Magomedov (19 wins, 2 losses) is perhaps the most underrated Russian fighter. Rashid doesn't often finish fights early, but he shows himself to be a very confident and stable fighter. In Russia, he managed to beat everyone he could - from Frodo Khasbulaev and Alexander Yakovlev to Shamil Zavurov and Yasubei Enomoto.
Less is said and written about his fights in the UFC than about the fights of Oleynik or Nurmagomedov, although there is something to see: in the debut, Rashid suffered an elbow lever that looked almost fatal, and in the fight against Elias Silverio he knocked out his opponent 3 seconds before the final bell.
9.
Among his Russian colleagues, Oleinik (51 wins, 10 losses, 1 draw) stands out for his grappling skills and ability to choke opponents. Oleinik began competing when the sport was called “fighting without rules,” and continues when MMA is controlled by athletic commissions, anti-doping laboratories and sponsored by global brands.
Oleinik gained wide fame already as a veteran. During this time, he managed to win victories over Jeff Monson and Mirko Filipovic, seemingly leave MMA and return to the UFC, where he received a couple of awards for the best performance of the evening and became the first person in UFC history to win.
8.
The two-meter heavyweight (27 wins, 6 losses) looks like both an excellent student and a cousin of Ivan Drago, trained specifically for MMA. The main trump cards are impact, character and learning ability. Surprisingly, he became a truly good fighter after he lost to Vitaly Minakov by knockout and lost the Bellator title. After that, Volkov seemed to have fangs, and he began to fight more fiercely and meaningfully. If we single out one victory, it would be the strangulation from the back of the world sambo champion Blagoy Ivanov. Drummer Volkov stepped out of his comfort zone here and defeated a previously undefeated opponent. Alexander remains one of the most promising Russian heavyweights and just recently made a victorious debut in the UFC.
7.
Bagautinov’s path (14 wins, 5 losses) in the UFC from his first fight to the title fight looked exemplary. In his debut, Ali knocked out a Brazilian fighter on his home arena, then convincingly dealt with top contenders Tim Elliott and John Lineker. Bagautinov’s hands were fast, his wrestling was impeccable, his plans for the fight were meaningful and even witty (for example, Lineker lost the fight, never having figured out what to do with Ali, who suddenly took a southpaw stance).
The shine ended before a fight with champion Demitrius Johnson, the best pound-for-pound MMA fighter. Ali was caught doping and lost main fight of his life, losing on points with a devastating score. After losing to Johnson, Ali's career went into decline, but becoming the first Russian to fight for the UFC title in the 21st century is still a major achievement.
6.
Former Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov (19 wins, 0 losses) is fast, agile and coordinated, equally dangerous both on the stand and on the ground. Minakov is capable of throwing knockout punches, the power of which world boxing champion Grigory Drozd admired, and carrying out armbars for which neither Fedor Emelianenko nor Ronda Rousey would be ashamed.
Paradoxically, Vitaly’s most unconvincing fights are those where he showed will and character: he fought against the background of fatigue with Cheick Kongo and caught the fat man Linderman in a blow. These were opponents Minakov should have torn apart, but the fights with them called into question the extent of his endurance and made him wonder whether his winning streak would last against stronger opponents. We should find out the answers soon: Minakov assures that he is about to return to Bellator.
5.
Koreshkov (19 wins, 2 losses) became the Bellator champion, winning two welterweight Grand Prix titles and defeating tough Brazilian Douglas Lima. The Bellator Grand Prix was a very serious test: 3 fights in three months, without any rest. Koreshkov's victories were brought by his ability to fight in a variety of ways in a standing position and strictly adhere to the plans for the fight, invented by his coach Alexander Shlemenko. Koreshkov is Shlemenko’s most successful student and one of the most dangerous strikers among Russian fighters MMA.
4.
Kharitonov (23 wins, 6 losses) became famous for his boxing skills, ability to knock people out, etc. Sergey defeated Andrei Arlovskiy, Fabricio Werdum and Alistair Overeem. Add in Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Josh Barnett and Jeff Monson, all of whom he lost to, and you have a list of the most famous heavyweights of his time. Sometimes he was let down by gaps in his wrestling technique and overconfidence in his stance, but when he hit, people fell.
Perhaps Kharitonov could have achieved even more if he had focused on MMA. But Sergey simultaneously fought according to the rules of kickboxing and in the World Series Boxing for the Azerbaijani team. They say: when he performed at WSB, they had to order special gloves for him - ordinary ones did not fit on his fists.
3.
Khabib (24 wins, 0 losses) is the strongest fighter from our country right now. He trains with UFC champions, speaks excellent English, and is a master at presenting himself and driving people crazy. The latter, as we know from the example of Conor McGregor, is one of the key skills in modern MMA. Nurmagomedov managed to create a brand with its own recognizable elements: wrestling a bear, a hat and trash talk.
Khabib the marketer has lately overshadowed Khabib the fighter, and this is not entirely fair. His winning streak of 24 fights is the longest among active athletes. His forceful style, built on constant pressure and the use of wrestling, has not yet misfired.
On March 4, Nurmagomedov could win the interim UFC title and become the first Russian champion in the history of the world's main MMA promotion. Weight problems did not allow him to do this, and now for Khabib, perhaps the most crucial moment in his career has come. Having made the right conclusions, he will no longer miss the title. If he fails to do so, he will be fired from the UFC, he will hardly find any reason to continue his career, and his previous achievements will be devalued.
2.
Shlemenko (54 victories, 9 defeats, 1 fight declared invalid) is one of the most spectacular Russian fighters; He has no fear of reaching the edge. “Storm” prefers to lose consciousness rather than surrender when caught in a choke hold, and has more than once staged a showdown against opponents whom he could outwit.
Like a hero computer game, Shlemenko has a signature move - the backfist. Side blows to the head and body are no less dangerous. He is one of those fighters who likes to escalate fights and strives for a knockout victory. Alexander literally clawed out the Bellator middleweight title and defeated opponents such as Kendall Grove, Melvin Manhoef and Maikel Falcao. Well, this is perhaps the loudest and most powerful confrontation with the participation of Russian fighters.
1.
Emelianenko’s popularity (36 wins, 4 losses, 1 fight declared invalid) has long gone beyond the boundaries of fighting. The main thing: even if you call ten best fighters MMA from all over the world, not just from Russia, Emelianenko will still be in first place. The fighter from Stary Oskol had not lost for 10 years, beat everyone he could, mixed sambo and unpredictable striking techniques into a completely overpowering cocktail, which turned out to be too strong for Mirko Filipovic, Kevin Randelman, Andrei Orlovsky, Tim Sylvia and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Modern Emelianenko, who has survived several severe defeats, is not at all like Fedor of the Japanese period, a man with eyes watchdog from the time of the Pride performances. But this should not cast a shadow on his old victories. Yes, now Fedor looks like a relic of another era. But this era in the history of heavyweight has never been more fun and tougher.

The relatively recent sport of MMA or mixed martial arts has already acquired its famous persons, who have gone down in history as the most irresistible. Over the 25 years of its existence, this sport has gained enormous fame and continues to develop rapidly. The question of who deserves the title “The Best Fighter in the World” periodically comes to the surface. There are more than enough contenders for this degree of distinction, but one can still single out one fighter who made the greatest contribution to MMA. This is exactly what we will talk about in our article today.
"The Last Emperor"
Fedor Emelianenko is recognized as the most prominent personality in this sport. This is one of the most worthy and strong athletes in all weight categories. Between 2001 and 2009, he took part in 27 battles and during this time no one defeated him. Many experts confidently claim that the four-time world champion is truly the best fighter in the history of MMA.
Childhood and youth of the Russian “Terminator”
F. Emelianenko was born on September 28, 1976. 2 years after the birth of the future athlete, the family moved from Ukraine to Russia. For a long time, all family members lived in a communal apartment, and they had to be crammed into one room. Fedor had an older sister and two younger brothers.
At the age of ten, Emelianenko enrolled in the martial arts section. His mentor in judo and sambo was Vasily Gavrilov. Often the teenager attended training sessions accompanied by his brother, whom he had to keep an eye on. So, in the future, another famous professional athlete appeared in the Emelianenko family.
Russian “Terminator”
A year after successful classes, Fedor received an offer to transfer to sports class, which was created by a trainer-teacher of the highest category Vladimir Voronov. Entering the school did not stop me from continuing my training. After receiving an electrician's diploma, F. Emelianenko decided to take up professional sports. In 1995, he was drafted into the army, where he stubbornly continued to devote time to sports and was even able to increase his muscle mass by several tens of kilograms.
Performances before UFC
In 2009, the Russian “Terminator” won the Russian Sambo Championship, total time to fight three opponents was 41 seconds.
After completing his service, Fedor became a master of sports of Russia in self-defense without weapons (sambo). After winning an international tournament in 1997, he received the title of Master of Sports in judo.
In 1999, Fedor became a member of the Russian sambo team, thereby helping the team get gold at the European Championships, which took place in Istanbul. F. Emelianenko's participation in the national team was short-lived; the reason for his departure was the bias of the judging and the rule by which team members were selected. The last straw for leaving was the need for income for the athlete. The lack of funds pushed Fedor Emelianenko to participate in mixed martial arts, because by this time he already had a family, and the money that was allocated sports organizations, it was not enough. However, leaving the national team did not prevent F. Emelianenko from continuing to participate in sambo competitions.
Since 2000, the athlete, under the guidance of honored coach Alexander Michkov, began intensively studying boxing techniques. Simultaneously with his performances in the UFC, Emelianenko became a member of the Russian Top Team mixed martial arts club, which was managed by Russian sports functionary Vladimir Pogodin. After 3 years, F. Emelianenko moved to the Red Devil Fighting Team club, the founder of which was Russian businessman Vadim Finkelstein.
Career takeoff
The first institution that offered cooperation to F. Emelianenko was the RINGS organization, founded by the Japanese wrestler Akira Maeda. Of the 12 fights in which he participated, he lost only once, and that was when the opponent used an illegal elbow strike. However, this did not prevent him from becoming the champion of this organization in 2001.
Having shown himself in Rings, Emelianenko became interested in many organizations, he was even invited to Pride. According to the athlete, the fights at Pride were the best of his entire career. First, F. Emelianenko defeated Sami Schilt.
2004 was extremely successful for Fedor, during which he always won victories over his rivals. Initially, he defeated M. Coleman, later K. Randleman, and by “putting down” A.R. Nogueira, Emelianenko again confirmed his title as Pride champion.
From the very beginning, the judges suspended the fight with Nogueir because both Fedor and Antonio broke their heads. The rivals met again only at the end of December.
Then the audience watched a series of not very successful fights, but Emelianenko showed himself to be a fighter who always achieves his goals. He was able to defeat Mark Hunt, who could well have won the Pride championship title. Almost at the beginning of the fight, F. Emelianenko broke his toe, but was able to not only finish the fight, but also win. This happened back in 2006. Since Pride went bankrupt very soon, the fighter became its champion forever.
Participation of F. Emelianenko in M-1 Global
Despite the fact that the majority of spectators and experts were of the opinion that the fighter, after Pride went bankrupt, would take part in the 8-sided American ring, otherwise called the “cage,” Fedor opted for “M- 1 Global". In addition, he became its co-owner.
The number of battles for F. Emelianenko decreased sharply, but in Russia they began to show more interest in him. A very bright fight in Fedor’s career took place with the representative of Korea - fighter Hong Man Choi.
There was a time when one of the strongest UFC fighters said on TV that Fedor Emelianenko was scared to fight with professional athletes. Thus, a fight between Emelianenko and T. Silvia was organized. When Fedor defeated him, he received the title of WAMMA champion. In 2009, the need arose to defend this title in the fight against the Belarusian fighter Andrei Orlovsky. This athlete had wonderful technique, and from the very beginning there was a feeling that this fact was very depressing for Emelianenko. But, be that as it may, Fedor defeated the Belarusian too.
Fedor's fans have long assumed that he would sign a contract with Strikeforce. In accordance with it, the athlete had to take part in 3 “cage” fights. Emelianenko’s first fight took place with B. Rogers - here Fedor didn’t even have to strain. Well, unfortunately, he lost the 2nd and 3rd fights. His opponents in these fights were F. Werdum and A. Silva (nickname - Bigfoot).
The end of a difficult journey
Fedor, having suffered such defeats, began to talk about the fact that he probably needed to end his career. But as a result, his fans saw many more victories from him. In the fall of 2011, Emelianenko defeated Jeff Monson, who had good technique and was equal to Fedor in strength. V. Putin personally congratulated the fighter on this victory!
Fedor Emelianenko Awards
In 2012, Emelianenko met with Pedro Rizzo. He defeated him already in the 2nd minute of the 1st round, knocking out his opponent.
Fedor decided to end his career precisely after this fight, in which he also emerged victorious!

Fights mixed style are gaining more and more popularity, and ratings of fights between the best fighters attract a huge audience of viewers. There are many different promotional organizations, each with their own rules and their own stars. However, today most of the strongest athletes perform under the auspices of the UFC, which has absorbed its most serious competitors and has great financial resources.
Ukrainian kickboxer in MMA
Igor Vovchanchyn began his great sports career before the heyday of the UFC and made his mark with fights in the Pride promotion. As a child he worked athletics, boxing, then took up kickboxing seriously, becoming a world champion by the age of twenty. Short for this sport, Igor Vovchanchyn compensated for this deficiency with speed and sharpness, crushing his competitors. In 1995, he first began participating in mixed style fights.
In 1998, the Ukrainian signed a contract with Pride, and during two years of performances in the cage he became one of the best MMA fighters.
In 2000, he was invited to participate in the Grand Prix, where he managed to reach the final. Here the strongest American, Mark Coleman, was waiting for him. Vovchanchyn was exhausted after a tough semi-final match, while Coleman finished off his opponent in the first seconds of the fight, so he lost in a stubborn battle.
The following years, the Ukrainian alternated successful fights with failed ones. The fight with the legendary Mirko Filipovich stands out. The meeting between two kickboxers ended with a powerful blow from the Croatian with his left leg, which knocked out Vovchanchyn. Having completed his career, Igor did not leave MMA and opened his own fight club.
People from all over the world come to mixed style fights. different types sports For example, one of the best MMA fighters of the 2000s can easily be considered a former Greco-Roman wrestler.
Dan Henderson has successfully served as classic wrestler and even represented the USA twice at Olympic Games. Having improved his boxing training, he began to compete in mixed style fights.
The American was one of the UFC's first star fighters, winning the UFC 17 tournament in 1998, then performed extensively in other promotions. He achieved particular success in Pride and Strikeforce, repeatedly collecting world titles from these organizations.
However, Dan fought his main fight in 2011 at the age of 40, when he knocked out the previously unbeaten Fedor Emelianenko, becoming one of the best mixed style fighters of all time.
Few people are capable of becoming a world champion at the age of 43. Randy Couture was born back in 1963, and during his youth no one had heard of mixed style fighting. At this time he was working Greco-Roman wrestling, achieving excellent results on international tournaments. In the mid-nineties, the already aged athlete made the daring decision to engage in fighting without rules and quickly broke into the ranks of the best fighters, becoming the champion of UFC 13 in 1997.
The star fighter repeatedly clashed with the management of the promotion, constantly moving to other organizations. Despite this, by the age of 43, he managed to win the UFC world title five times and entered the hall of fame as the oldest champion.
Randy Couture has victories over such powerful fighters as Kevin Randleman, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Lidel. He fought his last fight at the age of 46 in 2009.
Connor McGregor
Among the best fighters in the world, the magnificent Irish athlete stands apart. Connor McGregor competes in the lightweight category, but many authoritative publications include him in the top five UFC fighters, regardless of weight.
The Irishman holds the world champion title, and another star athlete is eager to meet him - Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Connor McGregor has a very spectacular and unconventional style of fighting. Specialist in martial arts, he works well with his feet, crushing many opponents with his “spinners”. At the same time, his fighting range is very wide, he hits hard with both hands and works well in a boxing stance.
He works especially hard on wrestling and has already achieved the right to a brown belt in jiu-jitsu.
His spectacular style of fighting, as well as his eccentric behavior outside the cage, make McGregor one of the most popular fighters; his fights are sold out like hot cakes by viewers of pay cable channels.
Khabib Nurmagomedov
Dagestan is famous for its freestyle wrestling school and is becoming the homeland of the best mixed style fighters. These include Khabib Nurmagomedov, who ranks 13th in the UFC rankings, regardless of category. In his lightweight he is considered the best after the legendary McGregor, a fight with whom he is diligently seeking.
Unlike the Irishman, Khabib is a wrestling specialist; he twice became the world champion in combat sambo, grappling, pankration. In 2012, he began competing in the UFC.
He was inactive for two years due to injury, but despite this, he managed to fight 30 fights, winning all of them.
Nevertheless, Khabib also has weaknesses. Apparently, he is not entirely comfortable with the boundaries light weight, which is why it’s hard to lose weight before fights. Just after such preparation, he recently felt unwell before the fight with Tony Ferguson, and the fight was postponed.
Stipe Miocic
The American fighter of Croatian origin firmly holds the UFC world heavyweight title. Many analysts recognize him as the absolute best fighter, regardless of weight category. Before joining mixed martial arts, he successfully practiced boxing and wrestling, in particular winning the prestigious Golden Gloves tournament, and was also a Division I NCAA wrestler. This explains his invulnerability both in the standing position and on the ground. A fighter without weaknesses rarely gives his opponent a chance to show his strengths.
The formidable Croatian has victories over Fabio Maldonado, Andrei Orlovski, and Fabricio Werdum. In 2015, Stipe Miocic set a unique achievement in a fight against Mark Hunt, inflicting 361 blows on him. This fight was recognized as “Beating of the Year” by the UFC.
Miesha Tate
Another American beauty is one of the best female MMA fighters. For several years, fans watched with admiration the confrontation between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate in bantamweight division. Just like her main rival, Misha was especially good at choking and painful techniques. At the youth level, she practiced freestyle wrestling, won regional competitions, after which she began to compete in mixed martial arts fights, immediately becoming one of the best fighters. Over and over again knocking over her opponents with her lightning-fast passes to the legs, the American even earned the nickname “Takedown” among fans and specialists.
Her confrontation with Ronda Rousey was especially epic. She met her twice in the fight for the championship belt and lost twice.
Finally, Miesha Tate fulfilled her cherished dream by defeating Collie Holm in the title fight, but did not hold the title for long, losing to the dangerous Brazilian Amanda Nunes.
Ronda Rousey
The list of the world's best MMA fighters would be incomplete without representatives of the fair sex. Former bantamweight world champion Ronda Rousey occupies a special place here. She practiced judo professionally and was already on the US Olympic team at the age of seventeen.
In 2008, Ronda Rousey won the Beijing Olympics in brilliant style. Having won everything she could in amateur sports, the strong girl decided to test herself in mixed style fighting. In the octagon, she made full use of her judo skills, and for many years none of her opponents could match her killer submission techniques.
In her twelve UFC victories, she used the elbow lever, which was her signature move, nine times. From 2012 to 2015, she held the world bantamweight title. A real sensation was her defeat in 2015 from Collie Holm, who managed to keep her dangerous opponent at a distance and knocked out Ronda in boxing style.
A year later, she tried to regain the title of world champion, but again ran into an unyielding opponent with strong striking training. Amanda Nunes managed to break the legendary American and won by technical knockout.
Such ratings are quite subjective and very changeable. So let's see which UFC fighters have been remembered by fans lately. Which of them is known as the toughest, the most knockout, and whom opponents are afraid of when entering the ring.
