking in his boots in his mind an just wants to get out of MMA before he has to get hurt for real in the UFC. Brock has competed for years in NCAA wrestling DIVISION 1...anyone who knows anything will agree, division 2 is a joke, oh and thats the division Shane Carwin wrestled in...so you can't even compare the two's amateur career...Brock is a superior athlete then Fedor, and he isn't afraid to fight anyone, so that makes him a superior man as well. ANYONE who just hates Brock Lesnar just cause, probably got bullied in school or always was picked on or somthing, some people just dont like to admit it that he is right about what he says. Grow up..get over it.. Brocks a real heavyweight.
Wow, the way your replying to your own posts the rest of us can just sit back and enjoy listening to your expertise. What a treat!
I don't know who you meant that for but the reply system on this site can jumble up posts and make them confusing. I bet whoever had one post after another had probably replied twice to the same comment and appeared together so it appeared a reply to theirself. also your own reply gets moved further away from the post it was intended for for every other reply that comes after.
Again, Fedor said he would like to fight Brock. Scared really? How dumb is your statement. What he is scared of is being owned by Dana and treated like his personal money making machine not a fighter or a human being. He has got in the ring with bigger guys than Brock, i bet you never once been the ring, anyone who has knows it takes balls.
fedor hasnt had a real opponent since he fought Big Nog in like 2004, and big nog sucks, he cant buy a win in the UFC. Brock would kill Fedor, first round TKO no doubt about it. Brett Rogers, a fat guy with man boobs that use to work at Sam's Club broke Fedors nose and almost knocked him out. what do you think would happen if he fought Brock or Shane he'd get beat easy. Frank Mir, Brock Lesner, Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem can and would beat the snot out of Fedor. Fedor ducks fights and only fights bums and has beens in a minor league organization. if you think he is the best you dont know shit about mma or fighting, you just believe the hype, keep drinking the just and watching shitty fights.
You are a piece of sun dried shit! Fedor's nose was never broken in that fight(only cut), and I don't know what fight you were watching but Fedor was not even close to being KOed. If you watch Fedor's career against strikers, he allows them to impose their will to decide the best way to finish them and then he does. He fought Nog in his prime as he also fought Cro Cop but you could argue that they both suck now. Fu(k Fedor's hype, ive been following MMA since about 2000 and he fought the best in the world at the time as UFC had NO HWD. Lesnar isn't even a fighter and he's the champ, he's just a gorilla that was given an early title shot against a 215lb Couture. So YOU keep drinking and watching shitty fights in the UFC as they lay on top of each other like a sleep over in a jail cell. Biatch!
you know nothing. the best fighters and athletes fight in the UFC everywhere else is a joke yea back in the day pride has cro cop and nog and Fedor but that was it there were 3 real heavy weights. right now there are 5 people in the UFC that could beat Fedor no problem and one in StrikeFARCE. Brett Rogers did break Fedors nose so your dumb and dont know what they hell your talking about. Also Brett Rogers is a C class fighter, just like Fedor, he got TKO'd in the first 3 min against Alistair and Fedor had his nose broken by him, a guy that use to work at Sam's Club. keep drinking the juice and believing the hype that Fedor can never live up to. short, fat, and slow he'd never compete in the UFC
Fedor defeated Hong the giant guy much bigger and taller than him and get interviewed ,he said willing to sucked up some bruises on face to find a chance to win very clever
I would love to hear where you get your info cause you sound like a retard! Fedor wins the most, and you cry the most! ESF P4P biggest bitch!
Did someone forget to close the door to the asylum on his way out?
Were you'w been last 10 years man locked in Dana's celler.Chek the ranking Fedor is the only HW who fights only top 10.Carwin's first top 10 fight was Mir Same thing about Lesnar.JDS got no top 10 fight yet.Cain Big Nog who is finished old man none of the UFC HW are prowen not ewen in UFC im waiting last two years that Cain,Carwin,JDS and lesnar fight eatch other
your crazy and stupid. Fedor hasnt fought anyone in the top 10 since 2004 Big Nog, so idk what your talking about. he ducks real fighters. SF has 2 good fighters Alistair Overeem and Nick Diaz thats it. Fedor fights has beens and never was's you dont know shit about MMA. your just a dumb-ass who thinks guys punching each other is cool
@ ENDStrikeFARCE ...hilarious handle, man.
3, Melvin Manhoef.
Do you know what rankings are? Because your statement suggest you haven't a clue what you are talking about. Might i suggest you check what the rankings of Fedors last few opponents were at the time of the fight and then maybe check out the same for the UFC HW's as they tell a completely different picture than the BS in your posts. Maybe it should be ENDufcFARCE if your logic and reaction was to be correctly applied.
There's no comparison between the competition in the UFC versus the competition outside the UFC. Everybody knows it.
Lesnars is 33 years old his first fight 2007 Kim Min Soo 2-6.In 2008 when Mir had his leg he was screaming like a litle girl we didn't forgrt this he is 1-1 with Mir.Heath and Randy are washed up fighters man wath a record this is Lesnars big world WOW.Look at Lesnars face when Mir had his leg he didn't look that tuff and strong he was screming
Be fair, Randy would still present a problem to any HW. But yeah, Lesner is still pretty unproven.
It sux that Fedor isn't in the UFC its sux for every mma fan. The thing is,well, it's hard for me to read all this bs about the last emperor. I stated to watch mma in the year 2000, I'm 24 so 10 years Ive been watching this shit and I can say that I've seen almost all the fights(major leagues) and nobody I mean freackin nobody is as exciting to watch as Fedor. Is the new HW devision in the UFC hybrid compared to the old Pride guys? I guess so, they have better camps and newer training methods but if it wasn't for the Pride generation they wouldn't exist. Fedor is the Gretzky or the Jordan of mma will there be anyone better? Of course!!! It's the cycle of life. Mohammed Ali is considered the king of boxing before him was Rocky Marciano. If you put any of them against the top 100 fighter of today they will get destroyed. Thats how life goes it progress and evolves. My point is that hating on Fedor is like hating on M. Jordan. Think about it he is the smallest HW always gets put in very dangerous positions and still turns things around and overcomes his adversity. Now that is why we all love or hate (for the stupid the rednecks) him. Show me one actual Hw who has all this qualities and shut up. ( dont say Cain even though i believe him to be the closest to what Fedor is) Oh and by the way all that hate just feeds him, makes him stronger so go ahead rednecks, hate!!!! hahaha
How anybody can say that Brock Lesnar is a joke and isn't a worthy champion etc etc is beyond me. The facts speak for themselves, i absolutely hate the guy and i want Shane to knock his head off but the guy is most definately a phenom and a tough fight now for any HW on the planet, Fedor included, ok, he got submitted but it was his first MMA fight fgs, against a submission specialist, and look what happened to Mir in the re match. To count Lesnar out is just plain stupidity. Fedor isn't doing himself any favours either by fighting the likes of Rogers and Werdum when there's fighters out there like Lesnar and Carwin calling him out, as well as all the other top HW's in the UFC that he simply doesn't want to fight imo, protecting his supposed p4p best (lol) status and his undefeated record. Fedor is good, he's just not THAT good imo..........
Lesnar is a powerful athelete whose size and strength enables him to win fights, but Mir proved he is beatable and IMO is a posterboy champion fast tracked because Dana is a business man and having him as champion is good for business. At some point though he is going to have to face all the other top guys, Carwin being the first, and should he get past Carwin then there's a few good challenges he'll have to overcome. I personally feel he is too 1 dimensional to have any longevity as champ but then fighting twice a year he may last a few fights but wont last more than 3 years tops if that. So if he is still the UFC champ in 3 or 4 years then he will have earned that title, until then he is just Dana's bitch.
I'll say it again. Lesnar will be KTFO in the first round. When Mir hit Lesnar with that awkward knee, Lesnar was dazed or as he said " I seen some tweety birds" and that wasn't even a full dead on knee to the head.
Carwin hits harder than anyone in MMA today. The first punch that connects with Lesnar's head will be the beginning of the end for Lesnar and his hype machine.
im not hating on the man its just a shame that he's riding the coat tail off this great sport while other's work their butts off to get where they are, he never fought any greats just broken fighters of course i was easy to turn things around, alister overeem is still a little under par with the HW division in the UFC who has he fought to be in the rankings
@ T99
Why is AO not signed to the UFC? He's a good looking HW; he'd fair well in the UFC.
If you or anyone else knows the answer to this question, I'd like to hear it.
Cheers,
Wing Chun
the last part was just my biased opinion, like you im also waiting for an answer
Fedor is great - sure. However, recently he's been fighting UFC cast-offs and wannabees.
I think for anyone to consider FE the best, he has to fight the best - and he'll only find that in the UFC.
FE's problem - if he loses outside of the UFC his stock plummets. Every time he gets into the ring, he's rolling the dice with his P4P status/myth. Should he get the bubble burst outside of the UFC, DW can claim he's washed up and that's that.
If FE's management had any brains, they would take that into consideration and make a deal with the UFC, now. To lose inside the UFC...no big deal; not right off the bat. To lose outside of the UFC...that's a big deal.
If FE really wants to retire, because he's not into it - cool. No one would ever say that he wasn't a great fighter and a legend. However, if he wishes to continue fighting, then he's making a really bad business decision by continuing down this path.
Bite the bullet and come fight the best and the baddest the UFC has to offer and remove the question mark that will forever hover over his head, for not getting into the Octagon...making millions...and proving...that he really is the best HW.
Arlovski wasn't a cast off, he had refused contract so he could and fight the best and didn't wanna be Dana's bitch no more. He was top 4 / 5 in rankings at time of fight. What list of UFC HW's have a plethora of top ten opponents on their resume?
Why can't Dana not be so greedy if he is the fan he says he is and allow his fighters to fight outside of UFC? Oh wait, he is a businessman, well then he must be a businessman 1st and a fan 2nd. The UFC could easily survive any fight against Fedor against any champ, it is established with many top names. It wouldn't hurt them and might do them wonders should Fedor lose to a UFC HW.
arlovski's commercialability in the UFC wasnt goin aywhere with the company, goin for a 3rd title shot look too desparate so he made the move to split. same reason why Franklin move to catch weight and LHW only differance with him is he didnt want to leave he UFC
Actually he refused a contact offered. At the time he was a top 3 ranked HW you fool.
which is why he split
couldn,t have said it any better. only the real fans of mma see this
fedor will kill em all. lesner hasn't beaten anybody but old as randy. if randy wouldn't have ran from fedor, he would have got his old ass knocked out by fedor. and so will brock.
i see Lesnar has a bud light in front of him? I wonder if they paid him or if Dana put it there to piss him off. I hope Carwin knocks him out. Then we will have a UFC champ with some class again.
zzzz. **** i bet brocks soooo annoyed at hearing about a guy he'll never get to fight as if he was the ultimate x-factor. No wonder he doesn't pay attention to the idiots, he'd kill someone if he had to deal with the retards online that can't stop talking about this guy.
Brock seems to be the one who can't stop talking about him. Plus when you are regarded as the best ever by many top fighters and current champions like silva gsp and rua then he will be talked about. But i guess respectable opinions don't carry no weight with the haters.
zzzz. **** i bet brocks soooo annoyed at hearing about a guy he'll never get to fight as if he was the ultimate x-factor. No wonder he doesn't pay attention to the idiots, he'd kill someone if he had to deal with the retards online that can't stop talking about this guy.
whats the big deal about Fedor. He will be remembered as one of the greatest MMA artist of his generation. Dana White is to blame for not signing Fedor. All he has to do is co-promote one fight, just one fight and the greatest HW fight in MMA will make so much money Dana would not know what to do with, everybody wins. He's not fighting the best competition argument is weak, it's going to take a couple of years for the UFC's HW division to stack itself, we don't know how good those guys are yet, until they all fight each other. There are new guys coming up every year, you can't expect a fighter that has been fighting for years to challange every new guy that comes into the ring with a perfect record to prove that he's still the best. In 5 years Brock is going to be spent they we'll all call him a bum and no good, but at the moment he's number 2, same for Carwin, JDS, Cain. Fighters get old, deal with it. I don't want to see Chuck Liddell's, fighting when the should have stopped 3 fights ago, it's sad, all the great loose their last fights it's the nature of the sport. Sure if you put Brock vs Fedor in their prime it's a different matter, but timing is everything in the sport. I'm hoping Fedor will have atleast 2-3 more fights, thats about a two years. He's already slowing down a bit and won't be able to compete at a high level for much longer.
he's never competed at a high level before. that what we're all griping and moaning about. we(at least i wanna see if he's tht good) wanna see him cement his himself as a "real" p4p fighter all he has to do is step up. as for the answer for the question for this thread its all just wishfull thinking we'll never see him in the UFC.to see who the greatest fighter is is just what the whole sport is about not excuses
That is such a ridiculous statement to make. Most top fighters and current UFC champs all say Fedor is the best. Why would they say this about a guy who according to you has never competed at a high level? And why has he been ranked #1 for years? Never competed at a high level, lmao.
would you consider Werdum a top notch fighter?
The only other thing i would add is that while i have a damn good idea how hard Carwin can throw a punch (something like a rhino on heat id imagine) you would have to be some kinda crazy mo fo to have Brock punch you in the chops ... seriously there's a lowkick poll for ya ... who would YOU (the fans) rather have smashing your face in if given the choice?
I would rather have Brock, as i would survive it. Carwin would snap my neck.
If you are a reall MMA and not just a UFC fan, then you know what makes Fedor so great! He's doesn't need to come to the UFC to prove himself, he's already proven himself!! The man has 32 wins and only 1 loss. The one loss he has happened 10 years ago when he was just starting out and he later avenged that loss by BRUTAL knockout! 25 of those 32 wins have been by KO, TKO, or SUB. He's the WAMMA HW Champ, Pride HW Champ, Pride Grand Prix Champ, 2 Time Rings HW Champ, 12 Sambo Champ, Former Judo Champ....it would take forever to list all of his accomplishments!!
All this talk about "who has he beaten?" is just ignorant, UFC biased, rambling! Well, here's a short list of who he's beaten....
Bret Rogers: When he faced Fedor he was ranked in the HW Top 10 (#7 to be exact), was undefeated and had KO all of his opponents but one. Fedor gave him his first lost in knockout fashion!!
Andrei Arlovski: When he faced Fedor he was ranked in the HW Top 5 and was a former UFC HW Champ. Fedor put him OUT COLD!
Tim Sylvia: When he faced Fedor he was ranked in the HW Top 5 and was a former 2 Time UFC HW Champ. Fedor completely overwhelmed him!
Mirko Cro Cop: When he faced Fedor he was the #2 HW in the world, was knocking everybody out, kicking everybody's heads off and everybody was saying he was unbeatable. Fedor dominated him!
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Big Nog): When he faced Fedor he was ranked #1 Pound For Pound in the world, #1 HW in the world, the Pride HW Champ (later became the UFC HW Champ), was tapping everybody out and people thought he was untouchable. Fedor dominated him and busted him all up. Then beat him up again in the rematch!
Mark Coleman: When he faced Fedor, he was a Top Contender, former UFC HW Champ, former Pride HW Grand Prix Champ
Kevin Randleman: When he faced Fedor, he was a Top Contender, former UFC HW Champ and Former Vale Tudo Champ.
Then there is Ricardo Arona...Semmy Schilt...Babulu Sobral...Matt Lindland...mand the list goes on and on!!!
The guy has a 10 year body of work that proves he is the best HW and one of the best Pound For Pound fighters in the world at this time! Not sure how you can deny that this guy is a beast! If he's not the best heaveyweight, than who is????
I wonder the same thing myself. I guess some are bedazzled by UFC and don't really know much about mma.
Agreed
were talking quality fighter's.
were talking quality fighter's.
So anyone who was a champ before Brock came on the scene wasn't a 'quality fighter'? Is that what you are asserting?
your right, not all, Silvia couldnt finish arlovski the second time and rolled around with Monson to get a W, not exactly a stellar champ but Randy surprised the hell out of me twice. Champs come and go n its the one who leaves the best impression on the fans and leaves on his own terms. Fedor is a great fighter just dont like the way he irks the fans around by contemplating retirement. id say hes got about 3 or 4 good fights left in him would just like to see him fight the the top guys cuz i dont think strikeforce has a lot to offer him except AO thats it
o yea Brock is an ass but he's still the champ. im a Carwin fan win or lose,
Do you know how busy fedor has been throughout his career. He could retire tomorrow and his body of work would take any current mma artist years to surpass. He don't have to prove anything to uneducated fans.
For all those saying he's scared.
http://www.mmaroot.com/fedor-emelianenko-vs-brock-lesnar-interview/
And i wonder if this recent remarks is Dana's propaganda. Reason being
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XPTX3tvP5g
i hope carwin beats brock but i cant see it happenin
Ston3pony is that you?
This is definitly and interesting debate between the people that have watched MMA for the last 10 years and those that started watching it 3 years ago or less. Obviously anyone that have watched Fedor for the last 10 years see him as a god while the others see him only as Fedor who doesn't fight in the UFC. Of course the truth is much more complicated then either of these two extremes.
But to me this is like saying that you could argue that Tyson was not the world n1 before the Buster fight. Buster was far from the best opponent Tyson could have fought at that time but that didn't even begin to change that Tyson was n1.
Half of you are ****ing morons. Fedor is financially stable and is a HUMAN first and FIGHTER second, which means he doesn't want someone like Dana White, who is simply a promoter and hyper, to start bossing him around, telling him to fight, when to fight and all that shit. A man with his credentials and training isn't afraid of no man.
It's purely business. And the best fighters aren't in the UFC. Dana is good at his job and has 99% of you fooled into thinking UFC is the king. UFC is the best advertised, but to say the best are only in the UFC is borderline retarded. That statement alone discredits all the hard working men out there working towards a MMA fight career.
Dana heralds Jake Shields as the shit right now. And gee, I wonder where he found him? A lot of the fighters in the UFC aren't genuine fighters, they are wannabe rockstars who want a fat check and some exposure.
But as for Brock, this dude has "playground bully" syndrome. He thinks hes invincible because of his size and with Uncle Dana nut hugging him and hyping him out to be the best heavyweight in the world, only adds fuel to the fire. He's big and powerful, but so is a SUV and they run out of gas rather quickly.
Fedor is a warrior. He has the exact same face in every fight; calm and collected. You get that face when you are confident in your skills and abilities. And Sambo is no laughing matter. I'd take a Sambo base over a wrestling base any day.
In the end, this is MMA and anything can happen at any given time. I don't favor anyone, because you are only as good as your last fight in this game. But to say Fedor sucks is juvenile. To say Brock is the best is moronic.
Brock may be a fighter, but he is no mixed martial artist. First thing you learn in martial arts is respect and honor. He has neither, he's just a disrespectful over confident guy. He's bad for the sport in my opinion, an embarrassment.
Brock is a retard. I hope Carwin will kick his ass and everybody forgets that he ever was a champion of the UFC.
Yo Brock,
click on that link and do scroll down, scroll down scroll down, and scroll down oh dont get tired you r so strong and big guy so go on scrolling down here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_Emelianenko
I am sure you would not talk again about Fedor!!
Brock is just towing Dana's anti Fedor line in order to promote UFC and try and discredit Fedor.
In ineterviews past he has been respectful about Fedor, it seems strange for him to change his view so drastically all of a sudden when Fedor hasn't bad mouthed him at all.
Sadly judging by some posts it has some negative effect which Dana has to be given the credit for as he has achieved what he set out to do by misguiding the undereducated mma fans.
There is certainly arguement to be had about who would win between Brock and Fedor, but to rubbish Fedor's career and achievements and contribution to mma is pathetically sad.
Its funny reading all this posts "fanboying" Fedor or Lesnar, I mean, you guys are friends of them...? Do you get payed for this...? Insulting one or another is also funny, shows youre very brave behind a computer...
Anyway, back to topic. I thinks its pure speculation saying whos better, Fedor or Lesnar, only bey fighting would you be able to see that. The fact is that Fedor has more fights than Lesnar, although hes the only fighter in the world who can choose his opponents, I mean, fighting Werdum...? Really...? Why dont he fights Overhem...? The man has challenged him plenty of times, what kind of fighter "runs" from a challenge, specially if his the "best"...? Ive followed this sport since 93 and ive seen what Fedor can do. Hes fast and agile for a Heavyweight, hes BJJ is good and his striking as well, but the Heavyweight division his changing. Nogueira, Couture, thous were Heavyweights of the past, carrying 235 pounds (like Fedor). Lesnar and Carwin need to make the cut to 265, they are much heavyer than that. This will be the new trend for the class and IMO Fedor is too "small" for this guys, thats why he carefully picks hes fights: Rodgers - a brawler, little to no technique; Werdum - a decent enough grappler who has a tendency to try and strike which will be his downfall against Fedor...
Fedor will prove his the best when he, at least, defeats Overheem and becomes the Strikeforce champion, till then hes a fighter whos countrolled by his country, choosing his fights to make Russia look good...
well said, i just wanna see great fighters fight thats the bottom line we pay enough to see them. no nut hugger here...
