Fedor Emelianenko can be considered the greatest heavyweight mixed martial artist off all time. With a record of 35-4-1, he began his career as a member of RTT (Russian Top Team), winning tournaments and acquiring accolades in MMA, sambist and judoka.
His greatest accomplishment came with his defeat of Antonio Nogueira, who was undefeated at the time, to become the second Pride Heavyweight Champion. A title he would never lose.
Emelianenko remained undefeated for nearly a decade, which is unheard of in the sport of MMA, suffering his first loss to Fabricio Werdum in June 2010.
Fedor Emelianenko is now retired and a politician in his home country of Russia. There have been some attempts to unretire Emelianenko, but to no avail. His legacy as the best pound for pound heavyweight will go down in history!
