My small tribute to The Last Emperor

[akproplayer]

Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko fought his last fight last night. He went out the old warrior's way, getting TKO'd at age 46.
From about the turn of the century through 2009 he was the baddest man this planet has ever seen. He feared nobody, he beat everyone.
Kevin Randleman dropped him on his head not once, but twice. Watching it, it looked like it would've killed a lesser man. Moments later Fedor submitted "The Monster".
He didn't fear taking down BJJ world champion Antônio "Big Nog" Nogueira. Fedor beat him up on the ground.
He didn't fear the lethal kickboxer Mirko Cro Cop. Fedor backed him down standing up. This is still as great of a fight as I've ever seen.
Fighting for more than a decade past his prime, he's still the gold standard of greatness.There will never be another like The Last Emperor.

I expected this thread to be about Puyi. Still, war Fedor!

Damn that pics got more ass kickers than a MMA HOF after party.

He's probably gonna ruin that moment by taking another beating or two for money.

Agreed OP.

And a beautiful, proper send off by Bellator and all the legends who stood in the ring with him.

Awesome shot.

Also, this sport is not kind.

Just the show of respect from all other Lagends and HoF'ers should show anyone the respect Fedor has from fighters.
The GOAT does not need to show off, scream and bark. He just knows.

WAR Fedor, and thank you for the memories!!!
