Brock Lesnar "Feels Bad" for Fedor Emelianenko

While champion Brock Lesnar has never been one to pull any punches – although Shane Carwin is hoping he will Saturday night when they collide at UFC 116 for the undisputed heavyweight crown – the brash wrestler wasn’t interested in kicking a downed Fedor Emelianenko.

ā€œIt was disappointing. I hate to see a guy like that,ā€ Lesnar told The Jim Rome Show of Fedor’s abrupt fall from grace. ā€œWhether his legacy was more of a mystique than it was, he stood up and he was respectful and it was tough to see. It reminded me of my first fight against Frank [Mir] when I got really anxious and fell right into the trap.

ā€œThat’s a tough pill to swallow. That’s a big pill to swallow and I definitely do not want to try to swallow that pill again.ā€

When asked if it was possible to sympathize with the man most consider the planet’s top 265-pounder – despite his uncanny ability to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge the Octagon – the former WWE superstar claimed to be spearheading the ā€œ2-4-6-8-Who-Do-We-Appreciateā€ charge.

ā€œI feel bad for him,ā€ Lesnar candidly stated.

Although Lesnar witnessed Fabricio Werdum end Emelianenko’s nearly decade-long winning streak in :69 OH MY GOD seconds, he believes his legacy is still intact because it happens to the best of them – including Lesnar.

ā€œNo I don’t. I don’t think any less of him,ā€ Lesnar said of the Russian. ā€œWe’re human beings and we all make mistakes and it’s whether or not we can get up and better ourselves. That’s what true champions are made of, I believe.ā€

Emelianenko’s resume still reads an unprecedented 31-2. He rattled-off 27 straight W’s the last time he lost a scrap.
