Does Fedor Emelianenko have the legacy in MMA that Alexander Karelin has in Greco?

[Robespierre]

QFT.

Karelin was on a shameless soviet PED's programme, .

It was the same that where USA athletes and fedor took part in.

Karelin is in a league of his own.


Fedor himself said that Karelin would have been the GOAT if he did MMA. I see no reason to not believe that. If only he liked hitting people

Who knows? MMA and Wrestling are different. Is Fedor's mma legacy as big as Joe Montana's in football, or Jordan's in basketball, or Nolan Ryan's in baseball? Legacies are subjective and can't be compared, especially in different sports.

Karelin is in another league.

Agreed. Karelin is to Fedor what Fedor is to Rousey. Dominant, but in different talent pools.

Meh. You act like he slammed Andre the Giant in front of 93,000 Karelimaniacs in the Pontiac Silverdome.

Karelin would have thrown Andre out of the ring.
