Emelianenko Fedor vs Heath Herring - Pride 23 - Championship Chaos 2

Straight up mauling by Fedor!

This was before Fedor Emelianenko became fat! so just imagine how hard he was to deal with physically!

Последний император 🤘🤘🤘

Both the commentators were so confident that Heath gonna win the fight before it starts.... 1 minute silence for them..

Love Pride FC

Heath was a problem back then but Fedor solved it

Ubio ga je ko vola u kupusu.

I always liked when bas would commentate and call Heath the crazy Texas horse.

Fedor🇷🇸❤🇷🇺🏆

Flawless Victory 🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲

Here after he retired 😢

Pressão do fedor

Спасибо большое Федор Емельяненко 🇷🇸🇷🇺🏆 Правда

First ever MMA event I saw 🤩

Anyone with hair like that deserves to get his ass beat.

No disrespect to Heath, but even when he was on top for a brief period his punches seemed like child's play compared to what Fedor delivered to him.

pride not allowing elbows on the ground is almost as silly as UFC not allowing knees.

I can perhaps understand banning stomps do a downed opponents head -- if you want to make a safety rule, that one is perhaps wise, as a fully perfectly landed heavyweight stomp could be horrific. Imagine if Mark Hunt's stomps attempted on wanderlai when he was down had landed as example.

But I do wish elbows and knees were allowed always in all positions in MMA -- banning knees to a grounded opponent like ufc does seems to favor wrestlers a ton, doesn't it? Why do that and make your sport less exciting, and less realistic.

If knees to grounded opponents were allowed, every shot wrestlers go for would be far more of a gamble, bc if opponents sprawls and captures your head, you're in extreme danger right away. Whereas now, in UFC, there's no consequence except the guy gets to put his weight on you.

Also how can they still not have gotten rid of that 12 to 6 elbow rule when every single person in the world knows it's stupid and not real. How is it possible they keep that rule, when everyone knows it's total nonsense that 12 to 6 elbows are dangerous any more so than any other elbow.

stupid rules still ruin mma.

Pride was the closest to the real thing. And wrestlers had a lot more trouble there than they do in the UFC.

Now that guys face matches his hair! Both look stupiid!

Браво русский боец Федор Емельяненко! Русский боец славно поколотил своего противника ❤❤❤❤❤

Fedor's run in Pride was legendary. Can you blame Quadros and Bas for picking Heath to win? Heath was an improving, exciting and cool fighter! "The holland training" was a very real thing! Bas respected that.
Heath only lost to Vitor and Nog! He beat Mark Kerr and Igor Vovchanchyn! He was perfectly respectable!

You gotta remember, MMA info was still kind of hard to come by in the early-mid 2000s. I guess if you were active on sherdog and were really tuned in, you'd have more knowledge. I relied on sherdog stats and my older brother talking about the next big guy. Maybe he showed Heath Herring's busted up face! That's kind of how you knew who was good. Same thing happened with Cro-Cop. There was a picture of Heath's ribs caving in from a Cro-Cop kick, and it was like "DAAAAAANG!" Heath went down! Shocking to see at the time.

Heath took some SERIOUS beatings for the growing sport. He was kind of like Yamcha or Tien, with all due respect! Tough guy, but gets beat by the elites.
Next gen Gary Goodridge, Pre Cowboy Cerrone. "fight anyone anytime anywhere." That kind of guy.

Tapes were starting to circulate and we tried getting whatever came out.
We KNEW about Heath Herring from a bunch of PRIDEFC events, Nog was the man to beat.
Fedor only fought Semmy Schilt, which I was under the impression he was more of a K-1 guy. I guess he was just a beast everywhere.
I'm sure some older people knew about RINGS, we recognized T.K's name but heard it was a weird DQ! Arona was kind of boring, Babalu wasn't exactly a big name at the time.

Fight should’ve been called earlier, unnecessary mauling by Fedor.

Fedor GOAT

I respect any man who can go 14 minutes with prime Fedor. You just fought the best.

7 months later he loses to Crocop, his record is still pretty good

This is high level heavyweight mma. Fedor is one of the GOATS. Give Herring credit too. Got the living shit kicked out of him n fought on. Fedor was just insane back then

not so easy as dancing around against Giant Silva is it cowboy?

Fedor is the style I try so hard to emulate.......

ヒースへリングの打たれ強さは半端ない。パンチから逃げるのが上手いのかな。明らかにヒョードルが打ち疲れている。

And no one ever bet against fedor again while im pride

These commentators are talking like they don't know who Fedor is. They know now!!

как другим по лицу стучать , так нормально , а как самому ? ну нафиг ещё карточку попортят ))))))

That haircut is shit.

Heath "My plan was to wear out his hands with my face."

I forgot about the early Fedor fights. Before everyone knew what a beast he was. I first saw this back when I was in highschool still.

Fedor savagery is unmatched

Великий и скромный Федя побил чувачка из Аватара )

👌👌👌👌👌

Man Fedors GnP was different

its wierd seeing anyone bet against fedor

Yeah count Heath out. Fedor was an animal.

Russians always wins

Федор это и есть медведь

The ufc doesn't celebrate pride enough and that's bullshit

Dude – thank you
