Helwani made Fedor laugh. That's a great achievement.

[@SanyamJain1989]

Legend. I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of his prime run. One of my favourite fighters of all time!

[@gasbulla8141]

It was a privilege to watch his days in PRIDE. It’s a shame the newer fans don’t appreciate it.

[@casualmmafan4258]

I had to watch his run on KZbin, I would have loved to have been there live especially the randleman fight (rip). Fedor isn’t just the best not hav fought in the ufc, he’s the best period. I’ve only followed the sport for 6-7 years but trust me, the legend of pride and the last emperor lives on.

Fedor is a true legend. I'll never forget looking up his fight highlights on youtube back in the day. Instantly became a fan, can't wait to see him round out an epic career.

I hope Fedor wins his next two fights, hopefully a title fight against Bader again, and rides onto the sunset. They gotta put him and Khabib in a John Wick movie :-)

[@danf8047]

I grew up watching Fedor fight and destroy everybody. He was so dominant and tough.... so many memorable fights against Cro-cop, Randleman, Arlovski, Hong,..etc

[@andrewstokes6623]

The Last Emperor, never got to watch this man fight in his prime but since I got into this game I went back and watched it all, this dude was brutal and he was frighteningly calm about it, no doubt he would have scared me had I watched him fight live, I hope he wins his next fight and I hope he lives well after fighting, he's earned that.

They haven't been talking to each other for years. Alex has been drinking non-stop for the last half-year. He sobered up recently and now doing pop-mma / freak show fights.

Islam is the truth. Read the Qur'an

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦

[@S3RAVA3LM]

Islam isn't the Truth, it's a belief. To be of Truth is growing in the direction of light. To say what you think is truth, is to indicate what is not. For you to think you know what Truth is and everybody else doesn't, automatically makes you evil and since you proclaim Islam, it must not be of God, because God is impartial. God doesn't seperate or divide. Corrupted man divides, they belief in their beliefs more than in Life, God. The religious people are quite fooled, greatly deceived. They have a belief, Which is really the EGO. You're evil.

Undefeated for a decade beat nearly all of the top heavyweights on the planet in his era, smashed several former UFC champs, he was 31 - 1 after his win against Brett Rogers.
