I could drone on for days about the time I saw Pedro Rizzo fight Gilbert Yvel at The Ultimate Chaos in Biloxi, Mississippi back in 2009, but it wouldn't negate the fact that it was one of the most brutal ground-and-pound finishes anyone has ever witnessed outside of UFC or Pride FC. Ironically, Fedor Emelianenko vs. Pedro Rizzo was a fight that nearly occurred back in 2006, but Rizzo fought Fedor's teammate at the time, Red Devil Sport Club's Roman Zentsov. It didn't quite end well for Rizzo. In fact, the dude was knocked out in twenty-five seconds with just one supremely placed punch in the first round.

Now according to a tweet this morning from M-1's Evgeni Kogan, The Last Emperor will face The Rock on June 21st in (we assume) Moscow, Russia. There you have it, your first present for this beautiful 4/20 -- or as I like to refer to it: The day when LayzieTheSavage does absolutely nothing.

You're thinking of Ricco Rodriguez. Pedro hasn't fought since he tko'd Ken Shamrock almost two years ago.

Duffee would make for a much better fight. This is bullshit. Even Tim Sylvia would make a better fight. Or how about Kharitonov? Or a Bellator collaboration against Konrad, or anything but this fight!

Tragic to see Fedor officially hit the retirement circuit.

2012 is not a good year to be fighting someone who's last opponent was Ken Shamrock.

This fight sucks, but I'm amused knowing that NO ONE will ever surpass Fedor's record for defeating UFC champions and people who fought for the UFC championship.

How many current UFC champions did he fight? Answer = 0. Fedor only ever beat ex-UFC champs, people who had already been beaten by UFC fighters.

And people who beat Fedor only beat the Ex-Pride champ.

That has no bearing on this argument. He never fought in the UFC and that's the point. Anyone he beat outside of the UFC makes no difference to that simple fact.

Dana Whitu's original post was pointing out that he has beaten a large number of UFC Champs - regardless of their Title holding, ranking at the time. It had nothing to do with WHERE he fought them..

You however were trying to point out that these people had already been beaten before they vacated the UFC... An insinuation that Fedor only beat UFC fighters that were no longer in their primes. Thus, taking away any credit for beating them.

My point is exactly the same. Fedor is no longer considered to be his prime so anyone who has beaten him... Oh well, right?

^ HAHA true dat! Its a ridiculous hashtag. What a complete moron. Fedors is done, just come to terms with it, He managed to create a wonderful record for a while. Truth is all the Fedor nut huggers need to admit it once and for all. Words of wisdom fuckers.

If the sport wasn't run like WWE with a fucking monopoly we would have much better fights. You know it's true.

BTW fight between too legends, but Fedor's getting this one. Can't see his 2.0 version losing to Rizzo nowadays. It would be awesome both in their primes too.
