FEDOR EMELIANENKO

Did anyone else start to cry a little bit?

I am overwhelmed with emotion!
I woke our sleeping baby from the kitchen where I was watching while doing the dishes hahaha. Ol' Daddy here was pumped!
 
That ref was pushing his way in after 3 punches. He didn’t flatten, he didn’t flail...I just would have liked to have seen it more decisive.
At first I though so but the replay showed how hard the uppercut landed and the first of those shots on the ground. Good stoppage as Mir has tons tons of damage over the years and didn't protest at all. He looked dazed.

I have rewatched the finish a few times.

Frank's arms were stretched out and his hands and elbows were lying on the canvas, he didn't try and defend himself.. got smashed with four hard hooks and wasn't doing anything.

Fair stoppage..
 
On the other hand, Chael beat Shogun, Wand and Rampage. Fedor is soon going to be added to that list.

And Chael is a MW.

Chael is 0-2 against Anderson Silva [PRIDE].

<{cum@me}>

btw PRIDE vs. UFC only counts fighters from the same era.

Don't you even fucking dare mention some 23-year-old guy who started MMA after PRIDE ended.
 
"Mur is gunna beat all Nog, Mirko, and Fedor heeeerp duuuuurrrp"


PRIDE NEVER DIE!
Lets not get too excited. If Mir had the chin of Maldododo, this fight would have took a different turn. If anything, we learned that even an in shape Mir is chinny as fuck.
 
Fedor badly needs to work on his striking defense. In all honesty, if Mir hadn't gone to the clinch after he clipped Fedor early, he could have steamrolled him.

That being said, this old Fedor fan is a happy man.
 
I was yelling at the tv going crazy with goosebumps. Fucking tremendous finish.
 
Good news for Sonnen, Fedor is a better match up for him than Mir.


I think Sonnen could win this whole tournament, and then super fight with Stipe/Cormier.

I assume you're trolling, but in case you aren't: there is no way in hell Chael beats Mitrione, who is about 95% likely going to be one of the two men in the final.

Wanderlei almost flattened him, calm down, Fedor has way better Judo/Sambo, he will throw Chael on his ass and KO his bum ass back to his fantasy WWE fake touch butt wrestling, the guys promos are so cringe worthy, im almost embarrassed for his bum ass
 
Mir has got what it takes to beat every guy in this tournament including Fedor, but he’s so inconsistent.
I thought he was going to come out a winner tonight being 260+ and looking better than he has in years, it was obvious he was taking it seriously.
Fedor took what he had to offer and flipped it right back on him though. What a fuckin stud.
 
My thoughts watching that fight:

1. Holy hell Fedor is deteriorating.... He looks like a fat WW now. Skinny chicken legs and arms.... Whatever fight is about to start

2. Mir appears to clip Fedor immediately and Fedor drops or slips.. He made no real attempt to dodge the punch, and it honestly looked like he never even saw it.... I'm scared to think that Fedor is about to be finished/get dunked on by the supreme striking of K-1 Mir.

3. They recover, and seem pretty evenly matched... Mir is out muscling Fedor in the clinches, but Fedor hit a beautiful Judo toss to dump Mir on his back. I'm concerned that Mir, a guy specifically known to struggle against people who where/are actually athletic, seems to clearly be the stronger guy overall, but thrilled that Fedor was smart enough to not just dive into Mir's guard. Pride Fedor would have dove straight in, and beaten Mir within an inch of his life, but current Fedor I think loses a limb to a Mir sub, so happy to see Fedor learning from his Werdum mistake.

4. Fedor clipped Mir with a punch I didn't actually see then quiickly pounds him out..... On a replay it's almost he exact same thing that Hendo did to Fedor in their fight.... I find it very interestiing how both fighters went down from relatively weak looking shots during this fight... (though in Mir's case you at least see his neck snap back from the blow he clearly never saw coming and that landed directly on the chin) .... I don't think either fighter has a chin that should keep them in cage anymore... but I will say that Fedor must have REALLY studiied his Hendo loss, because his reaction after clipping Mir to sneak those shots in under the arm and QUICKLY land some fight ending blows was pretty awesome.

I was entertained with the fight for what it was, two washed up legends finally getting to do battle.... but I felt more worried for both of them being in the cage than I did excited to see two legends battling it out.

Yep. After the shot under the armpit Frank flattens more and seems to go limp on that shot and the following one which is when Beltran pushes in. At first I thought a tiny bit early but after a rewatch its well justified

No way Chael beats Meat or Bader
 
Yep. I was worried then the hip toss happened and I was stoked. Hard to land up against the cage with a shot knee against a heavier opponent. Interestingly if you go back to the brief few moments before the fight starts Fedor has a fucking intense focussed/dead stare going on. It was then I knew he was legit this time win or lose.
