The first time I watched fedor was against semmynschilt. And I had seen Sammy many times before and fedor dominated him. I was familiar with herring and just saw fedor once. You don’t know until you know. Herring was tough as nails and fedor is just so damn good.
@@chakko007 If you look closely, Fedor is a biomechanical genius, instead of just throwing a punch, he throws his whole body into the movement, creating greater power. He also has great hips and moves like a middleweight which allows him to avoid danger by getting off the bottom and back to his feet, or moving quickly into submissions. The only problem I think is throwing those power punches makes you over commit too much sometimes which makes the opponent take advantage to counter attack, hence Dan Henderson. Cheers
Fedor's run in Pride was legendary. Can you blame Quadros and Bas for picking Heath to win? Heath was an improving, exciting and cool fighter! "The holland training" was a very real thing! Bas respected that. Heath only lost to Vitor and Nog! He beat Mark Kerr and Igor Vovchanchyn! He was perfectly respectable! You gotta remember, MMA info was still kind of hard to come by in the early-mid 2000s. I guess if you were active on sherdog and were really tuned in, you'd have more knowledge. I relied on sherdog stats and my older brother talking about the next big guy. Maybe he showed Heath Herring's busted up face! That's kind of how you knew who was good. Same thing happened with Cro-Cop. There was a picture of Heath's ribs caving in from a Cro-Cop kick, and it was like "DAAAAAANG!" Heath went down! Shocking to see at the time. Heath took some SERIOUS beatings for the growing sport. He was kind of like Yamcha or Tien, with all due respect! Tough guy, but gets beat by the elites. Next gen Gary Goodridge, Pre Cowboy Cerrone. "fight anyone anytime anywhere." That kind of guy. Tapes were starting to circulate and we tried getting whatever came out. We KNEW about Heath Herring from a bunch of PRIDEFC events, Nog was the man to beat. Fedor only fought Semmy Schilt, which I was under the impression he was more of a K-1 guy. I guess he was just a beast everywhere. I'm sure some older people knew about RINGS, we recognized T.K's name but heard it was a weird DQ! Arona was kind of boring, Babalu wasn't exactly a big name at the time.
Gotta give Heath respect for coming back like that in the last minuted of round 1. Pure will power. I'm sure he would have lost in round 2 anyway though.
This is high level heavyweight mma. Fedor is one of the GOATS. Give Herring credit too. Got the living shit kicked out of him n fought on. Fedor was just insane back then
Pride really, really, really wanted Herring to win this fight. Why was Herring being looked at by the doctors? Because he had some blood on his face? Does anyone see blood or a cut that is obviously interfering with Herring's vision? The ref and doctors are right there, and we just have a camera and you can see at 6:26 there is damage, but his eyes are clear. Pride was just giving Herring a break with the hopes he would win the fight. Their fight fixing instincts were hard to kick. Too bad Fedor was a brutalizing monster at this point.
His fight should have been stopped way earlier, they probably did some tests on Heth and he didn't pass, considering the beat down he was taking, it's not surprising that the fight would end like that.
see 16:22. Heath's eye is COMPLETELY shut, even after that long break and doctors trying to "fix" it. Also, "Pride really wanted Herring to win this fight"? What does that even mean? Do you have anything to back that up? Can you name one fight in pride where a fighter was damaged due to bad call from ref or from bad TKO stoppage? I'm just amazed that you see this as a bad doctor stoppage or something that Pride fixed in favor or Heath. It makes absolutely 0 sense to me.
@@oliverreno4734 I don't get why the ref paused the fight. Heath was beat up sure, but you can see his eyes aren't swollen shut and blood isn't leaking in them. There was no need to pause the fight.
They paused it to see if the cut was too deep. Blood in the eyes isnt the only reason to stop a fight from a cut. A cut being too deep is an equally valid reason and that cut was deep
pride not allowing elbows on the ground is almost as silly as UFC not allowing knees. I can perhaps understand banning stomps do a downed opponents head -- if you want to make a safety rule, that one is perhaps wise, as a fully perfectly landed heavyweight stomp could be horrific. Imagine if Mark Hunt's stomps attempted on wanderlai when he was down had landed as example. But I do wish elbows and knees were allowed always in all positions in MMA -- banning knees to a grounded opponent like ufc does seems to favor wrestlers a ton, doesn't it? Why do that and make your sport less exciting, and less realistic. If knees to grounded opponents were allowed, every shot wrestlers go for would be far more of a gamble, bc if opponents sprawls and captures your head, you're in extreme danger right away. Whereas now, in UFC, there's no consequence except the guy gets to put his weight on you. Also how can they still not have gotten rid of that 12 to 6 elbow rule when every single person in the world knows it's stupid and not real. How is it possible they keep that rule, when everyone knows it's total nonsense that 12 to 6 elbows are dangerous any more so than any other elbow. stupid rules still ruin mma. Pride was the closest to the real thing. And wrestlers had a lot more trouble there than they do in the UFC.
Everything i say seems retarded when i re-read it much later. I regret everything. Who am i, ufc coach spectacular? My past self is a constant crimge for my present self, and somehow i never like myself more. Youd think i learn and change and become less cringe. But perhaps my very nature, my core fabric is composed entirely of cringe.
Both the commentators were so confident that Heath gonna win the fight before it starts.... 1 minute silence for them..
The first time I watched fedor was against semmynschilt. And I had seen Sammy many times before and fedor dominated him.
I was familiar with herring and just saw fedor once. You don’t know until you know. Herring was tough as nails and fedor is just so damn good.
😂
Lol they thought Fedor was his last name and Emilianenko was his first 😂
Odd to see them pick anyone over fedor
They obviously hadn't seen much of Fedor beforehand. Every time I see him fight I'm more impressed
I respect any man who can go 14 minutes with prime Fedor. You just fought the best.
Brock dominated that man
Lol. Of those 14 minutes he was on his back for 13. This was a mismatch...he didn't stand a chance.
@@hungryforlunch Yeah, but Brock couldn't finish him. Heath was not a top fighter overall though, so Brock beating him was no surprise.
@@billj4525his overall record is full of loses to name fighters. Heath was a journeyman at best and thats putting it nice lol
@@poindextertunesHe was really competitive and in prime when Fedor fought him though
Straight up mauling by Fedor!
Fedor putting Kerring on his ass right after Heath was looked at by the doctor was brutal.
These commentators are talking like they don't know who Fedor is. They know now!!
ofc this was his second ever fight in Pride
@@admiralj6988 True
They didn't really know how good he was back then.
@@SurgeCess no they didn't but he definitely showed them
I always liked when bas would commentate and call Heath the crazy Texas horse.
Love Pride FC
Fedor savagery is unmatched
I miss The last emperor
Последний император 🤘🤘🤘
6:05 thats not a fighter….Thats a Animal.
Crazy….The best in Old School.
Bro imagine if that hit you in the stomach or in the head.. I don't think I would ever get up after that
Fedor punching speed, amazing...... 5:32 6:03 11:47 12:46
Yep. And what bombs... pure power.

He "lost" to vitor
Heath had demolished guys in some of those Brazilian Vale Tudo tournaments. He was legit for sure...but Fyodor...other worldly.😮
Why they pick heath herring? Answer is simple. Because herring is american fedor is russian.
Fedor absolutely dominated, outclassed and destroyed him.
And Herring was a beast in his own right!
He could hit Heath's head with his eyes closed. I'm astounded at how accurate Fedor's striking was in this fight.
No disrespect to Heath, but even when he was on top for a brief period his punches seemed like child's play compared to what Fedor delivered to him.
Definitely a mismatch yes.
I forgot about the early Fedor fights. Before everyone knew what a beast he was. I first saw this back when I was in highschool still.
This was the first fight that indicated he was such a beast, and when he destroyed big nog the first time, everyone was terrified.
Heath was a problem back then but Fedor solved it
Gotta give Heath respect for coming back like that in the last minuted of round 1. Pure will power. I'm sure he would have lost in round 2 anyway though.
This was the beginning of Fedors prime and dominance.
Incredible moment in history. This is MJ scoring 69 against the Celtics.
Великий и скромный Федя побил чувачка из Аватара )

Looked like Heath tapped at 13:56 and Fedor let him go. Anyone else agree??
Looks to me that he tried to pull his hand but slipped one or two times :)
Here after he retired 😢
First ever MMA event I saw 🤩
❤😄

Fedor hits Soo hard it's crazy you can hear that shit
Crazy, Fedor is a Monster. But i respect Heath Herring becauee its crazy to last so long with Fedor. He hit him so nasty i felt it when watching.
Fedor is the style I try so hard to emulate.......
its wierd seeing anyone bet against fedor
Could u imagine flying on a airplane w that hair
Yes
Today, after 05:32, the judge would end the match
I don't think so, Heath's intelligently defending himself by turtling and granby rolling.

Elbows causes serious cuts that can end fights prematurely, that’s why pride didn’t use them.
Fedor🇷🇸❤🇷🇺🏆
Dude - thank you
Fight should’ve been called earlier, unnecessary mauling by Fedor.
Что за глупость, в смысле не нужные, может надо было ему массаж делать, они выходят биться, он бы Фëдора так же бил если б мог.
I can’t believe they let him continue after the docs checked him out
Man Fedors GnP was different
Yeah count Heath out. Fedor was an animal.
Федор - умный и справедливый боец.
Heath "My plan was to wear out his hands with my face."
This was before Fedor Emelianenko became fat! so just imagine how hard he was to deal with physically!
Too much muscle= no cardio. He had muscle and fat. He had rapidity, heavy and cardio.
Fedor GOAT
did they not know they have the name backwards?
7 months later he loses to Crocop, his record is still pretty good
The ufc doesn't celebrate pride enough and that's bullshit
3:39
ヒースへリングの打たれ強さは半端ない。パンチから逃げるのが上手いのかな。明らかにヒョードルが打ち疲れている。
Федор это и есть медведь
Pressão do fedor
Прекрасная победа русского бойца Федора Емельяненко! Браво Федор! ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Ubio ga je ko vola u kupusu.
Heath Herring should have fought his barber instead
как другим по лицу стучать , так нормально , а как самому ? ну нафиг ещё карточку попортят ))))))
Heath herring by decision
The missing part of your sentence is Heath Herring SURVIVED by CLEVER decision :D
Fedor by destruction🤣
le robocop us demoli par le terminator russe!
