Mousasi.

I came to say that, he has no emotions at all

 

[kimocomplex]

i remember laughing at Rustam Khabilov when Vinc Pichel was making his way in the cage

 

[Nickzor]

Brilliant! Vovchanchyn is definitely relevant here, dude use to fight in an era where you'd fight bare knucked, no weight classes and have to fight 3 times in one night, BRUTAL, Igor was a beast for sure

Hahaha came in to post this

It's so crazy that both Conor AND his delusional fans thought he could beat either one of these guys. They are both simply on another level than him when it comes to fighting. Which was shown in the diaz fight.

Does this guy look intimidated to you??

That all you got??

 

[basedgodfedor]

Wand and CroCop

Rampage

Diego Sanchez

It might be easier to pick fighters that actually DID look intimidated.

Most people who fought Anderson during the reign. Cote, Franklin in the second fight, Lutter.

Bisping against Hendo. He kept circling into the power hand because he was scared and couldn't listen to instructions anymore.

Have to ask, at what point did Cote look intimidated against Anderson. If I remember right he was actually pumped up for lasting longer than anyone had previously.

Mousasi and Fedor certainly comes to mind.

I remember him looking super apprehensive, not pumped about engaging. He lasted longer than anyone to that point but I think that was the beginning of the lack of striking initiation against Silva. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, it was a long time ago.

Man, he just really gives 0 fucks.

He's a crazy mother fucker il give him that. He cracks me up

In Fighter’s Only Magazine, a sports psychologist had been quoted saying, "The best when it comes to the stare down is Fedor Emelianenko. Watch him: he does not make eye contact and his entire expression is extremely relaxed - you would think he is about to perform a ballet or something. But here is the crucial thing. When the referee tells them to head back to their corners, Fedor suddenly darts a short look directly at his opponent - or through his opponent, I should say. This kind of look is associated with antisocial behavioral disorders and psychopaths. They don't look at you, they look through you. It's emotionless; it goes deeper than skin level. You will get a lot of fighters who will catch that look and suddenly realize they don't want to be there. Wanderlei Silva has a stare-down that makes you think 'this is gonna hurt', but Fedor's makes you think 'I might die'."[189]

So I was wondering, whom are the fighters who just never look intimidated/hesistant, whilst in the ring?

For example about a month back we had Almeida vs Garbrandt and mann.. wth Almeida looked scared as hell, was soo hesitant and didn't seem to have any confidence then got knocked out and he was 21-0 coming into that fight, there's also fights where a fighter looked confident and not intimidated one bit before the match begun, then would slowly begin looking rather intimidated after taking shots and losing exchanges, for example, Lesnar looked pretty damn confident when he fought Velasquez, initiating the first few stand up exchanges but then after taking a few hits he just pretty much didn't want to trade anymore then got TKO'd shortly after.

Off the top of my head the one guy whom never looks intimidated even after getting his ass kicked and still continues to walk forward like he gives no fcks is Mark Hunt lol, I feel that if you put an 8ft 400lb dude in front of him he would just be like ''alright lets go'', I'm sure there's other examples but I can't think of them right now so let me know some others.
