Fabricio Werdum Elects His Top 5 HW's Off All Time, Includes Himself

[iLikeBirds]

Fedor Emelianenko - He is the greatest of all time, always admired him, always I watched his fights. Fedor always behaved like a samurai, respecting opponents. He speaks little and shows a lot of fight time.

Rodrigo Minotauro - What he did for the sport ... I started to fight for him. It's a lot of race, dedication. The crowd was thrilled to see the overcoming of it. He did a lot for the sport.

Fabricio Werdum - I put myself, but with humility (laughs). My goal is to be the best ever in the opinion of the fans. Without being boastful, without sounding like I'm finding myself. I'm a veteran, I am in history, i've beat the best.

Cain Velasquez - He was champion in wrestling and UFC. Had breed giant heart, always knocked out the guys and have a very difficult game.

Mark Hunt - is a guy who migrated from K-1 to MMA and is doing very well. He has experience, the way he knocks out is impressive. Physically, it does not seem very well, it is chubby, not to mention fat, but the power of his hand is amazing. Fight him is being in danger all the time. He speaks with his eyes, "I'll knock you out."

Ironically all guys that he has beaten. I would put JDS at #4 and Cain at #5, agree with the first three though.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Even if we don't agree with werdums order it's still cool his reasoning for each one, cheers!

 

[91 seconds]

Werdum is the UFC's greatest HW champ and he's got NO.1 right

I have to edit this because of lack of title defenses of Werdum. It's all explained in detail by me on page 5. Why Werdum is probably the greatest UFC champion.

How dare these millenial Sherddoggies try to challenge me with their somewhat primitive points. They're just as good as dead.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Can't really argue with that list.

Id probably have Burnett or Randy over hunt tho

 

[wilKO]

Lol at no JDS. The guy who ktfo him in 30 seconds and has easily a top 5 HW resume all time.

 

[cmw43]

Solid list

 

[cmw43]

Lol at no JDS. The guy who ktfo him in 30 seconds and has easily a top 5 HW resume all time.

I really hope JDS can earn himself a rematch so Werdum can avenge that loss.

I've got a feeling it goes a little different present day.

 

[SaintSoldier]

Cro Cop, Overeem, or JDS should be #5 instead, and Werdum should be #2.

 

[jsbx45]

I think he's a bit premature on the call for himself. Let's see...Ummmm ZERO title defenses yet. He's good and a likeable guy it seems, but come on!

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Lol at Hunt #5

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Replace Hunt with JDS it's all good.

 

[bluesnoopz]

I really hope JDS can earn himself a rematch so Werdum can avenge that loss.

Don't be so sure.

 

[Summoning]

All fighters admire Fedor.

 

[chunglii]

He put Hunt in the top 5 HWs of all time. Fucking LOL

Ironically all guys that he has beaten. I would put JDS at #4 and Cain at #5, agree with the first three though.

This has to be why haha. Replace Hunt w/ Cro Cop or Barnett.

 

[CJohnny]

He said that because Hunt was beating him without even training. Hunt is a great fighter and his current version would be able to beat most of the fighters.

Werdum's top 5 picks for best Heavy-Weights of All Time! The brazilian press and journos have been having a field day in Curitiba. All the talk is UFC 198. Many of the brazilian stars have been having a lot of exposition, and rightly so. Here is one of the interviews from our Champ Werdum. I translated it.

Fedor Emelianenko - É o maior de todos os tempos, sempre o admirei, sempre assisti às lutas dele. O Fedor sempre se comportou como um samurai, respeitando os adversários. Fala pouco e mostra muito na hora da luta.

FEDOR EMELIANENKO - The biggest, baddest and best of all time, I've always admired and watched his fights. Fedor always behaved like a samurai, respecting his opponents. He is very soft spoken, but shows a monster inside when he fights.

Rodrigo Minotauro - O que ele fez pelo esporte... Comecei a lutar por conta dele. É muita raça, dedicação. A galera se emocionava ao ver a superação dele. Ele fez muito pelo esporte.

RODRIGO MINOTAURO - He has done so much for the sport... I started fighting because of him. He is all heart and dedication. The people here in Brazil always got emotional when seeing him fight, because of all that he has been through. His fights are a testemant of willpower. He has done so much for the sport.

Fabricio Werdum - Eu me coloco, mas com humildade (risos). Meu objetivo é ser o melhor da história na opinião dos fãs. Sem querer ser prepotente, sem parecer que estou me achando. Sou um veterano, estou na história, ganhei dos melhores.

FABRICIO WERDUM - I put myself in this list, but as a humble man (LOL). My goal is to be the best ever in the eyes of the fans, but without being cocky and I don't want to come across as a douche. I'm a veteran of the sport now, i'm in history books of MMA, and I beat the best.

Cain Velásquez - Foi campeão no wrestling, no UFC. Tinha raça, coração gigante, sempre nocauteou a galera e tem um jogo muito difícil.

CAIN VELASQUEZ - He was a wrestling champ and a UFC champ. He had a lot of grit and willpower, he always knocked the dudes down and had a very difficult game to deal with.

Mark Hunt - É um cara que migrou do K-1 para o MMA e está indo muito bem. Tem experiência, o jeito que ele nocauteia é impressionante. Fisicamente, não parece muito bem, é gordinho, para não falar gordo, mas a patada dele é impressionante. Com ele, é perigo o tempo todo. Ele fala com os olhos: "Vou te nocautear".

MARK HUNT - This dude migrated from K-1 to MMA and he did it really well. He has the experience, and the way he knocks people out is amazing. Physically he doesn't amount to much at first... Let's say he is a little chubby, so to not say he is a fatty...LOL...But his hands are tree trunks, it's very impressive. When facing him, you're in constant danger. His eyes speak to you always: "I WILL KNOCK YOU THE F*** OUT!". Scary!

 

[FadeLess]

"Fedor behaved like a samurai"

Gotta love Werdum

 

[cmw43]

Don't be so sure.

 

[BreadnButter]

That's what is most important for me when talking about the top 5 of all time. It's the impact they left behind during their career more so than statistics.
