Even if you are not at all interested in mixed martial arts or combat sports in general, you have still heard about this fight one way or another. Footage from it spread all over the world, and some photographs became a real treasure trove for various memes. But like an excellent brutal island whiskey, such a legendary fight only gets better over the years, and so today we invite you to watch it again. On December 31, 2007, according to a good long-standing tradition, Fedor Emelianenko went to Japan to take part in a grand tournament. This time it was not Pride, but a one-day promotion called Yarennoka, which held only one tournament in its history. The rival of the Last Emperor was the popular Korean athlete Hong Man Choi, a real giant with a height of 2 meters 18 centimeters and a weight of 160 kg. His nicknames were the Korean Colossus and the Korean Monster, and in addition to his incredible size and strength, he was also distinguished by his powerful punches, as he had extensive experience in K-1, where he defeated such legends as Sammy Schilt, Harry Goodridge, Mighty Mo and Kaoklai Kaenorsing. So it was extremely difficult to call a powerful guy with such a track record a freak, and the audience lay low in anticipation of a cool spectacle. #Fight #Emelianenko #M1
