Fedor has wins over Ricardo Arona, Babalu Sobral, Shemmy Schilt, Heath Herring, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Mark Hunt, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Minotauro Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Pedro Rizzo, Quinton Jackson, Frank Mir and many others. He doesn't have and never had a need of UFC
I was coming here to say something along these lines, but you put it perfectly! Also, Big Nog 2 times (in Nogs prime when he was thought to be unbeatable). Fedor is an MMA Goat and legend, he is on MMA Mount Rushmore for anyone who has followed MMA globally for the past 25+ years
Andrei “glass chin” Arlovski Heath Herring that’s a W you can brag about lol Tim Sylvia 😂 really when was he even relevant oh when Heavyweight was depleted and him and Andrei had there back and fourth Babalu 😂 wildly mediocre gate keeper Ricardo Arona dude was a beast but fought against Fedor in the infancy of his career like nothing to brag about it was literally 23 yrs ago lol Kevin Randleman one dimensional wrestler that couldn’t strike who’s record was like 17-14 or something like nothing to brag about Schemmy met Fedor at the the twilight of his career again nothing to brag about Quintin “outta shape” Jackson yea he was outta shape and in for a pay day when he fought Fedor I mean dude Fedor was good but he stayed away from the UFC for a reason and the few people he did beat that were from the ufc they were already released because they was done …so he beat a few people past there prime and in the twilight of there careers whoopty doo he wouldn’t have lasted in the UFC we’re they have the most elite fighters in MMA Dana even said it they offered him a ridiculous amount of money and he turned it down asked for money and steered clear of the nasty heavyweights in the UFC
Former UFC champs, and in a time where the competition was not so difficult, todays figthers are on a greater level, as the interest for the sport as grow.
Typical Dana comment. Fedor is arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time and possessed such a dominant and terrifying skill set, and deserves respect for being the legend he is. Dana has no class sometimes
Dana has never had class he's a shark who's blood frenzy is about money he didn't sign the greatest heavyweight because Fedor his name was bigger than the UFC could make it already so what was the point any of the greats of the UFC eventually he still faces cept for like Lesnar or Carwin. He still won't acknowledge even Mighty Mouse who's the reason we even got guys like Figgy or Moreno or Kara France
Yeah he wanted the heavyweight division to be competitive. Wouldn’t have been competitive at all if Fedor was there because nobody would’ve been able to beat him.
From the age of 24 until the age of 34 fedor was undefeated. Not a single HEAWY WEGHT Champion could come even close to him. He fought in open weight category also , in his prime years nobody could defeat him :) he is the greatest of all time.
Dana considers Big Nog one of the greatest who Dana inducted in the Hall of Fame and Fedor took him out twice, and Dana considers the best heavyweight in UFC history to Be stipe who only defended the title three times, fedor was undefeated for 10 years straight and beat all the pride guys that later went to the UFC
He is just salty he didn't have a chance to get a big 💰 from signing Fedor some people don't have any idea how big PrideFC before all the top fighter is going to PrideFC back in the day cause it is on top like what UFc looks like now!! Prime BigNog Prime Crocop prime Mark Hunt is not a joke!
@@cain948 Pride was absolutely massive! The HW division was way more stacked than the UFC and that’s not even debatable. If the UFC had signed Fedor you can bet your bottom dollar every promo for him would be touting him as the goat. It’s only because Fedor was the one that got away does he actually downplay his status. A decade run of never being beaten will never be accomplished again by anyone.
@@cain948 ...and he pretty much made it look easy for that decade of dominance. The UFC can lie to themselves and the public about Stipe being the "greatest" because he defended the belt a whopping 3 times, 2 of them against past their prime Overeem & Junior. But he real ones know who the GOAT is and thats Fedor.
Dana, shut up! Fedor knoced out a several UFC champions. What he did in Pride...is amazing! Fedor is a legend of MMA like no one else. And there will no be never someone like Fedor. So big respect to him.
In his prime years Fedor seemed unbeatable… he was undefeated for 10 years I think and had already defeated a lot of Heavyweight and light heavyweight champions who moved over to the UFC… and he wasn’t even a true heavyweight… he was about 220-230 pounds flabby
Not "seemed" but LITERALLY was unbeatable. Nobody could beat him in those 10 years and the best fighters were in Pride during that time, NOT the UFC so it makes no sense when they say he's not the best because he never fought in the UFC.
As an organizer, you should have all of the class, all of the appreciation and all of the courtesy to express gratitude to these pioneers who made the sport popular before you were even somebody. Fedor 100% contributed to the sport and even if you disagree with his GOAT status, at least praise him and given him the due respect and accolades that he deserves
Dan Henderson knocked out a out of prime old fedor. Not to mention is a miracle fedor chin lasted as long as it did the man went to war now that’s the goat and if anyone Denies it just watch all the legends giving him respect in his retirement. Action speak loader than Dana words ever could.
It's not very uncommon for a prime middleweight to beat up a washed up heavyweight, Kyle Roberson vs Jerome Le Banner is a great example of this. People see weight as an absolute overpowering force and it isn't.
When a guy has beat like 15 of your former champions, maybe don’t shit on him and let him retire with a kind word or 2, I get that you’re pissed that you couldn’t sign him but ctfo man, half of your roster showed him respect, like him or not Fedor changed the game
Fedor during his prime had 31 wins undefeated 31-1* (cut stoppage) In those 9 years Fedor beat former UFC Champions, Mark Coleman, Nogueira, Randleman, Arlovski, Slyvia, Mir. Everyone other than Coleman are all within 2 years of age of eachother and were the fighters to beat at that time.
He was well past his prime when lost 3 in a row and got KO by Henderson. From 2002 to 2009 while he was a world class sambo practioner he was unbeatable.
@k dot although that's true it's not the reason for his losses..it was obvious that after he stopped participating in Sambo tournaments he was not the same fighter any more. His technique stamina and strength deteriorated very fast..
@@antonisgoudaras346 yeah he quite sambo tournaments around 2008 because he felt the judging was becoming biased in his favor. He still practices and now teaches sambo but he slowly got away from ground fighting. Not sure why, maybe because of age and wanting to conserve his stamina ?
Fedor was untouchable during his prime. All his losses came because of the age factor. Fedor never cared about invincible records. He just loved this sport and that's why he fought till 46.
He beat most of the greats that were in the UFC for from the UFC people try to disrespect Fedor after his prime in pride he took time off before he came to strike force and he did well for his age
C'mon Dana, you didn't consider Fedor one of the greats but were still offering him millions of dollars and a shot at the heavyweight title in his UFC debut.
Pride WAS the place to be back then. The UFC wasn’t shit. Dana acting like Fedor never got tested by the best is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in my life lmfao 😂 Especially seeing as how people that Fedor absolutely dominated. Later went to become UFC champions. Jesus what a biased little child lol
Fedor is the GOAT never had no issues outside the cage always humble he is the prime example of what a MMA fighter is all respect and class he probably made more money not joining the ufc he was smart he wasn’t going to be trapped remember Francis left as well and we all know how good he is Dana is just salty he missed his opportunity because he’s a cheap bastard
Dana lying about how Fedor was not that good is about as ridiculous as Dana claiming he himself is the kindest guy on earth. Why would you blatantly lie like that on his retirement day? Major character flaw.
Dana white ""he didnt test himself with some of the guys hear " Fedors fights : tim sylvia,andrei arlovski,Mark hunt,Mark Coleman, Kevin radelmen,Quinton jackson,chael sonnen,frank mir,jeff monson,mirko crocop, Antonio rodrigo,heath herring Yeah Dana sounds like a cold ass hater 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 ..
Only ufc casuals say he isn’t the best. His resume is full of HOFs being mopped by him. The ufc wouldn’t let Fedor compete in sambo or judo competitions so he said no then Dana gets mad and bashes him for standing his ground.
This is a prime example why I've never liked Dana. A man who is a corporate schill and can't even admit that Fedor was great. He only started losing after his prime and made Tim Sylvia (only recently losing the heavyweight belt) look like an amateur in the ring. When this many mma fighters show respect and honor Fedor it tells you all you need to know about Dana.
Pride Fedor was amazing but after that it's really hard to say he was anything better than above average. His record speaks for itself. Hard to argue that.
You have absolutely got to be kidding me?? Look at the caliber of fighters that he fought in his prime. Look at how explosive he was in his fights and his expression never changed. He was an enigma and anybody that disagrees with that is just salty against Fedor for real. Was he the best heavyweight ever? I don't know. How could anybody know that. The heavyweight greats were absolutely great, like the heavyweight boxers of the '70s.
At one point he was the goat the only thing I didn’t like about him was he refused to sign with the UFC He wanted no parts of the competition vs Brock, Carwin, Cain, no one
Fedor was out of his prime by that time, his prime was 1999-2006,2007. Fedor didn't need the UFC, the best fighters were at pride in his time, he also competed in other combat sports which The UFC doesn't allow. He had 11 gold medals in the world Sambo championships. He was bigger than the UFC was at the time.
“Didn’t get to test himself in the ufc”, but was knocking out all the guys in Pride who took over the ufc heavyweight decision. Yes he is considered one of the best heavyweights of all time. Also when he got knocked out by Henderson it was towards his last years of fighting past his prime.
This is the problem with Mma this guy becomes a multi millionaire on the blood and sweat of his fighters and he gets to shit on a fighter like Fedor. Fedor, Wanderlei, Rampage and many more of the early bunch were instrumental for the rise of Mma.
Dan Hendo was so heavily roided not really a MW… not saying Fedor wasnt on some type of ped tho… some things he pulled off didn’t seem humanly possible and hasnt been done again
maybe dana doesn't understand that he's alienating himself with this silliness. who knows whether this is even his genuine opinion. fedor's accomplishment are complete insanity, and when he was in his prime around 2005 his sheer skill was exceptional. this is a neutral fact. the list of elite fighters, including most ufc legends, mike tyson, you name it, who have him as the heavyweight goat and/or a p4p goat contender is very, very long. there might be bigger problems in the world than the ufc party line on fedor, but it's stuff like this that makes it a bit challenging to take the ufc leadership seriously.
Dana is just salty he never got fedor to ufc. In his prime, Noone was beating him. Sorry buddy. Overall the ufc has the best fighters, but prime fedor would have beaten everyone at ufc. Dana being a clown. Noone, and I mean Noone on earth could have beaten prime fedor. For 10 years straight. Laughable.
Fedor fought everyone who came to the ufc afterwards and had a 31-1 record against them before they were champions. But Dana has to be bias he would be trashing himself and the ufc if he wasnt
It is interesting that the owner of UFC knows absolutely nothing about MMA. Fedor is the GOAT man, whether you like it or not. And this is coming from a Brazilian.
Dana should be so greatful to fedor. Yea, he was in pride, in the concurence, but he is the first guy to make mma a mainstream sport, watched by millions. He was a much more important milestone for ufc than conor, without him ufc might have been an underground promotion even today. Dana is a shitty person, but we all knew that already.
There was no one during Fedor's peak that would have made ot tonthe final bell in the UFC. Lets not kid ourselves Dana. His downfall wouldnhave been towards the end of his career as with everyone else. UFC had absolute legends in all weight divisions except for heavyweight. Randy was the only one, but he was too old to take on Emilianenko. All time greatest heavyweight ever and one of the best to ever do it, period.
You are shitting on the guy because he wouldn't sign your bs contract. Best pound for pound heavyweight in MMA? In his prime, NOBODY, absolutely nobody could do what Fedor Emelianenko did. And you know that!
The UFC desperately wanted Fedor and he knows because Fedor would've been a major cash cow. I would've loved to see him in the UFC back when the sport was growing and he was in his prime.
Media should've called him out and stated how many of Dana's "top guys" Fedor beat. Is he better than Cain, Stipe, Francis, who knows, different generation. But to say he isn't up there in the conversation is ridiculous, just give the guy some respect on his way out. Who didn't have some questionable losses at the tail end of their careers? Total lack of class, Dana on a bad run. Someone should tell him to lay low for awhile and maybe do some yoga or something.

Tim Sylvia 😂 really when was he even relevant oh when Heavyweight was depleted and him and Andrei had there back and fourth
Babalu 😂 wildly mediocre gate keeper
Ricardo Arona dude was a beast but fought against Fedor in the infancy of his career like nothing to brag about it was literally 23 yrs ago lol
Kevin Randleman one dimensional wrestler that couldn’t strike who’s record was like 17-14 or something like nothing to brag about
Schemmy met Fedor at the the twilight of his career again nothing to brag about
Quintin “outta shape” Jackson yea he was outta shape and in for a pay day when he fought Fedor I mean dude Fedor was good but he stayed away from the UFC for a reason and the few people he did beat that were from the ufc they were already released because they was done …so he beat a few people past there prime and in the twilight of there careers whoopty doo he wouldn’t have lasted in the UFC we’re they have the most elite fighters in MMA Dana even said it they offered him a ridiculous amount of money and he turned it down asked for money and steered clear of the nasty heavyweights in the UFC
He beat them all after they were cut from ufc 😂
“He got knocked out by a middle weight”
He also knocked out several UFC heavyweight champs…

Fedor had a massive 9 lb. Advantage on Dan.
the greatest heavyweight is stipe miocic
He never had any If something doesnt go his way his very pissed you can tell by the way he reacts whan you ask him qustions he dont want to be asked.
So Dana shouldn't be honest about how he feels about Fedor? This is exactly what Dana has always said about Fedor.
Dana still salty he couldn’t sign Fedor lmaoooo
Yea LOL
Fedor’s mates (one of them is a drug addict - son of Matvienko) wanted Dana to build some stadiums in Russia to sign fedor to ufc back in his prime.

Fedor is the goat, he smash more than 5 former ufc champs
lmao this guy petty
Dana is just salty he never got fedor to ufc.
In his prime, Noone was beating him. Sorry buddy. Overall the ufc has the best fighters, but prime fedor would have beaten everyone at ufc.
Dana being a clown. Noone, and I mean Noone on earth could have beaten prime fedor. For 10 years straight. Laughable.
Dana: I don't resent the guy.
Also Dana: I'm not one of the guys to think he was one of the greatest of all time.
Bullshit Meter: 1,000,000%
Alas Dan Henderson hit like a Mac TRuck, A bit salty Dana, Fedor is the GOAT, What a HEART!
Fedor fought everyone who came to the ufc afterwards and had a 31-1 record against them before they were champions. But Dana has to be bias he would be trashing himself and the ufc if he wasnt
It is interesting that the owner of UFC knows absolutely nothing about MMA. Fedor is the GOAT man, whether you like it or not. And this is coming from a Brazilian.
He probably thinks Einstein wasn't that smart either
Dana sounds but hurt.
You couldn't even ko your bantamweight wife, and you had two shots
Dana should be so greatful to fedor. Yea, he was in pride, in the concurence, but he is the first guy to make mma a mainstream sport, watched by millions. He was a much more important milestone for ufc than conor, without him ufc might have been an underground promotion even today. Dana is a shitty person, but we all knew that already.
"Got knocked out by mw d hendo" there is a small percentage of guys at any weight who could take an H-bomb from him now! Let alone back then
There was no one during Fedor's peak that would have made ot tonthe final bell in the UFC. Lets not kid ourselves Dana. His downfall wouldnhave been towards the end of his career as with everyone else. UFC had absolute legends in all weight divisions except for heavyweight. Randy was the only one, but he was too old to take on Emilianenko. All time greatest heavyweight ever and one of the best to ever do it, period.
You are shitting on the guy because he wouldn't sign your bs contract.
Best pound for pound heavyweight in MMA?
In his prime, NOBODY, absolutely nobody could do what Fedor Emelianenko did. And you know that!
The UFC desperately wanted Fedor and he knows because Fedor would've been a major cash cow. I would've loved to see him in the UFC back when the sport was growing and he was in his prime.
Media should've called him out and stated how many of Dana's "top guys" Fedor beat. Is he better than Cain, Stipe, Francis, who knows, different generation. But to say he isn't up there in the conversation is ridiculous, just give the guy some respect on his way out. Who didn't have some questionable losses at the tail end of their careers? Total lack of class, Dana on a bad run. Someone should tell him to lay low for awhile and maybe do some yoga or something.
