Meet Russian Fedor"The Last Emperor" Emelianenko. The Baddest MMA fighter pound for pound. With a win-loss record of 28-1, his one loss thus far brought in due to blood stoppage via referee call against Tsuyoshi Koshaka (Fedor would eventually avenged that loss in their second meeting). Well versed in Sambo, Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, he is considered to be the greatest MMA fighter and is ranked #1 in the world, the current World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts champion, and was the last Pride FC champion before it folded and was purchased by UFC owner Zuffa LLC.
His battles are legendary and I'll be going over them in the next few weeks (if I get around to it).
Often times it ends very quickly via knockout or submission, and sometimes both, his last fight against former UFC champ Tim Sylvia lasted 36 seconds in the first round.
Off the ring he is articulate, classy and humble, and he is a true ambassador to the sport of MMA. World, meet Fedor. My hero.
