My father is a neurosurgeon with over two decades of experience performing operations on the human brain and spine. When I showed him this fight, he immediately asked me to replay the part where Fedor gets dropped on his head. After looking closer at the footage, I was told by him that an impact like that could easily snap a man's neck - especially considering how heavy Fedor is. Conclusion: Fedor is either insanely lucky or inhumanly robust to not be phased by what Randleman did to him there.
Fedor was asked about this slam at the next Pride event,,,He said he tucked his chin like he was trained to do in Sambo/Judo. It wasn;t a big deal to him. He said he had been slammed like that many times in training and competition....
Fedor with his years of sambo experience and getting slammed thrown from a child.. saved him he relaxed didn't tenses up.. like in judo from 5yr old learning to break fall.. you throwing and getting bounced off the Matt 50 to 100 times each session.. 3 times aweek then getting thrown during randori from bigger stronger more experienced boys .. by the time your in your late teens 20s your body is so used to getting thrown you completely relax and I think .. Fedor being so relaxed during that throw saved him form serious injury.. if that was a boxer that Kevin suplexed they would have been carried out on a stretcher.. but Fedor stayed cool relaxed and simply got ontop and finished with a judo ude garami submission.. sambo practitioners are taking over now in the UFC guys like khabib now Islam both sambo practitioners and both UFC champions one current and one retired undefeated
18:43 Notice fedor aid Kevin in bringing his arm back around. Small some times missed signs of respect. Fedor is a true gentleman. Kevin has great sportsmanship. May he rest in peace.
No ! It's ranked #2. . . . The BEST "slam" in MMA History was whenever Rampage Jackson powerbombed Ricardo Arona. If they were fighting on concrete, Arona most likely would have been killed by that slam
Pride was a game changer! and hell yeah out of everyone that competed for them so many are hall of famers in their respective organizations and so many went on to be champions in the UFC and other promotions just showing that the raw talent and abilitys of those fighters that literally had their careers born in the fire were TRULY the first generation of GREATS I guess steel does sharpen steel
I met Kevin, one of the nicest and most humble people. Wasn't even into training at that point, was just friends with a guy in highschool who's dad owned a gym. Kevin was just a cool person.
45 seconds. From deadly supplecs to fantastic kimura. 45 seconds... And two real men in the ring. R.I.P. Kevin. Be healthy, Fedor. 45 секунд. От смертельного супплекса до фантастической кимуры. 45 секунд... И два настоящих достойных мужчины в клетке. Покойся с миром, Кевин. Здоровья тебе, Фёдор.
The way he was punching his head just to push Kevin to free his hand for a cover and then take it for kimura is beyond fighting IQ, like a upfront thinking in chess. Until it happens you have no idea what he's up to.
If you watch closely, he doesn't hit his head at all; he lands on his shoulders. His neck bends at an awkward angle, but most of the impact is spread out.
@@aaaristosss он думает о том, что только что, этим вот броском, убил человека. И о том, что будет рассказывать в полиции. Заодно пытается понять, что это вообще такое - агония умирающего (тогда соперника лучше не бить), или полноценное сопротивление.
fedor is one of the most ferocious, and deadliest but at the same time the most humble and kind man on earth.... I notice in the end of most of his fights, he never gives any extra... never throws a punch that isn't need.... and here for example, after twisting his arm and the fight is called, he continues to hold and support it and gently brings it back to randlemans side 18:43
Good eye. I don't think I ever fully appreciated that particular gesture or even thought about it much in this fight. Fedor is the best. You might like Mikey Musumeci as well. Same kind of humble yet skillful fighter.
"he never gives any extra... never throws a punch that isn't need" Yeah, other than Ngannou, Dan Henderson or Masvidal (just to name a few). I hate it, when MMA fighters routinely deliver a few extra shots, even though their opponent is already as stiff as a board.
FEDOR !! This man is Incredible , an absolute Warrior with the cool calmness of a highly respectable , Humble man and I can only imagine.. a kind heart. I love his demeanor and see him as a wonderful example , for men of all creeds to aspire to and study.. along with him , the Gentleman Randleman .. without a doubt, also a Fine Man and Beautiful Soul. Hats off to them both.
По мне, так бой постановочный. После броска с прогибом, Фёдор секунды 3 был в прострации, а сверх активный Кевин просто лежит на нём (?) и не пытается ничего сделать (?!?).
Fedor prime was out of this world. Legend got suplex then how he turn the table around in seconds? real humble world-class not wreckless by fame. Against one of the best wrestlers. enjoy because u won't see a complete athlete who is humble and great all around.
Yeah, now we have to listen to that clown McGregor run his gaw'damn moooth every time he has a fight. Too bad Fedor doesn't have any short skinny sons to WHACK that foook'n mick around the cage...
Легендарный бой, как и этот бросок тоже вошел в историю. Просто шикарно! Посмотрев это, ты начинаешь понимать, почему Фёдор, легенда/ император! После такого броска, мало кто вообще в сознание останется, а он ещё и по-быстрому, победил. Бой, очень зрелищный.
Paschan TOPs what about that north-south reversal by Fedor tho. If you’ve grappled before you know that shit is hard to do, especially against a wrestler! Fedor is a beast!
Even with the incredible dump of emotion after such a loss, the show of class and sportsmanship by Kevin (and Fedor) after the fight was just a thing of beauty. Why don't we see that anymore in combat sports? Well, I guess we do once in a while, but we need more of that type of respect. RIP Kevin Randleman. One of the strongest guys to ever do it.
My heart glows seeing these two humble great warriors. RIP Kevin you brought a lot to this world. Thank You Fedor for inspiring many generations of fighters. A true descendant of the Viking race.
Today we are used to hear noise during UFC, NBA or whatever sports event, but that silence after the entrance in Japans PRIDE was terrifying. Amazing atmosphere for MMA.
This was one of the most epic moments in MMA history. A heavyweight getting suplexed like that, and then rolled like nothing and won almost right after.
не понимаю как,но у японцев получалось делать так,что на фоне этой эпической,феерической истории,где Боги воевали с Титанами, юфси выглядит как возня школоты
@@sergeys9119 ты сравниваешь ЮФС с организацией, которая распалась 13 лет назад))) Мы же никогда не узнаем, каким бы Прайд был сейчас. Но мы до сих пор скучаем по Прайду.
@@sergeys9119 конечно изменился, раньше бойцы не были такими универсалами и не были такими хитрыми используя по умному фарму, а также заниматься весогонкой.
@@robertsinner104 По мне стало интереснее. Свой колорит в олдскульных боях безусловно есть, но разница в ровне порой была просто запредельная. Помню те же гиганты по 150 - 180 кг выходили против крутых ударников, пропускали почти все удары. Это не бои, а избиение. Кстати, помня как они терпели пропущенные удары, удивляюсь как Кокляев так быстро лег))..
Randleman pasó de no asimilar la derrota, casi tuvó la victoria en sus manos, a entender que Fedor era el mejor de todos los tiempos y que era un gran honor haberlo puesto en problemas y estar muy cerca d ela victoria, por eso se levanta como un resorte y levanta a un triunfante Emelianenko, mostrandole todo su respeto...y por supuestp el ruso se vió muy sorprendido pero muy respetuosp y agradecido por ese festo de Randleman.
Fedor is the best of all time. I think what else that makes him great is his quiet unassuming manner and his acknowledgment of the opposing side after the fight. That is somewhat gone nowadays.
Да, человек вроде на словах был хороший, но вот такой бросок прогибом всё-таки сделал, хоть он и запрещён был в прайде. Это все могло печально закончится для Федора, но вот он по настоящему хороший человек, поэтому Всевышний хранил его.
How many times you have seen HW making that (18:04) transition? In less than a second he killed any confidence Kevin had from slam. Same speed when he gets Coleman in armbar from below. Incredible. People like HL of that slam, I like how Fedor reacted.
Уникальный боец . Несомненно легендарный Емельяненко. Поражает его скоромность. Нет ни одного подобного чемпиона в истории обладающего таким характером и скромностью.
When I was deployed to iraq 07-09 this badass can out to visit the troops...and not only did he come, he cane out further than most people to our combat outpost! Nothing but respect ✊ for randleman!
Man, it was just if I was young again watching this... the way they conducted the show, the interviews...and remembering that my parents didn`t let watch this `cause was "too violent". Amazing video !! Thanks for uploading it !!!
Randleman slam of Fedor will go down as one incredible athletic feat throughout time. Fedor recovers and wins. 2 incredible athletes and people. Both showed so much class after brutal combat. They are true winners. RIP Kevin you are missed..
You could see how much Fedor was relieved that he survived that slam. I think he knew how bad it could have ended for him. He really respected the hell out of Randleman too.
@@romanpipkin5573 Какие корни? Он состоялся как спортсмен при СССР. Всё что создавалось при Союзе считалось коллективной работой и результаты Спорта не исключение.
@@romanpipkin5573 ну путина логично ненавидеть и российскую политику тоже, но это же не значит что ненавидят русских. Да и причем тут настроения, я же тебе говорю о другом, если ты на это поддаешься и реагируешь, значит ты сам согласен быть разделенным, а зачем это нужно?
Fedor the last emperator ... simply amazing, he try to escape by every bad situation, mantein always a clean mind, is strong like a bear and quick like a tiger. Realy the only one ..
every emperor has his fall! Fedor's is coming mark my words, and when he does, it will be ugly and beautiful at the same time. I'm just waiting for someone to knock him off of his emperor's chair....I can't wait!
@@George-rb6bv Dan Henderson was the 1° WHO HISTORICALLY KNOCKED OUT FEDOR EMELIANENKO !!!!!!!! 💪🤙👌 🤓🤓🤓 But even Henderson said after his victory over Fedor that Fedor is still the greatest one and also favorite one fighter from Henderson !!!!!!! 💪👌🤙 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@George-rb6bv Ryan Bader and Matt Mitrione after Henderson they also got a Knockout in Fedor !!!!! 👌💪🤙 🤓🤓🤓 But they also said the same from Fedor that he still the best one !!!!!! 👌🤙💪 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I went to UFC 92 and had the pleasure of meeting Kevin in a bar outside the MGM Grand Arena. Truth be told I had no idea who he was and we had the best time hanging out and talking and I think he appreciated that I didn't know who he was and so he was just talking to another person as opposed to someone who was a fan. Definitely a night I will always remember
@@spyguythesamurai 100%. We were both with our girlfriends.... He was like " you"d make fine babies".... I had no idea he was "famous" until I saw him inside theconcourse of the arena. I was like "there's our friend" and just at that s3cond he got m9bbed by fans....I turned to someone and asked "who us that?" Thats how i found out. I still have the business card he gave me.
Unbelievable that Fedor was so good. Fedor was so much smaller than the others in heavyweight. Many good ones in PRIDE. No. 1 Fedor No. 2 Wanderlei which was my favorite!
@Xavier Pushkin так он выступал в юфс , но проиграл несколько боёв, дело в том что Федя используется как витрина Руцкого мира ,и все бои его куплены и сам он как боец 0!!
Бросок просто пиздец идеальный с точки техники, но больше в этом захватывает не сам бросок а то как вообще Фёдор его принял, вообще на изи, как будто никто никого не бросал
Randleman was a scary dude man. Big strong dude with an insane motor and a relentlessness that is either he wins or he dies kinda vibe. Not the guy you wanna piss off. He was born a warrior and he died a warrior. Rest well brother.
I'm a newer MMA fan, but I can see why people say that Pride felt so much more special. The theatrics, the huge arena, the entrances, the ring instead of a cage, the actual NAME (not just a number) of the events! It's like the anti-UFC! LOL😂 Dana White said that he doesn't like all this stuff, but honestly if you don't have this stuff, then the pay-per-views just feel regular TBH. UFC events don't feel all that special. Yeah, some of this stuff feels a little WWE, but that's why it feels so grand. Pride knew how to really put on a show, man. It wasn't just the fight that you were entertained by, just like how the football isn't the only thing you're entertained by at the superbowl, it's also the performances which include a bunch of theatrics!! Dana White needs to understand this!!! This is why Pride was winning in the late 90s and early 2000s. Pride probably would've bought the UFC if they weren't discovered for being ran by corrupt people!
Joel Soto - I agree! Maybe they’re making it boring because they want MMA to be taken more seriously like its scientific. In the States, it almost got banned. Now ESPN is partnered. Now MMA is its own martial art. It’s time to relax and put flavor back into MMA!
And it wasn't all trash talk! There was way more respect. I'm sure the Japanese wouldn't have encouraged what goes on with guys like Conor McGregor like Dana does. They wouldn't have put up with it. You can have hype and rivalry without being trashy and disrespectful. It's a shame that it was replaced by UFC because it was so cool.
Эти 45 секунд - лучшее, что было в ММА в принципе. Не фанат боевых искусств, но честно в шоке. После такого броска сделать болевой.. ну это легендарно.
