The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Fedor Emelianenko
- A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training; then he will face the fight calm and balanced.
- The UFC didn’t want me to fight there so what could I do? We were unable to make a deal. They offered unacceptable conditions.
- I’m very grateful to God for what he gives me. Victories, remarkable victories, but you have to go through the defeats. That is why I praise God for everything.
- You know when a person goes into the ring to win, or at least not to lose. I mean, when a fighter is ready and goes to fight, than it can be seen by his look. Regardless of whether he gets hit or not, he goes forward, and regardless of whether he wins or loses, he wants to go forward, and it is clear from his burning eyes.
- I would like to have a rematch against Fabricio Werdum.
- People are making judgements about Russian people based on me. This is why I never allow myself any aggression towards my opponent.
- I don’t think about fights that didn’t happen.
- No one expected me to become a champion.
- Actually, when I fought in PRIDE, we had the best fighters in the world. Back then, the UFC had a very serious and big crisis; they were going through some tough times trying to get top fighters. All the best fighters were in PRIDE.
- Most importantly, you have to stay true to yourself as well as those fans who made you who you are as an athlete.
Fedor Emelianenko (born September 28, 1976) is a retired Russian mixed martial artist widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights in MMA history. Born in Rubizhne, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union), he grew up in Russia and trained in judo and sambo, becoming a national champion before transitioning to professional MMA.
Emelianenko rose to prominence in the early 2000s, particularly in Japan’s PRIDE Fighting Championships, where he dominated the heavyweight division with his calm demeanor, explosive striking, and world-class grappling. From 2000 to 2010, he enjoyed an almost decade-long unbeaten streak, defeating legends such as Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, and Mark Coleman. His reign made him a global icon and cemented his legacy as “The Last Emperor.”
After competing in Strikeforce, Bellator, and other promotions, Emelianenko retired in 2023. Beyond his fighting career, he has served in Russian politics and sports administration, influencing future generations of fighters.
