I'm sure you woke up this morning telling yourself that there's no way you could go through today without watching Fedor Emelianenko sumo wrestle a dude in Japan. I know your pain. This same thought often passes through my cerebral cortex throughout the week. It's a debilitating thing really. The thought of Fedor garbed in a white loin cloth while going toe-to-toe with another man in a loin cloth is just something that is impossible to ignore. Fortunately for you, MiddleEasy has the ability to put those worries to rest. You can now live your life knowing that whenever you need to see Fedor sumo wrestle, a newly released video exists. We just made your dreams come true, and we're not even asking anything in return. Man, we're awesome. Actually, the guys at OnlyFighting.ru are awesome since they tipped us to the video -- but we're awesome too. We can both coexist on a level of awesomeness rarely achieved by other sites. Now watch this video of Fedor sumo wrestling Shinichi Suzukawa in Japan and be amused.

Sumo...Sambo...MMA...he's still the GOAT.

i knew this was coming..the spider is no doubt the GOAT for alot of reasons main ones being he has top 5 wins at welterweight(a huge one in the undefeated sakurai) middle(ruled with an iron fist) and light heavy(2 of the best performances by a MMA fighter period)

I agree that Silva is no doubt in that mix, but let's be real here. The term "GOAT" is quite subjective and really relates to the observer and who they grew up watching.

That being said, let me throw these out there. The most consecutive wins in the heavyweight division for a UFC heavyweight champ was 2. We have a constant revolving door for the HW picture because it's no secret that HWs can end fights a bit quicker that any other division. Now imagine if an undersized heavyweight fighter step into the the ring/cage and goes off on a 28 fight unbeaten streak within the sharktank of Heavyweight killers in PRIDE and beats the best fighters at their own game. That is beyond impressive in my book.

No disrespect to Anderson, but Fedor gets the GOAT vote from me.

Imagine that a good number of those 28 wins were against people who were badly outmatched and/or on the back half of their careers.

All due respect to Fedor, but his record is fairly padded due to Japanese matchmaking. Even a lot of the fairly respectable guys he fought wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the #1 guy in the world anywhere outside of Japan. He's still a GOAT contender I guess, but he's really more like 14-3 if you only consider the guys who were reasonably legitimate competition at the time he fought them, and that's counting Monson and Ishii.

yeah well "I guess" its Fedor's lack of taking on guys of similar note to: Chonan, Takase, Serra, right?!

Fedor being a can crusher is largely a myth. Go through any fighters record and you'll find plenty of guys that didn't have a chance, except AT THE TIME they were legit fighters in their division.

People only question Fedor's record because he wasn't in the UFC, but check the records Cain, Shane & JDS weren't even contenders when Fedor destroyed the UFC's two top HWs

A lot of the guys Fedor fought were not legit fighters in their division. ANd this wasn't just during his early days.

See Fedor is always good, no matter what he does, but... Why a black dude had to fight 3 times before he could get into "the proper tournament"?

There's a joke somewhere in there, but my brain is not working on full capacity, so I'll just leave to you guys.
