Fedor the best heavyweight in the world
When Randy Couture faced Brock Lesnar at UFC 91, it was billed as the biggest match-up in MMA history. Some claimed that the winner would become the number one heavyweight in the world. A lot of the time in a big match up like this the losers often consoles himself by claiming that his opponent is the best in the world. I’m glad Randy Couture didn’t make any of those kinds of statements and "kept it real" in this post fight interview. When asked about a match between Lesnar and Fedor he replied:
Randy: "I think Fedor would tear Brock up"
Its pretty clear that Fedor Emelianenko is the words best heavyweight. There are no more than two or three contenders for his number one position. Andrei Arlovski is one of those men. On Saturday the world will crown the best heavyweight in the world.
