My friend grew up in the Soviet Union and still goes back to Russia often, answered the who is more famous question. "Fedor is a huge celebrity in Russia, Karelin is revered. Fedor is an Icon for sport, Karelin is a symbol of Soviet superiority. When people talk about Fedor, they get excited like when Americans talk about Tyson. When people talk about Karelin, they get solemn like when Catholics talk about the Pope."

Well said. The Soviets sought superiority optics in many areas like music and sport. Wrestling, boxing, hockey and more. The propaganda was absolute and Soviet people believed that they together were superior. The Soviets owned the chess world as chess is well known for intelligence and the Soviets used their empire to find talent and dominate the sport because of their collective work. Bobby Fischer the lone American genius with no support from the U.S. govt destroyed their monopoly. The kgb followed Fischer since he was a child as his talent was unquestioned. Despite their communist "state above the people" full establishment of Russian grandmaster assistance and preparation, Fischer took their dominance away and they could not do anything about it. The Soviet govt apologized to the people. Cubans and Russians dominated Olympic boxing as most American fighters fought professionally for the money, as opposed to Soviet athletes who were supported entirely by the govt. Technically the Olympics are for amateurs who have not been paid for the aport. Pro boxers do not compete in the Olympics. What was unfair is that the Soviets basically had pro fighters as the government paid them and supported their needs entirely, where American athletes could not make income for competition. The U.S hockey team beat their dominance with kids, Fischer stripped their intellectual dominance and people like Sugar Ray Leonard Muhhamad Ali (Cassius) and Foreman, displayed total dominance.

@JL-fx5cm3 жыл бұрын
Karelin was a God. He once wrestled for 10yrs straight without losing a single point. Let's look deeper into why he lost the Gardner match. First, he wrestled earlier in the day leaving him a bit weathered to begin with. Second, and this is important, the referee warned Garner several times during the match for "passivity" meaning that he wasn't engaging in battle. Normally, when this happens twice, a point is awarded to the opponent. Well, Gardner was warned five times without a single point awarded. When Karelin lost, he didn't complain. Instead, he took off his wrestling shoes and left them on the wrestling mat as a sign of respect and also signifying a changing of the guard. To further his sign of respect, he attended the next Olympics in support of Gardner. I can go on and on, but I won't. Fedor and Karelin are both Gods of their respective sports therefore one will never badmouth the other.

I love your Fedor stories Chael. I was a huge UFC fan years ago. A friend of mine told me about Fedor and Aleks in Pride, but I never paid much attention. Then a couple years ago I had a lot of spare time and came across Fedor fights on KZbin. So I FINALLY decided to check him out after having moved away from MMA as a whole some years prior. I was blown away by Fedor's AND Alek's fights to a somewhat lessor degree. Aleks is a great fighter. They both look like ordinary dudes you'd meet and think they're just average Joe's. Watching Fedor fighting in Pride turned me into a MMA fan again 💯, and a Fedor fan for life.

Came here to say this. He didn’t “change his grip,” he lost it completely. It happened early in the second period because after a scoreless first was when the rule made them start in the clinch.

In my opinion, Karelin is the single best athlete in any combat sport. His accomplishments were simply insane. The only wrestler who comes close to him in terms of as the GOAT is Cael Sanderson, who went 159-0 in his collegiate career and won 4 straight NCAA championships. But Karelin was simply ridiculous. Undefeated for 13 years, with no one scoring a point on him in 6 years, a feat just as impressive as his record. I can't imagine someone doing something like that in high school, let alone against the best wrestlers in the world, and as for his record, his two losses came at the beginning and very end of his career. Wrestling is not like, say, boxing, where you can pick opponents, and go up against 2 people a year. Karelin average more then 50 matches a year. I'm wrestling, you go up against whoever you go up against. So for 13 years, he beat literally everyone. Even crazy records, like Mayweather's 50-0, aren't even close to 887-2. Also, saying that Karelin juices isn't fair. There's no proof, and Karelin trained like a motherfucker

I am always impressed with Karelin's injury list and how many championships he won while injured. I'm sure he had all the medical care he needed once he became famous, but still...Around January 1988 he had a serious concussion, and doctors considered removing him from the 1988 Olympic team. Karelin won the 1993 World Championships despite breaking two ribs in the opening bout against Matt Ghaffari. At the 1996 European Championships in Budapest, he had torn the right pectoralis major muscle so badly that doctors predicted he would not be able to use his right hand for several months. Karelin won the Championships, but had to be urgently operated on in Budapest. He recovered within three months to compete at the 1996 Olympics

That was a great story to hear that Chael tells. Aleksandr Karelin and Fedor Emelianenko are both superstars in their own sports. I watch that match between Karelin and Rulon. Rulon should never have beaten Karelin, but Aleksandr was preparing to win his 4th Olympic title. The problem was when they panned over to the Karelin match. Karelin looked so disinterested in the match. He didn't even look like he wanted to wrestle that match. I thought he wasn't prepared. Sure enough, Rulon fought the match of his life to defeat one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

YES! I'm so glad Chael brought up this legend for others to learn about. I still don't know enough about him even though I wrestled since I was a kid, and was astonished by Karelin's stature. Before the days of losing to Rulon, back when Karelin was in his prime, I'd never seen anything like him. PED's or not, nobody looks or wrestles like that from only drugs. You might be looking at leftover genetic mixing that developed size and strength demanded by Siberian winters and living amongst some of the harshest environments any hominid lineage endured. Either be big and strong, or die. I'm only half joking here. Thought that since I was a kid, and it's taking scientists forever to finally say "Hey! you know what? Everybody is a mix! Seems that some genetics for certain areas and necessities are leftover! That's why we're all human but different!" Derrrrrr. Just look a people and where they're from, numb nuts. It's a compliment. Anyway, yeah Karelin is a beast, and that reverse lift he used to do was against other huge and strong men that would chuck most of us a country mile. I met Rulon Gardener and got the shameless photo opportunity, and he put one arm around my shoulders the way they do for that nice scene implying we're old friends. Then like he did to everyone else, he started to squeeze. Now I'm a smaller guy, only about 5'7", but at that time in very good shape; at just around 160 pounds, strong enough to bench a little over 300, muscular, could do sets of 30 pull-ups, former wrestler, etc... blah blah you get it. I wasn't fragile. When Gardner squeezed my shoulders SIDEWAYS I thought something might pop or a slight injury would happen if he went further. It was with control but it caused something that I call "educational pain". With one arm. He's THAT strong, and believe me he used everything he could to beat a past-prime Karelin that day. When Karelin did his reverse lift move, some other world-class wrestlers actually quit before it happened. They actually called it, like verbal tapping because the move often put these extremely heavy people briefly towards a pile-driving position, which feels fatal. It eventually gets back exposure and that's all Karelin was going to do with it, but it's terrifying for the victim to feel their 285 pound bodies being tossed in the direction of the head before their back exposure, upside down and backwards possibly paralyzing them for life or death. Karelin would have had to train earlier in life to handle the nasty striking some heavyweights can do; because there's always that chance, but a healthy, somewhat young Karelin trained in MMA? If Alexander could avoid big mistakes, I don't know if there would have been much hope for anybody.

I remember Rulon being interviewed after his win against AK, I think it was Conan O'Brien) and describing wrestling against AK as "you feel like you are wrestling a horse" :-) He also explained that in their last match prior to Sydney he had thrown him 3 times, so he was a bit nervous going into that, I guess. Hard to imagine what a hug from A. Karelin on competition level would come to feel like? I think Rulon also mentioned in that same interview that he would do muscle-snatches with 280-300 lbs (so approx his bodyweight) which is solid since wrestlers would usually do that for reps and not 1 max, but AK was known to lift 400 lbs - just for comparison.
