EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The revisionist history will start now.
After two losses in a row for Fedor Emelianenko, the naysayers and narrow-mindeds will come out in an attempt to discredit everything he ever did. Let’s make this clear: Emelianenko is the greatest heavyweight mixed martial artist of all time. Perhaps one day he will be surpassed in the historical argument, but for now he is No. 1 with a bullet. There shouldn’t be a conversation, let alone a debate about it.
It seems important to settle this now, with Emelianenko perhaps at the end of his career. After dropping his second fight in a row, he suggested that retirement was a possibility.
