Why Fedor Emelianenko is the Greatest Of All Time


1. Fedor's Status As The Greatest Of All Time is a Matter of Sports-Wide Consensus

According aSherdog Poll, 40.8% of MMA fans consider Fedor Emelianenko to be the Greatest Fighter Of All Time.
The next leading candidate is Georges St. Pierre with 20.7% of the Vote.

Tough Luck Dana


2. He has beat a who's-who list of MMA Legends and UFC Champions

This List Includes Andrei Arlovski, Tim Sylvia* Mark Hunt, Mirko Filipovic, Kevin Randleman*, Mark Coleman* (Twice),
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira* (Twice), Heath Herring, Semmy Schilt, Renato Sobral, and Ricardo Arona.

*Former UFC Champion

3. He has never failed a drug test

Unlike Jon Jones and Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelianenko has never failed a drug test in MMA or in Sambo
He has took hundreds of drug tests in Sambo and Judo tournaments, in organizations that are clients of theWorld Anti-Doping Agency.

4. Here's a TLDR (Too Long, Didn't Read) Summary

1. 10 Year Undefeated Streak
2. 7 Years Ranked as the #1 Fighter in the World
3. RINGS/Pride HW/Pride 04 GP Champion
4. NamedFighter of the Decade(2010-2010)
5. 13 Top 10 Wins at Heavyweight
6. Beat the Best Fighters From His Era (Nogueira, Cro Cop, Sylvia, Arlovski, etc.)
7. Widely Regarded as the Greastest Of All Time by Fans and Fighters alike

Joe Rogan, aka the biggest hater in the game, actually debates whether Fedor is even the GOAT of HW on his podcasts.

Guy needs to get slapped.
 
The fact that he was a small framed guy who fought at HW is the biggest factor for me.

And he's the GOAT whether we talk about PEDs or not. But Conor is right there with him, a win over Diaz and McGregor is probably the GOAT

Fedor
Anderson
GSP

that's it buddeh!

also props to GSP for getting out the game before he hit a slump like the other two, but he can never be above them because of decision after decision after decision after decision after....
 
Because nobody has ever dominated like he has. Nobody has been as good as a prime Fedor.

I seriously can't tell if you're trolling, being sarcastic or just showing your stupidity to the rest of us.
 
That goes without any saying.

The argument can be made for most accomplished HEAVYWEIGHT of all time. Unfortunately for all the mostly decent fighters you listed that he beat, there's a list at least double that of fighters he didn't face. Primarily because he never fought in the unanimously considered, best fighting organization in the world.

You also didn't mention his losses ( in his prime) by K.O. to a gatekeeper, by submission to future UFC champion, and by K.O to a 40 something middleweight. I won't even mention the Moldanado debacle.

Couple that with guys like GSP and Anderson, who dominated the best competion fight after fight for years in the best organization in the world, and it's difficult to crown him the best fighter ever. Actually it's ludicrous.

Conor's quickly moving upward.
 
"The GOAT" just got humiliated by a UFC reject from a weight division below with a back injury.
