Fedor Emelianenko

Fedor Emelianenko went unbeaten for over nine years and 27 fights, a streak that included 19 consecutive wins against Pride FC's heavyweight elite. He defeated four former UFC champions—including Kevin Randleman and Mark Coleman—with a 2010 record of 34-1. Fedor's 8-0 run in Pride tournaments is unmatched, as he submitted Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira in 2003 and knocked out Mirko Cro Cop in 2006. His average fight time of just 6.2 minutes was faster than the typical heavyweight bout by 40%. While #5 Demetrious Johnson dominated with speed, Fedor's power and grappling earned him heavyweight-king status for a decade. He remains the only fighter to hold Pride's heavyweight title without a single loss, a benchmark no other heavyweight—including #7 Amanda Nunes—has approached in their prime division.
