toughest man on the planet?

[AC Slater]

Igor Vovchanchyn imo.

110-12 fight record (kickboxing and mma combined)

Had a 30 fight win streak, was only 5'8 and fought in the heavyweight division.  KO'd much bigger and stronger guys than himself.

This fucker has screws in his elbows and his right hand has had to be reconstructed multiple times from KOing too many people.


*awaits the UFC nut huggers who tout cock chestnar and his mighy 4-1 record as the greatest fighter in the world

It was a sad day when Crocop knocked the shit out of him. 

[Bossa]

Igor was my favourite fighter back in the day...the knockout at 4:30 is still one of the all time best

Shipsekki hands down

I fucking love that vid.

His punches reminds me so much of fedors.

Especially around the 2:54 part etc

[spinnis]

Fucking hell at

3:10 When he faces the 6"8  300 pound Paul Varelans "the polar bear" and makes him look like his HUGE bitch lol.

Igor was a compact KILLING machine.

Good catch.

Legend has it he (Fedor) along with a lot of other fighters tried to mimic his punch.

Next he talks a little bit about his impact on one of the fighter's of today:

Michael Mazur: Do you agree with the statement that Fedor copied your style of punching? What potential fights have never taken place and why?

Igor Vovchanchyn: That’s true but only to some extent. More people were trying to imitate it, including japanese. They called it “Igor Vovchanchyn” punching. I can remember myself entering a gym there and seeing everyone practicing my style of punching.
