    i know it is an all too often used term nowaday's but if there is such a thing i.e schumacher,woods,ali,federer etc

    to me he is like a great chess player the way he counteract's and pre-empt's an opponents move,the way in which he capitalise's on there weaknesses and turns it to his advantage is phenomenol...

    he can fight fighters at there own game yet is able to seemingly flip the coin and take them out of their comfort zone and inflict any style at will, the way in which he uses there size adavantage against them or is able to outstrike the guys known for striking i.e crocop the best jiu jitsu practitioners all fail i.e noguera and the wrestlers get outmuscled i.e coleman,he really is exceptional...

    seriously if he retired now it would be fine with me,his legacy was cemented year's ago he does'nt need lesnar's name nor any other fighter's name,the guy is the greatest fighter this sport has ever seen without question but the thing i admire most is his humility,dedication and respect.

    there should be a film made about this man.

    p.s roger's you classless tool!! you should be honoured your arse was handed to you by the greatest fighter on the planet,this rematch talk is nonsense.

    Fedor timed Rogers' left jab perfectly on the knockout punch. Rogers put up a good battle, but Fedor is still the 'Last' Emperor.

    Yes.

    In both Sambo and MMA, though there is obviously a huge overlap.

    Irrefutably so. The man executes his skills and gameplan WHILE BEING ATTACKED! His genius can't be rivalled.

    I'd say so. He has admitted that he is not the best of athletes as far as attributes are concerned or at least he did say he wasn't an outstanding athlete as a kid. He's a self engineered wrecking machine.
