#1 Fedor Emelianenko
Fedor Emelianenko is often criticized by the vast majority of MMA fans and critics for allegedly padding his record and ‘running’ from world class opposition in the UFC. Nonsense, I say!

Fedor fought the very best in the world in MMA’s most notorious weight-class, ergo the Heavyweight division. ‘The Last Emperor’ ruled the division of giants with an iron fist for a decade, and only seemed to fall off track towards the fag end of his career.

His Sambo-centric wrestling, lethal KO power and excellent Jiu-Jitsu helped him slay the biggest names in MMA back in the day, including Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic, Antonio Nogueira, Andrei Arlovski, and Mark Hunt to name a few.
His timing was otherworldly and sense of calm downright frightening. To rule a division of giant destroyers, being a 5’11” relatively small fighter, is no small feat, mind you. And Fedor did just that.
Long live the Last Emperor!
