Ronda Rousey, the former undisputed bantamweight champion in both UFC and Strikeforce, has weighed in on the debate about the greatest mixed martial artist of all time…
And, in her view, the GOAT title belongs to none other than the Russian heavyweight legend, Fedor Emelianenko.
Here’s what she had to say in an interview with TalkSport:
I think Fedor (Emelianenko), dude, his time had it all.
He had a relationship with Judo, too.
I am a big nerd for Judo, and Sambo is basically Russian Judo.I’ve got to say, too, his [Emelianenko] versus (Mirko Cro Cop) is my favorite MMA match of all time.
Having exited the MMA scene after a knockout loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016 and subsequently ruled out from a potential comeback by UFC president Dana White, Rousey has since focused on other endeavors.
For example, competing in pro wrestling!
