I have a lot of respect for Fedor Emelianenko, who beat me two times.
Fedor has no weakness. I have seen so many fights, and even the best fighters in the world have a flaw in their game but I have yet to find one in Fedor Emelianenko.
I like Fedor. I like him because Fedor never talk too much before the fight, has a lot of respect for fighters. I like Fedor.
I would love to fight Fedor Emelianenko in Russia, maybe we can make that happen.
I considered accepting Fedor Emelianenko's offer and rematch him in Russia. I wanted an extra million dollars to do it, but they declined.
I have to test myself against Fedor. I have a lot of people behind me and I'll do all that's possible to beat him.
No more flying knees against Fedor Emelianenko, no more getting back with my hands down like how it was against Rogers. I just can't do that anymore.
Fighters are raised into MMA. It's more about what's internal, not what's God given. When you have a great fighter like Rickson Gracie or Fedor Emelianenko-they're greater than the others because they have an internal spiritual being that separates them from the rest in their craft. They have the warrior spirit.
I respect Fedor a lot, he's an example in our world. I would give him this rematch, for sure.
I want to fight Fedor, a lot. I respect him a lot, and I want to give him the chance to fight me again.
Emotion is more than just anger. When I am performing, I need emotion, but I need control, too. Emotion drives the best performance and is necessary, but it must be controlled. I believe Fedor [Emelianenko] does that. I do too. We may look different in how we do it, but we both do it.
I want Fedor to beat Sylvia.
Fedor is the greatest, no doubt. For me, in a matter of admiration, he is the greatest of all time. He is a heavyweight who beat everybody. He certainly was 'The Baddest Man on the Planet.'
I think Lesnar could probably beat Fedor, just from pure size.
A lot of times, you beat a person who beat a person who can beat you. I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
I respected Fedor for a long time. I never said bad things about him, never in my life. I respect him a lot.
Tim Sylvia is 6-foot-8, 265, and Fedor beat him, so that showed that size doesn't make a big difference.
