He has fought more top competition and I've never seen anyone beat him. I've seen Anderson Silva tap out like a bitch against mediocre Japanese wrestlers (Takase, Chonan etc.). Fedor has beaten all his opponents. It can even be argued that Fedor has never even lost a round outside of RINGS. Silva has lost many rounds, including the first round against Henderson. Fedor is on a 28 win streak. Silva is on a meager 10 win streak. Fedor consistently fights guys much bigger than himself while Silva usually has height and reach advantage in his fights. As for their most recent fight respectively, Fedor destroying a top 5 HW in 36 seconds was a lot more impressive than Silva destoying an unranked LHW in 61 seconds. It's not even a contest. Fedor is the most accomplished of the two and he's undefeated. Fedor is 6-0 against current or former UFC champions. How many big champions have Silva beaten? That's right. 28-0 > 22-3 Easily Fedor.

In short, it will take someone who is not afraid to stand with him, has the chin to take whatever he can dish out, the ballsiness and self-confidence to really get after him wherever the fight may happen to go (Tim seemed to freeze in that fight saturday night), the hand-speed to match him in the exchanges, and nog-like technical skill on the ground. Give Big Nog world-class stand-up and world-class fast twitch muscles (and maybe an olympic-caliber wrestling pedigree) and you have the man who can beat Emelianenko.

Right now, there is not a heavyweight in the world who can challenge Emelianenko - and he's smaller than many of his foes, to boot (whereas silva cuts a lot of weight to get down to middle-weight and has the dimensions of someone who could easily fight one or even two weight classes above where he does habitually). Right now, Emelianenko is the one man in the world no one wants to fight on the street: he's super-skilled; he is diamond-tough; he's russian (which means he's a closet sadist); and he seems to have no fear (he went right after Timmy even though Silvia is a much bigger man and has heavy and effective hands). guy's a beast - even if I don't like him or his camp. this is a silly article; Emelianenko is so clearly the most dominant and destructive fighter in MMA; you’d have to be a TUF Noob or a lackey for the UFC to argue otherwise.

NOW. since anderson silva has been in the ufc, a lot of people have doubted him. when he 1st arrived it was so he could a CHALLENGER to franklins title, not someone who was sent to destroy him. majority of fans thought that ace had too much an all-around game 4 the spider. we all know what happend there. Lutter, big bjj master, wins the fight as soon as it hits the ground. yeah right. marquardt, good wrestler. 7 TIME KING OF PANCRASE with heavy hands. didnt happen. and my all time fave, HENDO! Mr. olympic credentials. now i went to go see this fight live and i cant tell u how awesome it was to see everyones face around me when hendo looked like he was about to swallow his tongue. priceless. now lets finally give silva some credit where its due. he's beaten everyone he was doubted to beat. and yes that includes irvin who people thought was gonna ko silva. i know alot of people will make excuses 4 the sandman but i will say this. silva is more than capable of destroying someone's face at 185 or 205. ask the sandman #51

That's really the only way to settle this argument.

Randy Couture, who everyone seems to think is one of the best, is highly overrated. Yes, he beat Silvia and Gonzaga, but neither of them are very impressive. Couture couldn't even beat Liddell at 205. That's why he retired, then moved back up to heavyweight where the competition was weaker. As for Silvia, there is a reason why the UFC did not resign him. He sucks. Fedor is head and shoulders above anyone in the heavyweight division, however, that division is definitely the weakest.
