If I was able to meet anyone on the planet right now I would have to pick Fedor Emelianenko. He is Russian and he is the undisputed heavyweight champion in mma. I believe he is the toughest guy on the Earth. His record is 30 - 1 and the one loss he has came from a 15 second illegal elbow stoppage. His opponent did an illegal elbow and it gave a deep cut above his eye and the referree would not let him continue. If it was not for this "fluke" he would have an undefeated record right now, but it does not really matter because he is still ranked number one. I really like doing mma and watching it, and Fedor is among the elites likes Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Muhammad Ali. He is somewhere around 6'1 235 but has fought guys of all sizes including a 7'2 350 lb. Korean named Hong Man Choi. He does not brag either, he is humble with all of his fights, and he is so highly-respected among other fighters. Fedor's next fight will be against Brett Rogers on November 7th.
That is a pretty amazing record. I give credit to those guys for their toughness and things like that, but why do people fight? Also why is it in our nature to be so violent? Just two questions to throw out there for you.
ReplyDeleteWell Fedor was really poor growing up and he started fighting and winning money. He has a family now and every opponent he sees, he thinks that they are trying to put him back in the poorer period of his life. Also, another reason is competition. They want to see who the best is.
ReplyDeletei think that is probably one of the biggest people I have ever seen, either that or the guy standing next to him is just super short.lol
ReplyDeleteThe smaller guy is 6 feet tall. The other guy is just a giant.
