As far as heritage is concerned, fedor is probably the most outstanding heavyweight player in history. He defeated the who's who in the mixed martial arts legend; Antonio Rodrigo nogueira, mirko Crowe Kopp, Flank Mir, Andrei Arlovski, Tim Silvia, Satoshi Ishii, Lei Natuo Sobral, Ricardo Arona, Mark Coleman, Kevin Landman, Quinton Jackson, Gary Goodrich, Mark Hunt, Michael Sonam and Matt Lindland.
When fedor defeated them, some of them were at the absolute peak, while others had a better life. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive resume.
Heavyweights are notorious for not being able to stay at the top for a long time. The heaviest weight division of MMA, a scale competitor, means that only one punch is needed to ensure victory, which means that soldiers have a small error if they want to fight. Nevertheless, Fedo ruled the pride heavyweight with an iron fist. Fedor remained unbeaten for more than 10 years after its controversial loss to Osaka.
Before entering Pride, he had a good performance in the ring organization. During this time, there was almost no quarrel between MMA fans. I am proud that there is a heavyweight division with more stacks and talents than UFC, but no one can overthrow the powerful Emelianenko. Before winning the HW title from Minotaur nogueira, fedor tried to beat great boxers such as Heath Herring and sammy hill.
When mirko was a monster, fedor beat Cro Cop and beat a more experienced striker in his own game. He defeated everyone standing in front of him, including Coleman, Landman, Naoko Nana Ogawa and Ichiro Fujita.
After self-esteem was frustrated, many people hoped that Fedo could join UFC, but this never happened. Nevertheless, when some top UFC heavyweights left the organization, fedor was still waiting. Tim Silvia and Andrei Arlovski are former heavyweight champions of UFC. They left for promotion because of a contract dispute, not because of bad conditions. After they quit UFC, fedor finished the competition in the first round. Fedor ran well, but time finally caught up with him.
Since Bisiau Vilda shocked him at 20 10, he has lost several times to decent boxers and won several times. Against poor boxers and faded legends, his legacy was confirmed many years ago.
As far as fighting skills are concerned, I think he is the best of his time. Of course, with the passage of time, sports are also developing, but I still think that the technology of top fedor will trouble today's top heavyweight players. His attack was unorthodox, but it was effective. His boxing has amazing knockout power. Russian Sambo expert is also a skilled warrior. His top game on the ground is extremely effective, and his yielding skills are first-class. He is a strong man with a terrible explosion speed.
I'm not saying that Kane velazquez and daniel cormier may not be able to beat fedor, but I think fedor's impressive resume keeps him ahead of these boxers in the heavyweight rankings in terms of their career achievements and legacy.
