to represent you, your team , your country or whoever to fight the great and final winner-take-all battle of all time against the "other side" who would you choose? Fedor Emelianenko? Bruce Lee? Mike Tyson? Anderson Silva? Royce Gracie? Who?
Alexander Karelin..if this was picking them in their primes.. No one can sub him, he would pick Lesnar up and throw him out of the cage...yes really
wow bad ass pick. i dont know if he would never be subed but he would ****ing own im with you and pick him...... or can we creat a supper fighter. karelins strength and wrestling nogs bjj, hunts chin, cro cops kicks, alex E's boxing, fedors intelegence/ ability to mix styles, and gsps gass tank.
Wtf? Why? Do you think Tyson would be a better eye gouger than Fedor? Better at kicking a downed opponent? Better at kneeing in the groin? Better at fishhooking? Maybe he is better at biting I suppose. Better at pulling out a weapon? If it's a "no holds barred street fight" than I suppose I would pick some sort of special op from the American Army. Seals or Delta force or something. He just pulls out a gun and shoots the other guy. No weapons I think Fedor is the obvious choice. Anyone who thinks Tyson is better for a NHB fight than Fedor... I guess they don't understand that "regulated mma matches" are the closest measure that we have (except, I guess, watching total NHB fights which don't exist at the highest level in the USA anymore) to NHB fighting are fools.
Putting aside the obvious reasons why Fedor winning an MMA match being the same reasons he wins a street fight; when it comes to street fighting and instilling the right mentality, I'll take the Russian Army over being coddled and handled like a spoiled brat living in rich household in the Catskills any day of the week.
I think Karelin can be average in all MMA facets and just be the wrestler that he is.. He is as superhuman as someone can be in human history. No one can touch this guy, imagine him 5 times the athlete that Lesnar is, better wrestler, way stronger, way faster, more explosive...300 pounds of steel... Im sorry folks, youll need a gun against this guy
one thing that i wonder is why didnt roland gardner compete more the guy has bad ass wrestling him self. not as strong as keralin but still he had potential
prime tito.. im not a nuthugger or anything i just think hes the guy who can trouble anyone and is guaranteed to be in top shape..
He was never consistant. Besides he only got popular because he beat Karelin because of some lame ass rule that favors fat people. No joke.
