Fedor Emelianenko is a legend that is considered the king of MMA’s Golden Age. In a period when MMA was more attractive and more widespread in Japan. the Last Emperor managed to stay 10 years undefeated, being Pride heavyweight champion between 2003 and 2008. Fedor is the longest reigning top pound-for-pound ranked fighter in MMA history.
The result was about what you would expect for an international Fedor fight.
Singh came into their marquee match up with an impressive kickboxing background, but was unable to resist to his more powerful opponent. "The Last Emperor," as he did so many times throughout his PRIDE FC career, took his larger foe to the mat, achieved mount with little-to-no effort, and wailed away until the referee intervened.
It is still great to see Fedor compete again in a good condition.
