Fighting Lifestyle UAE’s correspondent Mihails Kozevnikovs caught up with ‘The Last Emperor’ Fedor Emelianenko (34-4) during his visit to HM Fitness center in Dubai. Fedor is widely regarded as the best MMA fighter of all time. Fedor who is also a 6 time combat sambo world champion, and has won many notable championships in multiple sports including a bronze medal in the Russian Judo Federation National Championship in 1998 and 1999 spoke to us about some issues surrounding him in the media currently.
Fedor Emelianenko addressed Joe Rogan’s recent allegations about the possibility of Fedor talking steroids during his career, in addition he spoke to us about Dana White and why talks with the UFC went sour.

I know 3 fighters really well and they all think Fedor was a fool for turning down the kind of money that would've made him the highest paid fighter of all time... and they think he was a coward for running from the best fighters in the UFC The best are supposed to want to fight the very best fighters out there...but not Fedor...he RAN Then to make him even more stupid he goes out and LOSES again and again to fighters in the lame ass Strikeforce hahahahahaha FUCK OFF YOU IDIOT...you knwo nothing your comment is a unfunny joke

@Fluke in 2010 when he lost to Werdum he was what..34? Cormier/Stipe still kicking ass at 39/37. In 2010 Fedor should have been on top of his game but...3 losses in a row to UFC fighters after which he went back to fighting oldies (Monson), no names or pregnant former UFC champs (shout out to titties Rampage Jackson). Always fun to watch, cool and explosive fighter but he completely avoided the bigger names or paychecks of his prime period.

He may come off as a little reserved, but he seems honest, humble and intelligent. Even if you don't think he is the best fighter to ever compete in MMA, there's no denying that he was one of the greatest ever. Only a handful of fighters deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Fedor.

I can only think of GSP and Khabib but even then they trail so far behind. Nobody comes close to Fedor.

@darbycrash726 3 года назад

@@ZatoichiRCS GSP and Khabib are definitely two of the best, if Khabib would have fought a couple more years and moved up to 170lbs and won there, he might be the GOAT. Because of steroid use Silva and Jones are suspect but the spider was magical his prime. Many uneducated fans will never give Fedor respect or GOAT status just because he never fought in the UFC.

@MikeKay1978 8 лет назад

what i always liked in fedor was his abbility to make a transition from standing up to ground pound to submission and then back again, he exploit any situation which i haven't seen in any other fighter. All other fighter are in a "mode" and it take some time for them to switch over they either do standing up or submission, but fedor, everything is fluent,not to mention that he is good in every aspect. so why people won't train with him is just stupid

@Joe Dirt It wasn't an operating buisness when they bought it they had no offical contracts ever & was being run at a loss for years before Zuffa bought it, they only got a video library from their purchase & nothing more. Several people involved have gone on record saying the exact same story but here you are saying what you "know" when you don't even know your ass from your elbow. & notice you didn't address strikeforce probably because you realized how stupid what you said was about it &how stupid it would of been to simultaneously run 2 direct competitors. Now seriously get a life worth living, you have dribbled some of the stupidest shit I've seen in a long assed time.
