It's a tough one, I think most MMA fans would agree that it's a tough
one. From a fan's perspective I've always been a big fan of Fedor
because he was the guy who couldn't be beaten. In the early days when I
jumped on this MMA stuff it was all about Fedor. He was the fighter you
wanted to be like. Then again, Dan Henderson has always been there in
the background and I'm a big fan of Dan Henderson as well. I've been at a
few after parties with Dan Henderson and it's pretty surreal being a
fan of his. Being at my after party, after the Dustin Hazlett fight and
jumping off a bar and having Dan Henderson catch me, it's a bit of a
dream like moment for me, being such a fan. I don't really want to call
it because I don't want to be at the event and have Henderson say "you
thought Fedor was going to beat me" and I really don't want the Russians
coming up to me speaking Russian because I don't know what they're
gonna be saying. So I'm gonna stay neutral and say it's gonna be a great
fight. I think Fedor has something to prove and Hendo relishes big
opportunities so I think it's gonna be a fantastic fight for the fans.

I hope someone creates a gif of that

Ariel Helwani has 8 new SF fighter interviews just posted on his youtube page.

Picking Fedor but as the fight nears I'm giving Hendo a better and better chance.

Fedor is wild and leaves himself open, and we know Hendo has one hitter quitter power. Hendo also for sometimes having that limited hand cocked attack actually has pretty solid defense because of it.

I think it'll be the fight of the year.

I'm kinda leaning other way. Was pretty split at the beginning and now as the fight nears I think Fedor may hand Hendo an ass whooping

If he beats Hendo's ass like no other his next fight should be against Bones at 205.

I think Hendo will be more then game though.

I don't think Fedor would ever go to 205.

Your probably right and I hate it hate it hate it! Why not go down to 205 and be that guy again?

Let's take a look at Fedor's legendary career by the numbers.






1. Fedor has held five MMA championships

2. Fedor holds the best win streak in all MMA at 26

3. Fedor has never been knocked down by any type of strike

4. Fedor has a finishing percentage of 79%

5. Only one fighter has ever stopped Fedor in a fight. The other two were stoppages by doctors

6. Fedor has defeated five different heavyweight champions, seven times

7. Fedor has 70 total takedowns

8. Fedor has secured 22 victories in the first round

9. Fedor has 12 wins under two minutes

10. And four wins under one minute

11. Fedor has only lost to guys that are top 10 and had a total of 70-pounds (combined) over him.

12. 18 of Fedor’s opponents were ranked in the top 10 or higher.

13. Fedor is the only heavyweight to beat a true number one and then defend that position against the true number two. Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos will become the second pair of heavyweights to ever accomplish such feat.

14. Has longest time going undefeated out of anyone active in mixed martial arts at 10 years.

15. Ranked number one in his division and pound-for-pound longest
time out of anyone in MMA at seven years. He is the most elusive,
least-hit fighter of all time over the length of his career. Only young Lyoto Machida
comes close. He is also one of the most skilled judokas in the world
in addition to the most decorated combat sambo fighter in history.

Fedor is such a HUGE HW It's not even fair for Hendo. DAMN!

lol wtf

lack of a live weigh in stream makes me sad, but I know why they cannot do one.

I have a feeling Paul Daley misses weight

Fedor Emelianenko (223) vs. Dan Henderson (207)
Marloes Coenen (135) vs. Miesha Tate (135)
Robbie Lawler (185) vs. Tim Kennedy (185)
Paul Daley (171) vs. Tyron Woodley (170)
Scott Smith (171) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (170)

I'll be interested in the pictures from the weigh ins. Fedor 7lbs lighter then his last fight.

Neither guy had to cut and it's a 16 pound weigh difference. Truly a HW vs a MW here.

WAR WAR WAR.

223 in dripping wet socks and a 4 pound crucifix.

Lowest I have ever seen him weigh in at. 224 in his second fight with Coleman.
