Everybody in the fighting business -except Dana White- consider Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko as the best pound for pound fighter in mixed martial arts.

He started his MMA career in Rings, the Japanese organization on May 21, 2000 against Martin Lazarov. He sports a 30-1 fighting record, the only loss appearing on his stats is due to an accidental cut against Tsuyoshi Kohsaka in Rings on December 22, 2000.

He avenged that only loss five years later by TKO in the first round in the Pride Championship ring at Pride Bushido 6 on April 3, 2005.

Other than that, Fedor record only shows victories. He won the Rings World Class Tournament on February 15, 2002 versus Chris Haseman and then entered the Pride Championship with a unanimous victory against Semmy Schilt at Pride 21: Demolition on June 23, 2002.

Emelianenko won the Pride Heavyweight Championship title against Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira by unanimous decision after demolishing Heath Herring in one round. He never lost that Heavyweight title until Pride Championship went bankrupt. He also won the Pride 2004 HW grand prix at Pride Shockwave 2004 against Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira while defending his heavyweight title at the same time.

Since Pride collapsed, Fedor didn’t fight a lot. He was supposed to compete in the UFC but Fedor and his management couldn’t find an agreement with UFC chairman Dana White. As a free agent he fought Matt Lindland at BodogFight – Clash of the Nations in St. Petersburg, Russia on April 14, 2007 and against the monstrous Korean fighter Hong-Man Choi at Yarennoka! on December 31, 2007 in Saitama, Japan for the new year Eve party.

In 2008 Afflictions – the T-shirt company- created their own MMA event and hired the Russian free agent. He won the newly created WAMMA Heavyweight title against Tim Silvia by rear naked choke at 0:36 seconds of the first round. He defended his Wamma title against another former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski by KO at Affliction: Day of Reckoning on January 24, 2009. He is scheduled to face Josh Barnett at Affliction 3 on August 1, 2009 in Anaheim, California.
