Fedor emenlianenko 30 win 1 Bullshit loss

Emelianenko has been considered the best heavyweight fighter in the world for the last five years by many major publications, including ESPN, the Orange County Register, The Fight Network, the Houston Chronicle, The Wrestling Observer, and Inside MMA.[9][10] In addition to holding notable individual wins over K-1 Super heavyweight champion Semmy Schilt, former PRIDE and current UFC champion Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (twice), Pride 2005 Open weight champion Mirko Filipović, former UFC Heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, and Mark Hunt, he has won numerous tournaments and accolades in multiple sports, most notably the PRIDE 2004 Grand Prix and the World Combat Sambo Championship on four occasions, as well as medaling in the Russian national judo championships. His sole loss, via doctor stoppage due to a cut via an illegal blow, is considered a mere technicality, which he decisively avenged

Answer 1

Fedor doesn't have any weaknesses, but if he had one it would be relying on his punches too much.  After all it is a little easier to sink a choke or submission on someone who is 3/4 beaten to death, no question.

I'd say in a fight, fight, Fedor would still win because he is so fast, strong, dominant, and indestructible.  In a pure BJJ match, I'd go with Rickson because Fedor wouldn't be able to bring his punching game with him.

Answer 2

Fedor would smash his head.

KO, round 1.

Answer 3

Emelianenko is heavier, which would be to his advantage.

But I think Gracie is sneakier and craftier.

Answer 4

FEDOR

Fedor is way more well rounded.  I do not question if Rickson could do better in a BJJ match or Fedor better in Sambo.  In an actual fight Fedor is more well rounded, one would assume training more actively/harder at this point in their lives, and will have a LOT less ring rust.  I respect Rickson 100%, but there is no way Fedor should lose that fight.

Rickson is good, no doubt, but unless he has improved his wrestling a lot he isn't going to take Fedor down easy.  He will also get beat up in the process of going for/trying a takedown.  Chances are he would pull guard.  We all saw what Fedor could do inside your guard in his fights with Nog.

His standup is also way further behind Fedor's.  I would give every advantage but pure BJJ (this isn't even that unless he is aloud to wear his gi) to Fedor.

Answer 5

RUSSIAN IN A TOTAL BEAT DOWN
