he says it like feyodor
ranier wolfcastle - he says it like feyodor

Linger Longer -Carl Weathers - It is Fyodor you just sound stupid saying it instead of Fedor which is more or less the accepted English pronunciation at this point (by him and others)
It's like when people suddenly have spanish accents when they are pronouncing the names of their favorite mexican dishes
I think you are wrong, but this made me lol,
I think he is right, but it still make me "LOL". Perfectly stated Linger.
beatbum - The rule of thumb to not sound like a total bag of douche when pronouncing names in other languages:
Pronounce it in the language you are speaking. For example, "I'm really excited to watch the (Féy-dore) fight. {pay attention to the accent being on the first syllable}
The accent is on the first syllable, when pronounced properly as well. FYO-dore. Would that kill you? No one expects you to perfectly pronounce all the sounds or use some cheesy Russian accent.
Just to put the proper sounds in the proper order.
So here's a rule of thumb:
If you can't be bothered to do that you're a gigantic douchebag.
when i hang out with fedor i just call him emelianks
Yuh-mel-ee-YANen-ko Fyo-dr?
D_S_A - its an e with 2 little dots over it technically

Do not suddenly switch languages in a sorry attempt to show how "international" you are: "I'm living in the Vajeh de Sahn Ga-brrriehll. It's pretty warm out there."
I generally believe that the right way to pronounce somebody's name is however they pronounce it themselves.
self-editing
Feurdor.
I think all this debate is beside the point. "Fedor" is just Russian slang for the man's binary birth name, 1011000010101, anyway.
Alvin, Simon, Fyodor!!!
Doot doot, do doo dooo doot!

This one is win.
UG linguistic circle, lovely ;o)
I believe that if your first language is English, you are very likely to never be able to pronounce Fedor's name entirely correctly. That might be true for any non-Slavic language actually. Let's just stick to Fedor...
Attila - If his name were Fyodor, it would be spelled Fyodor, dipshits. Yes, this means you, Ariel Harwani.
Even worse are the people who still call him Emelianenko Fedor. LOL
Its Fed-Ro. Now fuck off you hack!

Actually you are the one that sounds like a xenophobic douchebag with this advice,...that is if you live in a cultured and diverse city. But when in the rest of the country you are probably correct.
Unfortunately this means if I go to Chi Chi's in Alabama I need to practice saying Qeusa-dilla with the hard l's and chiminey-chonga so I can order correctly. Fucking embarrassing IMO.
Speaking of pronunciation, I've never heard any non-Brazilian pronounce the name of a Brazilian footballer with an "H" instead of an "R," yet we following this rule of local dialect religiously in MMA, while ignoring many others.
A million ankles.
But Randy Couture is still pronounced "Handy," right?
