Don’t really know these names to be honest.
Should I know these guys? Who is propably most famous out of them?
Fedor
DHK
Lombard
Wow. Well, fair play for admitting you don't know.
Yoshida was by far the most successful in terms of money and fame. Guy was huge in Japan in the early to mid-2000's. TK was probably the best overall fighter. Nakamura had some decent wins but was just kind of a meh fighter at the end of the day.
Yoshida was a star in Pride.Don’t really know these names to be honest.

from the original RTT [Russian Top Team], some legit judokas:Watched an old Karo Parisyan fight. The arm throw he did in that fight was pretty incredible.
Got me thinking about many fighters that started in Judo.
I feel most start in wrestling or BJJ.
Are there any great fighters that started out in Judo?
Still a great throw.Bad night for the judoka.
Nakamura still beat Randleman,Kondo,Busta,Igor...no small feat imo...Wow. Well, fair play for admitting you don't know.

I believe it was more or less at the same time, perhaps BJJ 1st...Paulo Filho started in judo before taking bjj

Do you guys agree with Fedor starting in Judo over Sambo?
Paulo Filho competed/won in judo tournaments IIRC.So did Marcelo Garcia, yet nobody claims he’s a judoka lol
