Author Topic: Chuck Liddell: Fedor Emelianenko is overrated (Read 5580 times)

“I truly believe [Fedor Emelianenko is] overrated. I’ve heard he picks and chooses some of his fights. You’ve got to wonder why he chose to fight a guy like Matt Lindland –- who weighs 185lbs! I heard he was negotiating with some other people who were heavyweights who would have been more of a challenge to him and he turned those down. He doesn’t have a great shot, he doesn’t have one punch power and to my knowledge he’s never knocked anyone out from his feet standing up. So I think anybody that can stop a takedown is going to be a good fight for him if they can strike.”

He's obviously overrated, half on the internet thinks he is the second coming. Question is how over rated is he?

people rather see kimbo fight randy than fedor

man, its already difficult to see people say stupid things on the web and such, but its something you can understand...but a professional fighter as he is, HAVE to think twice before saying things like that...

why the fuck dont he challenges Fedor then if its so easy?

talking shit its sooooooooooooooooooo easy

Fedor would destroy Chuck.

This is coming from a guy that lost to Jardine.

I think it's kind of chicken shit for a guy in one weight division to be rippin on another guy that's in another weight division knowing that he'll never have to face him...

everyones entitled to their opinion but factor in the fact that liddel is dana's little pet and chucks view of anyone outside of (and threatening to) the UFC is meaningless

Chuck calling somebody else overrated.

Gotto love the irony.

As long as he's getting 500k/fight he'll say whatever Dana tells him to.

Fedor is simply the best...

He should prove it in the UFC then.....

Which has a vastly improved heavyweight division in the last year.

haha i guess chuck didn't realize that little 185 pound matt lindland gave rampage all he could handle

how did chuck do against rampage? oh yeah he got embarrased twice

how on earth does a guy who couldn't outstrike the "dean of mean" talk shit about the great Fedor?

Matt Linland weighed 213 when he fought Fedor.

yeah, improved with a lot of ex-Pride guys who Fedor already beat, some of them, more than once...

Fedor is no doubt awesome. In Pride.

I'd still like to see how good he would do in a cage.

Yeah, with the guy holding the belt already having been completely DESTROYED by Fedor three times already. What would fighting the UFC prove? That he can beat guys that aren't even in his league? Tim Sylvia is arguably the #2 fighter in the UFC HW division. What a crock.

I would say Nog is in his league, but in reality, he's not. The destructions at the hands of Fedor prove it.

The only guy capable of beating Fedor right now is most likely Barnett, and he's not in the UFC.

UPINTHEMGUTS · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2008, 12:38:44 PM »

He probably makes a shit load more money in Pride anyway.

Dana White would probably offer peanuts compared to what he makes per fight.

Still would love to see Couture fight Fedor.

not sure that it ever was,but the more time pass's the more the ship has sailed on randy's chance to even be physically competitive with fedor.....

for me the interest in seeing Couture and Fedor faded a couple months ago

Fury · « **Reply #20 on:** March 26, 2008, 01:05:55 PM »

This Randy hype is so old. The guy beat Tim Sylvia and an incredibly overrated Gonzaga and got wrecked by Liddell before that. Why is there any reason to think that he's in Fedor's league? It just goes to show how terrible the UFC HW division is when beating Tim Sylvia warrants a top 3 HW ranking. $:-\$

UPINTHEMGUTS · « **Reply #21 on:** March 26, 2008, 02:27:05 PM »

The Randy hype is definatley old. At 44 years old, probably not a good idea to step into the ring with a much younger, in his prime Fedor.

But on ground and pound skills alone, those two would throw up counter after counter move unil Fedor's youth and stamina took over.
