Fedor Emelianenko Voted The Greatest Fighter Of All Time By Brazilian Fans

Porto de Vale Tudo, a big Brazilian website, conducted a month-long poll in August asking one question – who is the greatest fighter of all time?  Considering that this was done in Brazil it’s pretty shocking that a Russian ended up being the overwhelming favorite.  It’s good to see Brazilian fans are fair and truthful in their evaluation of fighters.

Fedor Emelianenko: 73%
Anderson Silva: 12%
Rodrigo Minotauro (Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira): 7%
Dan Henderson: 7%
Randy Couture: 1%

Rulon Gardner Admits He Turned Down Big Bucks to Fight Fedor

It would have been cool to see Fedor fight Rulon Gardner, both are such respectful honorable guys. Fedor has already beat several Olympic medal winners, it would have been interesting. People think the purses from the UFC are big, the UFC is small time, even now. Pride offered Rulon Gardner 1 million to fight Fedor almost a decade ago.

The Expendables 3 Looking to Add Nic Cage, Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford

“We’ve approached Clint Eastwood to be one of the guys, we’ve got a character in mind for him. We’re talking to Harrison Ford. [And we want] Wesley Snipes when he comes back from prison. I’ll give you one more name, we’ve got Nicolas Cage to play [one of the characters].” -Avi Lerner (Expendables producer)

I don’t know if all of these actors will work out but those are some pretty good additions to the franchise, especially Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood.  Now if they could only get Sean Connery to come out of retirement!

I love seeing all of the old action stars back, and together on the big screen.
