My father is a neurosurgeon with over two decades of experience performing operations on the human brain and spine. When I showed him this fight, he immediately asked me to replay the part where Fedor gets dropped on his head. After looking closer at the footage, I was told by him that an impact like that could easily snap a man's neck - especially considering how heavy Fedor is. Conclusion: Fedor is either insanely lucky or inhumanly robust to not be phased by what Randleman did to him there.

This still has to be the most brutal slam ever in MMA. Not just a career ender but a very real life ending suplex. Two legends.

Очень жалко Кевина.. Покойся с миром брат, русские тебя любят и помнят.

I met Kevin, one of the nicest and most humble people. Wasn't even into training at that point, was just friends with a guy in highschool who's dad owned a gym. Kevin was just a cool person.

Best slam in the history of MMA. And Fedor..well..he's an all-time great.

Pride was the best mma org. Man I miss it.

18:43 Notice fedor aid Kevin in bringing his arm back around. Small some times missed signs of respect. Fedor is a true gentleman. Kevin has great sportsmanship. May he rest in peace.

Великие бойцы, без кривляний, уважающие друг друга, великий бой. Кевин, покойся с миром

How could he survive a slam like that, he's not human. An awesome move by randalman that didn't phase fador, wow.

45 seconds. From deadly supplecs to fantastic kimura. 45 seconds... And two real men in the ring. R.I.P. Kevin. Be healthy, Fedor. 45 секунд. От смертельного супплекса до фантастической кимуры. 45 секунд... И два настоящих достойных мужчины в клетке. Покойся с миром, Кевин. Здоровья тебе, Фёдор.

Wow.That would've broken my neck.Great fight between two great champions. Love Fodor's toughness and intelligence!

что Кевин, что Федор - настоящие Мужики. Один проиграл с достоинством, второй выиграл без бахвальства...

fedor walks in like he's walking into a store, disinterested almost.

Fedor is my favorite fighter of all times! Seen this vid a hundred times and it still never gets old 💪🏼

We all miss Pride, and We all miss Kevin Randleman. Rest in Peace Kevin. A Great Fighter. ❤💔🖤🤟🤟🤟

Легендарный бой, как и этот бросок тоже вошел в историю. Просто шикарно! Посмотрев это, ты начинаешь понимать, почему Фёдор, легенда/ император! После такого броска, мало кто вообще в сознание останется, а он ещё и по-быстрому, победил. Бой, очень зрелищный.

Rip Mr Randleman. Will always remember how badass you were.

The UFC HW division will never touch the glory days of Pride FC.

18:02 This was the million dollar reversal move that won him the match. Absolutely unreal bodyweight control and execution speed.

fedor is one of the most ferocious, and deadliest but at the same time the most humble and kind man on earth.... I notice in the end of most of his fights, he never gives any extra... never throws a punch that isn't need.... and here for example, after twisting his arm and the fight is called, he continues to hold and support it and gently brings it back to randlemans side 18:43

Fedor Emilianko: Yes I had an accident with a car. After a long agony, the car diad.

60% of comments: Randleman supplex is astonishing 40%: How didn't Fedor passed out from that? 0%: That Kimura by Fedor was awesome.

Огромное уважение к Кевину. Потерпел поражение, но проявил уважение к Федору. 👍

Fedor Emelianenko... You have to love this man! He has great spirit and he always smile and he is a best friend to all who meets him ... Great Man!!

Kevin Randleman was a beast and a real nice guy. Suffered a heart attack and died at 44. RIP bro.

Fedor prime was out of this world. Legend got suplex then how he turn the table around in seconds? real humble world-class not wreckless by fame. Against one of the best wrestlers. enjoy because u won't see a complete athlete who is humble and great all around.

Even with the incredible dump of emotion after such a loss, the show of class and sportsmanship by Kevin (and Fedor) after the fight was just a thing of beauty. Why don't we see that anymore in combat sports? Well, I guess we do once in a while, but we need more of that type of respect. RIP Kevin Randleman. One of the strongest guys to ever do it.

Today we are used to hear noise during UFC, NBA or whatever sports event, but that silence after the entrance in Japans PRIDE was terrifying. Amazing atmosphere for MMA.

RIP Kevin Randleman. He is a legend in MMA.

Kind of teared up at the end seeing Randleman's sportsmanship and knowing he has passed.......

My heart glows seeing these two humble great warriors. RIP Kevin you brought a lot to this world. Thank You Fedor for inspiring many generations of fighters. A true descendant of the Viking race.

Уважение обоим бойцам,уже какой раз просматриваю поединок,восхищаюсь обоими. Да Фёдор это скала!!!!

FEDOR !! This man is Incredible , an absolute Warrior with the cool calmness of a highly respectable , Humble man and I can only imagine.. a kind heart. I love his demeanor and see him as a wonderful example , for men of all creeds to aspire to and study.. along with him , the Gentleman Randleman .. without a doubt, also a Fine Man and Beautiful Soul. Hats off to them both.

Оба бойца заслуживают высочайшего уважения 👍

This was one of the most epic moments in MMA history. A heavyweight getting suplexed like that, and then rolled like nothing and won almost right after.

встреча двух настоячих мужиков, которые могут достойно как выигрывать, так и проигрывать. уважение обеим командам!

No trashtalk rough fight respect each other. REALMEN

не понимаю как,но у японцев получалось делать так,что на фоне этой эпической,феерической истории,где Боги воевали с Титанами, юфси выглядит как возня школоты

Благородные бойцы! Были времена...Вечная память Кевину.... Многих лет, Последнему Императору, Федору Емельяненко!

Fedor even smiled when Kevin picked him up after the match was over. What a great moment

Блин какие же красивые выходы были в Прайде. Очень жаль Кевина Ренделмана, очень очень рано ушёл. Лучший среди лучших бойцов зала Хаммер Хаус.

Fedor is unbelievable!!! I just love his cool calm demeanor.

Настоящие бойцы, настоящий спорт, величайшие чемпионы на все времена!

The fact that slam didnt break Fedors spine is just a testament to what a beast he is. I feel like anyone else could have genuinely died there!

Pra mim o Fedor foi o maior lutador de MMA que esse planeta já viu!

Фёдор выходил победителем там где в него уже никто не верил . Вот за его любят .

One of the greatest moments in MMA history. Thank you Kevin for that Amazing slam, RIP

what a warrior Randleman, facing the best fighter at the time. mountains of respect

Fedor is a Boss💪

Уникальный боец . Несомненно легендарный Емельяненко. Поражает его скоромность. Нет ни одного подобного чемпиона в истории обладающего таким характером и скромностью.

Man, it was just if I was young again watching this... the way they conducted the show, the interviews...and remembering that my parents didn`t let watch this `cause was "too violent". Amazing video !! Thanks for uploading it !!!

One of my favorite MMA fights of all time.

Pride produced the best highlight reels in MMA. So many memorable moments. Miss this era.

How many times you have seen HW making that (18:04) transition? In less than a second he killed any confidence Kevin had from slam. Same speed when he gets Coleman in armbar from below. Incredible. People like HL of that slam, I like how Fedor reacted.

Красавчик!!!Оба достойныйе спортсмены!!!

Randleman pasó de no asimilar la derrota, casi tuvó la victoria en sus manos, a entender que Fedor era el mejor de todos los tiempos y que era un gran honor haberlo puesto en problemas y estar muy cerca d ela victoria, por eso se levanta como un resorte y levanta a un triunfante Emelianenko, mostrandole todo su respeto...y por supuestp el ruso se vió muy sorprendido pero muy respetuosp y agradecido por ese festo de Randleman.

Кевин Ренделман отличный боец и человеком был, пусть земля будет пухом.

UFC compared to Pride is like, fitness yoga center vs mma gym

Эти 45 секунд - лучшее, что было в ММА в принципе. Не фанат боевых искусств, но честно в шоке. После такого броска сделать болевой.. ну это легендарно.

Randleman slam of Fedor will go down as one incredible athletic feat throughout time. Fedor recovers and wins. 2 incredible athletes and people. Both showed so much class after brutal combat. They are true winners. RIP Kevin you are missed..

Федя красавчик!!!! Что и как бы не было... Этот человек всегда будет в моих глазах великим!!!

Вот такой был Федя. К сожалению годы берут свое.

Man I love the UFC but Pride was the GOLDEN AGE of MMA.

R.I.P Kevin. I remember growing up watching Fedor fight and always being amazed. Fedor emelianenko is the true last Emperor.

Randleman screaming in pain,Fedor is soo fast unbelievable

Great sportsmanship by Kevin and Mark Coleman at the end after they both had lost to Fedor. Can't be mad at losing to Fedor.

Thank you very much for uploading this!

You could see how much Fedor was relieved that he survived that slam. I think he knew how bad it could have ended for him. He really respected the hell out of Randleman too.

Rampage,”that’s all right all blacks people look alike..”😂😂😂😂😂 I remember cracking up when I first watched this fight

"WE WILL NOT TEST YOU!!" Thanks Pride for the Best fighting Era and Organization Ever!

It was a pleasant surprise getting to know Kevin through this mini documentary! Looks can be deceiving, he is an honorable man, judging by this video! Rest in peace!

Badass fight, amazing commentary, pride was something else :,)

Бросок просто пиздец идеальный с точки техники, но больше в этом захватывает не сам бросок а то как вообще Фёдор его принял, вообще на изи, как будто никто никого не бросал

When I was deployed to iraq 07-09 this badass can out to visit the troops...and not only did he come, he cane out further than most people to our combat outpost! Nothing but respect ✊ for randleman!

Thanks alot for this video such a treasure

Fedor is the best of all time. I think what else that makes him great is his quiet unassuming manner and his acknowledgment of the opposing side after the fight. That is somewhat gone nowadays.

Вот эти бросок , я думал Фёдор сознание потеряет , наши парни из стали , очень радует уважение к друг другу , Кевин царствие небесное , легенда .

Кевин был красавчик! Такой фактурный и в то же время невероятно подвижный, очень уважаю этого человека. Покойся с миром Кевин, мы помним тебя!!!

"What can you do to make sure the same thing that happened to crocop in the first round, doesn't happen to you?" Fedor Laughs in Russian.

I just came to watch this after Miocic vs DC 3... This guys in Pride really knew how to put on a show! 😱

18:07 That reversal move was incredible.

I went to UFC 92 and had the pleasure of meeting Kevin in a bar outside the MGM Grand Arena. Truth be told I had no idea who he was and we had the best time hanging out and talking and I think he appreciated that I didn't know who he was and so he was just talking to another person as opposed to someone who was a fan. Definitely a night I will always remember

The best of all time MMA "Fedor".

K Randleman one of the most underrated fights yet one of the best, RIP.

ФЕДОРЕ БРАТЕЕ !! Рус- Србин - православац - људина !!!

I can't believe he didn't get knocked out with that slam.

Good Lord I don't know if the suplex or the recovery was more impressive. Insane fight.

Man RIP to Kevin he was such a down to earth dude! Smh can't believe so many legends are gone already.

fedor was a beast, gets slammed on his head, remains calm and seconds later reverses and gets kimura for finish. he's like the terminator

Fedor the last emperator ... simply amazing, he try to escape by every bad situation, mantein always a clean mind, is strong like a bear and quick like a tiger. Realy the only one ..

Кевин царствие ему небесное, был великолепным воином. Уважение.

I love how Emelianenko remained calm during the whole fight and masterly managed it.

2 guerreiros de honra numa luta histórica, nunca mais teremos algo nesse nível. Rip Kevin The Monster Randleman

I'm a newer MMA fan, but I can see why people say that Pride felt so much more special. The theatrics, the huge arena, the entrances, the ring instead of a cage, the actual NAME (not just a number) of the events! It's like the anti-UFC! LOL😂 Dana White said that he doesn't like all this stuff, but honestly if you don't have this stuff, then the pay-per-views just feel regular TBH. UFC events don't feel all that special. Yeah, some of this stuff feels a little WWE, but that's why it feels so grand. Pride knew how to really put on a show, man. It wasn't just the fight that you were entertained by, just like how the football isn't the only thing you're entertained by at the superbowl, it's also the performances which include a bunch of theatrics!! Dana White needs to understand this!!! This is why Pride was winning in the late 90s and early 2000s. Pride probably would've bought the UFC if they weren't discovered for being ran by corrupt people!

Великие Воины и большое взаимоуважение друг к другу. Покойся с миром, Кевин. Фёдор - Крепкого здоровья и всего самого доброго.

17:54 the slam that was heard around the world - the fight is great, it will be remembered for this slam forever

19:44 Rampage style! Rampage: ive never did anything like that.. 😅

Этот, бросок, знает весь мир!!!

I remember watching this live, it was as unbelievable then as it is now.

It's insane to think how close Randleman was to having back-to-back knockouts over Cro Cop AND Fedor. UNREAL!
