Fedor Emelianenko vs. Kevin Randleman

[TheMaster]

A slam with evil intentions.

Does show why in so many sports a throw is considered the end of the fight....
On any surface other than a soft mat, Randleman won that fight and Fedor is KO'd, hospitalized or worse....

Randleman was a good guy in general but that slam was just brutal.
Fedor was asked in an interview if he had ever had the chance to so a similar move to an opponent and he said "I have had the opportunity, but not the desire to do such a move".

Except when the goat uses a textbook breakfall to survive one of the best slams ever.

I remember Fedor talking about the moment in the fight as he was being suplexed by Randleman while flying in the air, Fedor said he realized he was about to be dropped on his head so he intentionally relaxed all the muscles in his neck to avoid breaking it.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....

Watched it live as possible in America.
I ordered those ppvs 2 months ahead of time.

It was like “How is anybody going to beat this guy??” Really. He was the bmotp. It changed, but fedor was the last clear one.

I watched it live with Dish network. I thought I was watching an unstoppable god fight in fedor. Insane.

Crazy fight! Randleman was a scary MOFO.

this is the SLAM of the century! I mean Both, Fedor's and Kevin's weights went straight into his neck! Holly fuck it's a miracle Fedor isn't confined to the wheelchair. RIP Legend KR!

The sweep Fedor uses to get out from Randleman is incredible

Randleman had zero ground game. Era of specialists. Neither would be top 10 today, but entertaining fight nonetheless.

Different eras, different ways to do things

If Randleman was still alive and an MMA fighter in 2021, he would be a more well-rounded fighter because he would train the way fighters train these days.

Shit is impossible no matter how many times i watch it. Cgi!

 

[Shaddows]

I am still amazed he not only survived the slam, but right after reversed and won...


...anyone claiming Fedor is not the GOAT durely did not live through that!!!

Randleman outmuscled Fedor badly in that fight, he was so fucking strong. But in the end the better fighter found a way to win and outsmarted him.

Randleman was a monster. Scary, and very gifted guy. RIP

And from what I understand, he was also very down-to-earth and super fan-friendly. RIP.

Trapped Kevin's arm between his hip and thigh as he posted up. Amazing technique.

Imagine knowing you're gonna get mega slammed on your head and still being able to relax...

W Randleman it was more mental.

He would just revert to what he knew best,regardless of what he was training in. He trained w Saul Soliz and was destroying people w his hands whenever he hit them,but he just abandoned it and stopped going to him after the loss to Rampage. Honestly that fight was competitive,and he should have stuck with it but Just couldnt get out of the wrestler mentality.

Check out this guy coming in here and pissing all over himself in front of everyone.

We should find him and supplex him randleman style.

Man, Randleman was the closest to beating Fedor imo out of all of Fedor's fights, he was a beast.

although Fujita almost KO'ed Fedor.
