In this video from RawVegas.tv, Russian stoic philosopher Fedor Emelianenko drops some knowledge regarding the issues of the day, including his thoughts on Randy Couture and his somewhat surprising admission that he is impressed by Brock Lesnar. My personal favorite is when he responds to Dana White’s earlier criticism of him by remarking that the UFC president’s comments are on his own conscience and he’s the one who will have to live with them. These are the moments that make me wonder if Fedor isn’t some being sent from another world in order to teach us all to be kinder to one another. Then I rewatch his bout with Tim Sylvia and I am forced to abandon that theory.

commentsMagnum: I was asking myself what happened to Lashley, if he will ever come back to WWE. He will be another beast in the cage...Glad to hear it and can't wait to see him again in action.
Here's some news for the Brock Jockriders...Bobby Lashley will likely be fighting on an MMA card before the end of the year. Maybe if he wins, he can earn a shit at Fedor too.
Your thoughtful comments below the video were great.
Fedor's unassuming and genteel attitude outside of the ring are a credit to all of MMA, and mankind in general.
I have seen most (95%) of Fedors ring appearances and many of his Combat Sambo matches. There is no one else like him on the planet.
The G. Dog at the UFC should really shut his mouth. He is always making a fool of himself every time he opens it. He can not seem to resist the verbal diarrhea of moronic and self serving comments. As for Lesnar, he should not be mentioned on the same page. Fedor has been dismembering guys much bigger (not to mention classier) and more experienced in Sambo for years. I have seen him throw bigger guys then Lesnar around like playthings from his toychest. Sometimes the toys did not make it back into the chest in one piece, either.
His MMA matches are better known, but monsters were made for this polite slayer, and Lesnar would not look good with an arm sticking out of his ass.
I have only seen Fedor speak of Dana White one other time, when he was asked about the G. Dog's animosity towards him, and endless trash talking.
His reply was one short sentence that reduced White to his core:
"He is inadequate"
"nuff said.
Lot of respect for that guy not just his fighting which is peerless.
Fedor: "??????"
Translator: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..."
i can see lesnar manhandling any heavyweight out there.
likewise i can see fedor submitting anyone.
irrestible force vs immovable object
