Fighting Lifestyle UAE’s correspondent Mihails Kozevnikovs caught up with ‘The Last Emperor’ Fedor Emelianenko (34-4) during his visit to HM Fitness center in Dubai. Fedor is widely regarded as the best MMA fighter of all time. Fedor who is also a 6 time combat sambo world champion, and has won many notable championships in multiple sports including a bronze medal in the Russian Judo Federation National Championship in 1998 and 1999 spoke to us about some issues surrounding him in the media currently.
Fedor Emelianenko addressed Joe Rogan’s recent allegations about the possibility of Fedor talking steroids during his career, in addition he spoke to us about Dana White and why talks with the UFC went sour. - Sport
Interviewer is terrified. Understandable
Agree he had some very tough questions. I don't think he was worried about getting punch just Fedor walking out.
+Patrick Timmons Ward hahaha
Fedor has that kind of a look that he can be smiling yet look intimidating.
+Patrick Timmons Ward His accent is weird. Never heard a Russian before speak like him. He almost sounds dutch at certain points.
+Robin MX no
Fedor is a man of few words but has the respect of the entire mma world
Rivaldo Sammah WELL SAID...he is a great character...true fighter..
retipser jay he HAS character. Dana IS a character..difference.
okay!
+Fedor Kane yeah, no wonder everybody likes him. His mentality is "no bullshit, just lets fcking do this"
+Fedor Kane How would you know that?
How many fighters do you know personally?
How connected are you to the people with power in the UFC and the entire MMA world?
I know 3 fighters really well and they all think Fedor was a fool for turning down the kind of money that would've made him the highest paid fighter of all time... and they think he was a coward for running from the best fighters in the UFC The best are supposed to want to fight the very best fighters out there...but not Fedor...he RAN
Then to make him even more stupid he goes out and LOSES again and again to fighters in the lame ass Strikeforce hahahahahaha
FUCK OFF YOU IDIOT...you knwo nothing your comment is a unfunny joke
Fedor is a very humble and respectful man. Drama free and laid back. Love when he said in a old Bellator interview, "why does every body want to fight me, instead of have dinner with me".
He is the one who should best represent the sport in the eyes of everyone.
Fedor met my sister as a baby in the airport and played with her. He’s so humble and nice!
That's a Real Man right there..
I like the question which is the best MMA fighter. Everybody knows who is the best except for Fedor, it's him!
MikeKay1978 he knows.
Stipe Miocic or Daniel Cormier.
@@plisskennn You must be new. I'm assuming you missed the full decade that Fedor spent as the baddest man on the planet, mowing down Pride champs and UFC champs alike. Not taking anything away from Cormier and Miocic, but there's levels to the fight game and Fedor is up on that top tier with A Silva and GSP.
@@ddandymann I don't care. Fuck you you asshole.
@@plisskennn Drink your milk kid, and then go to sleep
Love the man's way of living !!!! he is a man with a soul !!! rare to see these days !!!!
he is so true, it should not be all about money !!! Fedor is a LEGEND !!!!!
he's right, it's not all about money.
+TruthSeeker he is ORTODOX Christian.from there he takes "power"
Danijel Srbin fuck it. U had to bring this to religion don't you? You re the reason people hate on fucking religious.
Agar ŦRIKΣR
Bro Fedor him self stated it numerous times. I don't understand why people would hate him for the truth..
He is honest, brave, though but man with soul? I dont know about that
"I have never thought about this" So that's how you feel when you are the best ever
has to be the most humble fighter of all times
no hard words, no show off
just get the job done in the ring and that's it
huge respect to the Last Emperor
The greatest of all time. Absolutely destroyed several UFC heavyweight champions, thereby discrediting the people that claimed he was afraid to compete against UFC fighters.
+Dirk Kingston 7-1 against UFC champions.
That champions weren't on Cormier and Stipe level. Werdum was a beast and was a Pride fighter.
@Fluke in 2010 when he lost to Werdum he was what..34? Cormier/Stipe still kicking ass at 39/37. In 2010 Fedor should have been on top of his game but...3 losses in a row to UFC fighters after which he went back to fighting oldies (Monson), no names or pregnant former UFC champs (shout out to titties Rampage Jackson). Always fun to watch, cool and explosive fighter but he completely avoided the bigger names or paychecks of his prime period.
@n o Yeah I was wrong
@@RomeoMihalcea that's mainly due to pride. Pride beat up and didnt really look after their fighters shortening most their careers but giving us the most iconic and entertaining mma fights.
how can you not be a fan of this man !
Few fighters have my admiration and Fedor is one of them. In fact Fedor is the fighter I most admire cause of his humility. A great fighter and the last Emperor of MMA!! Congratulations Fedor!!
/Agreed 100%
Fedor is just about the most upstanding and respectable professional athlete EVER!
He's a great guy with very insightful ideologies. Fedor is formal and straight forward, got to love the guy.
Fulfills the stereotype of Russian masculinity perfectly lol
Russians are not known to be masculine lol. They are known for being drunk and uneducated xD
Maxim Pisarev
Sorry, did I hurt your feelings ? Poor boy.
+Maxim Pisarev He's not wrong, why are you getting mad?
+_Infected | o_O Who isn't wrong, comrade?
When Oscar said Russians are more known for being drunk & uneducated rather than masculine.
Warms my heart to see such a dangerous man, speak so gentle and calm.
His minimalist style is awesome!
Straight to the point, but said with what seems like such emptiness, that it becomes scary!
Jackson Brown he reminds me of kimi riakkonen. 100% authentic and straight forward with 0% bullshit.
Minimalist style is he a fucking hipster or what, it's not style it's called being himself
That is the ONE guy who always fought out of his conffort zone and followed the combat no matter where it goes even having all the numbers against him.
Thats why he is the GOAT.
He himself is the greatest MMA fighter of all time
He’s actually extremely eloquent in his speech while being straight to the point. Hard for non-Russian speakers to notice it
After this I’m going to watch all of his highlights. It’s going to be a Fedor marathon all day like when I was 17 and discovered who Fedor was for the first time.
I don't speak his language but he's a humble dude. Much respect.
man, if Fedor was coming to Belgium, I would pay to learn from him, no matter the price! This guy is a legend and a freak
He may come off as a little reserved, but he seems honest, humble and intelligent. Even if you don't think he is the best fighter to ever compete in MMA, there's no denying that he was one of the greatest ever. Only a handful of fighters deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Fedor.
I can only think of GSP and Khabib but even then they trail so far behind. Nobody comes close to Fedor.
@@ZatoichiRCS GSP and Khabib are definitely two of the best, if Khabib would have fought a couple more years and moved up to 170lbs and won there, he might be the GOAT.
Because of steroid use Silva and Jones are suspect but the spider was magical his prime.
Many uneducated fans will never give Fedor respect or GOAT status just because he never fought in the UFC.
The interviewer thanks fedor after every answer 😂
Hahaha
Yea :D :D .. when there is Fedor standing in front of you with his dead eyes fixed on you.... the interviewer will thank him profusely if he answers his question with a "Hmmm" .. he would be thiking how many damn questions are left ... its turning bloody cold here :D :D
My question is....which dumb son of a birches don't want Fedor to train them??
+Andrew Kincannon People who can't set their egos aside, it is obvious he will show these other fighter that he is the emperor.
MikeKay1978 no kidding!! I see a lot of disrespect to Fedor that's unmerited. He probably the greatest fighter of our time. His ferocity and fighting spirit was truly something to behold. Frankly he could still have a decent career.
what i always liked in fedor was his abbility to make a transition from standing up to ground pound to submission and then back again, he exploit any situation which i haven't seen in any other fighter. All other fighter are in a "mode" and it take some time for them to switch over they either do standing up or submission, but fedor, everything is fluent,not to mention that he is good in every aspect.
so why people won't train with him is just stupid
exactly!! he has a way of adjusting his momentum where needed
that is a fucking good question
The most humble mma fighter he is the prime example of "actions speak louder than words". The legend,the greatest,much respect for this man.
Good man. Respect from Croatia.
What a absolute fucking monster. This mans mind is the calmest I've ever seen. I enjoy this mans art
Dana White seems self centered and disrespectful of mostly everyone
Yeah, surely the guy who took a sport from hiding in indian reserve casinos with no laws to a multinational brand that is legal across the usa surely did all this with 0 respect or care. Because this is how things work in a real world setting, right?
A Fertitta brother was on the Nevada athletic commission that outlawed MMA. They waited until the UFC price dropped and bought it and then big surprise, Nevada legalized MMA and they started having fights in Vegas. Zuffa was a racket not some kind of collection of martial arts geniuses.
@Joe Dirt Japanese mafia running the company like shit killed pride & strikeforce got folded into the ufc because there was no point running 2 direct competitors.
Yo u are clearly very special in ways that don't help you in life aren't you?
@Joe Dirt It wasn't an operating buisness when they bought it they had no offical contracts ever & was being run at a loss for years before Zuffa bought it, they only got a video library from their purchase & nothing more.
Several people involved have gone on record saying the exact same story but here you are saying what you "know" when you don't even know your ass from your elbow.
& notice you didn't address strikeforce probably because you realized how stupid what you said was about it &how stupid it would of been to simultaneously run 2 direct competitors.
Now seriously get a life worth living, you have dribbled some of the stupidest shit I've seen in a long assed time.
tough guy to interview
Bharathwaj Sv tough to interview, tough to fight, tougher to beat in a staring contest
Bharathwaj Sv fedor would have destroyed werdum, velasquez and more in his prime
Juan Castillo werdum tapped him with a triangle choke like he was a white belt.
+Citizen Vlogs
Yeah he made vs werdum for sure but he he was recking werdum up to that point.
Werdum at that time would have 0 chanse to win if Fedor had choosen to stay on hes feet
Only as much as Mr. Rogers is. Fedor just answers the questions as best he could, but most of them were geared towards rating other people. If they asked him about the sport, he would answer happily. It's the interviewer's job to ask the right questions.
Fedor must be sick answering the same question about UFC every single time...
All man....classy son of a gun !!!! Smarter than most people think he is. Beast !
The Greatest fighter question..
He was shy to tell his name...
Honesty and modesty its two things wich mpst of the fighters today don't have...but Fedor. The GOAT!💪
what a humble man.
Fedor! Never has any man displayed a greater disparity between his social presence and his athletic ability.
Life isn't all about money. Fedor is a wise man.
He is a respectable man..Good to see how he calm...
What a fighter and man to admire. He has all the moral attributes and fighting skills. He would have definitely beat everybody at UFC in 1 round. Too bad Dana doesn't like fighters who don't kneel to his money. I can't imagine what would have been the UFC Heavyweight division with fighters like Fedor and Mirko at their top level...
Fighters don't kneel to his money, he just doesn't pay them enough. Good on Fedor for giving him the finger
Its very cold in winter in Russia especially in Siberia, people there are tough as nails...
Not a Avid MMA fan but I could tell that this guy is dangerous and deadly not because of his hardcore training I could see that he has a spirit of the Lord in him and he's humble much respect to that brother Fedor
Now this is a REAL MAN ladies and gentlemen!!!
Most respect to the greatest fighter ever.
Fedor is the man. His old school respect beats new
School trash talk.
and what he said is true, money is not the most important thing
My favorite fighter. And I'm American.
Fedor has no tattoos like other fighters have.
Absolutely.chimezap
+Quetzalcoatl™ Look at his brother though.
+vmbo His brother even has Nazi tattoos.
chimezap
In fact I appreciate when fighter's don't wear tattoos because they look disgusting and unprofessional.
+Quetzalcoatl™ nazi tattoos ? )))))) its Jail tattos not nazzi
My favorite fighter overall....Fedor. I am utterly impressed that his ears look normal as opposed to many many fighters.
To me this man seems wise and in balance. I have great respect for his attitude.
Asking the greatest fight who's the best fighter... his humbleness stopped him from saying "ME BOI"
A thorough gentlemen he is.
I loved his game and his way of respecting opponents.
GOD Bless you
Fedor is so..............Russian. What I mean by that is that the Russians that I have known through the years are not very given to humor or joking around. Pretty much direct and to the point. "I'll answer the question, but don't expect me to elaborate" type of interview.
dude was rrrreally careful as to how close to bring that mic to fedor.
His trainer is Volk Han who is a father of MMA
What a humble man.
Me tranquiliza cuando habla tiene mucho control
He would have made a great samurai.
Berserker more like
In Russia we have BOGATIR.
fedor the GOAT❤.. what a human beeing....
What a Gem of a person ... lots of respect and love
stone strong body build on a steel solid spirit.
i cannot see how u cannot respect this legend.
Fedor was at the top of his class for like 10 years! That's hard to do!
Fedor is the best. My favorite without question. I wish he was 25 and still kicking ass
The greatest mma fighter in history, period.
10 years
Greatest of All Time. And that's not even talking MMA
1:23 Fedor Emelianenko “Dana White should first learn to respect people he works with”
Reason why older and more experienced fighters don't seek his help is because of their ego and pride. Put all that aside and learn. Knowledge is power.
When asked who is the best MMA guy he can’t even help but be low key but everyone knows Fedor has no equal. In no division, style. Fedora win record is the entire hall of fame. Big names, big titles and only Fedor reigns undisputedly as the most supreme fighter backed up by facts, footage, attendance and W!!!
Wow, very serious guy.
I would be honnored to learn from fedor and his brother... 2 humble and respected guys who knows what they are doing... there focus i on the fight and traning... that to me is what it is all about, not the money and glammer....
You got fans in denmark fedor..!
Pure class.
Fedor you are my idle bro your way of fighting is nothing short of inspiring I am glad to have lived in an era with you in it, God bless
Fedor can make an outstanding diplomat
I like him he keeps it simple a honest
Fedor is one cool dude a real mans man
yes you are right sir boss should respect his worker
He the Best mma fighter ever.
Total class and aptly named ..The Last Emperor
Абсолютное создание🤲, подобных не вижу больше!
Это идеальный образец спортсмена.
Pure class! СЛАВА РОССИИ!
Навеки слава!!!Я из Украины.
A true Legend
Man, it's like seeing an aged superman. Wish he could be young again just for a year to show these new guys the difference between somebody who fights just because they love to and somebody fighting for a purse.
Absolute gentleman
As time has gone on, it has become clear that what Fedor was saying about Dana White was true.
It was always pretty clear.
Only in my opinion Fedor is the best
Fedor Emelianenko has heart balls and self respect not to work for ufc f the money
Fedor is the best. If your from Russia and a fighter your a different caliber fighter than an other country.
The real question should be, -Just how many steroids does Joe Rogan take?
Fedor is seemingly that guy that never starts a fight, never picks on someone, never pushes your button, but is quick to finish a fight if you force his hand. quiet one is the dangerous one.
Even Alex his brother drinks, but never fight on the street. Another level for everybody, never punch just because you can.
Display of a Great personality by the emperor
The GOAT! True, classy representative of the martial arts much like Shogun, Machida, Dan Henderson, Couture, & Cain Velasquez to name a few. Excited he's returning. I give him good chance vs Werdum.
A good soul
Федор является лучшим когда-либо. From USA :)
Fedor looks like the older brother that always get you out of troubles in school...
It's hard to fully agree with Dana or Fedor as we personally don't know the facts. BUT one thing's for sure which i agree with Fedor. Dana White reaaaaally loves money and is a greedy money lover. If he can make some extra money but have to step on a few toes he'll do it.
+Robin MX the fucker is already rich as fuck, money is like drug for Dana.
+Lorfmor Yeah
Yeah that's kind of what being the CEO of a company is, if he doesn't do this the business will be unsuccessful & it will either collapse and/or if there are shareholders or if it was privately owned the freititas will just simply dropkick him & find someone who will make it successful.
This for most is a "no shit!?!" statement I must also add...
Fedor is a great champion!!!He is the bestest!Respect from Ukraine!All.
Fedor 2024
Great Respect from New Zealand,Dana white don't deserve to be in the same town when he's around.👊😡
After all this years and Fedor was right about dana, dana is so disrespectful guy when things comes to the fighters except conor, khabib.
Love and respect for Fedor. God bless him and his family. A role model like Habib.We are blessed to have these fighters alive.
We have to realize that even Bob Ross was a Seargeant at one point. Inside every one of us is a fighter and a healer. Just because Fedor chooses to unleash all his fighter skills into his profession doesn't mean he is without feeling in all his life. I bet he is one of the most compassionate people you can have in your life.
