Chuck Liddell talks about Fedor Emelianenko

Chuck Liddell shared his opinion about Fedor Emelianenko a while ago. Now he is in an action again. Let's see what he had to say this time.

CHUCK LIDDELL has savaged Fedor Emelianenko following the news the Russian superstar has become a free agent.

Widely regarded as the finest mixed martial artist in the world, fans are desperate to see Emelianenko face ex-UFC star Randy Couture in a dream clash, but so far a deal has not been brokered.

Liddell claims he would love to see the fight happen so the hype surrounding Fedor can finally be dispelled.

‘The Iceman’ said: “I’d like to see Fedor fight Randy because I don’t think he can beat Randy.

“He’s good on top – a good ground and pound guy but I think he’d have a real hard time getting on top of a guy like Randy.

“He’s not going to be able to throw him because Randy’s a Greco-Roman wrestler and his shot’s pretty poor so he’d have to submit him from the bottom.

Liddell claims the Russian’s failure to face any big name fighters in the last two years is proof heavyweight grappler Emelianenko is overrated.

Liddell added: ““I truly believe he’s overrated. I’ve heard he picks and chooses some of his fights.

“You’ve got to wonder why he chose to fight a guy like Matt Lindland – who weighs 185lbs!

“I heard he was negotiating with some other people who were heavyweights who would have been more of a challenge to him and he turned those down.

“He doesn’t have a great shot, he doesn’t have one punch power and to my knowledge he’s never knocked anyone out from his feet standing up.

“So I think anybody that can stop a takedown is going to be a good fight for him if they can strike.”

Thanks for sharing, Chuck! :)
