Undefeated for 10 years in stacked HW DivisionGOAT

Love DC, Stipe, GSP, Jones, Matt Hughes,Anderson Silva, et cetera... But Fedor is the Real G.O.A.T

UNDEFEATED FOR 10 YEARS

"Get on my Level!"

Would love to see pre usada prime Fedor in the ufc at that time and how long he would have reigned as champ. Prime Tim Silvia got wrecked.  

GOAT. 

In before the Jones fan boys crash the party lol.

Definitely

Fedor did make a mistake by not going into The UFC to fight Brock in his prime. Fedor would have won…

Ice Cold Igors Right Hand -

!!!

Jones has a heck of a run, but not a 10 year run:)

I think you can say the same about DC?

10 years and undefeated at heavy. 

Fedors run was great. It has been shown that he isn't the best heavyweight or even top 3 but he has had the best run of wins of any heavy to compete. Does that make him goat?

Fedor and DC are in the conversation for sure

Fedor got beaten by Bigfoot, and a glorified middleweight. He isn’t the GOAT, though I once believed he was. 

13 years later and we still haven’t seen a heavyweight MMA fight with the level of striking and athleticism displayed in Crocop vs Fedor. I suspect the same thing will be able to be said in another 10 years looking at the trajectory of the divison.

Conor would KO Fedor 

Fedor had better competition than both DC and Jones.

Neither fighter has had a match of the caliber of Fedor vs. Crocop. or Fedor vs. Mino.

A Super Charged Tank, ruling in the jungle that was Pride, knocking off contender and pretenderwithout discrimination. That was Fedor Emelianenko.

Fedor was lethal with his hands speed and his ring generalship, using his Judo and his stand up to confuse and sting his opponents. And once in danger, the Russian great pounced with a ferocity not often seen in professional MMA.

Fedor was the perfect size, not too big and slow, or too small and capable of being overpowered. He was an all terrain, attack vehicle, armed with heat seekers, laser guided and ground warfare capabilities. Fedor had the best combat strategy computers on board, and they ran at light speed. He was a cerebral fighter with a mental focus unparalleled in MMA. He was unfazed and undeterred. It was his will over the opponent, and we would launch a barrage of attacks with precision and impact, and the conflict would soon after be over.

What a treat to have seen him compete from the very beginning, and to watch sail off into the sunset (far too late IMO but none the less).

Some say GSP is the “GOAT” Fedor would have used him for a tooth pick, and then washed him down with some Vodka. What an era that Pride era was, and the reigning emperor was Fedor.

I have Fedor with Cain and with Cormier in terms of 3 of the very best and he’s with Cormier in terms of greatest. I wont say all time, I’ll keep it to 25 years. Fedor was amazing.

Kudos for the trip down memory lane.

Bravo! Great post

True prime Cro Cop & Nog > Rumble, Gus, & Bellator reject Volkan (sorry Volkan) 

DCs biggest win was Stipe considering Stipe was the champ. I don’t remember anyone else being the champ that DC beat (off the top of my head)

Agreed in that highlights of Prime Fedor show a speed, athleticism and well rounded game that hasn’t been equaled.  DC is the closest.

He has fought well beyond his prime and fair or not, it’s damaged his legacy.

The Lion King -

Conor would KO Fedor 

Haha, this dipshit running around vomiting stupid on multiple threads.

I remember when trolls tried...

Fedora was great he beat all the hw in pride but he was feed a lot of cans in between 

Fedor, GSP, or DC. Each have a claim to the GOAT and I'd be ok with any one of them (Jones is disqualified).

That being said, if you want to pick one man that would beat every other fighter in the history of MMA..........that is Daniel Cormier. And for that I give him the nod as the GOAT.

Agreed with this 100 percent.

Watch the Cro Cop fight. And then tell me that the sport has “evolved.”

All such comments can’t comprehend Father Time and the concept of “Prime”. After his Crocop victory Fedor seems to become very religious and his outside interests made him not train as hard anymore. At the highest levels, it will catch up to you. Even in fights he won before his 3 losses in a row you could tell he wasn’t the same sharp tactical genius.

So yeah, after a loooooong while he wasn’t the top dog. Point is, he was for a long damn time! And in that run GOAT status is justified for sure. Just like Tyson lost to Buster Douglas and Holyfield but pre-jail Iron Mike is still revered as one of the best evaaaa.
