Google is your friend!

The Last Emperor = Fedor Emilianenko
The Axe Murderer = Wanderlei Silva
Rush = Georges St. Pierre
Shogun = Mauricio Rua

They're all Mixed Martial Artists. In my opinion Fedor is the baddest man on the planet. Wanderlei has always been my favorite fighter, but he's been going down hill lately. Still LOVE the guy though. Read any interview of his and see that he lives to fight and especially please his fans. GSP is the UFC welterweight (170lb) champion, and Rua was once considered the most dangerous light heavyweight (205lbs) in the world, but is coming off of two torn ACL surgeries. He just bounced back, though, with a pretty impressive KO win over Chuck Liddell.

If you're in to MMA, do a google video highlight search for any of the above.

He makes the guys who climb everest look like sissies in my book.

everest is only tall, not hard (in relation to the other 8K meter peaks)...K2 on the other hand...
i forgot SHACKLETON!

talk about hero...frozen in the ice, takes a tiny couple of boats a few thousand miles across a relativley unknown ocean, hikes across an glacier and crevasse infested pennisula, gets ANOTHER ship, sails back to the rest of crew....noone dies. no one dies....that's crazy

In my opinion Fedor is the baddest man on the planet.

Agreed.....plus he's humble.

Im still into the oldies... Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Duane Allman, but damm that dude on the bike is badd-ass. Does he play guitar?
I just saw Uriah Fabor on the tube last night, it went 5 rounds and I dont know who was better, Uriah for winning or the other guy for lasting. Remember when Gracie, Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock used to fight in the early days of UFC? That was some heroic shit too.
On the NCKA bourd now I vote for Frank and Operation Mom

The SICKEST arms in skating.  Good call, Zee.

I went with the "kid wonder" aspect of Tiger for my choice, Guy Mariano.  Dude was sick back in the day when no one gave a shit about skateboarding (pre x-games), and he still kills it...

Anyone know how to post it without it being double like that?

[Bungle]

Poor Fedor...  he has no competition and is doomed to wear that bored look on his face forever. 

Anyone know how to post it without it being double like that?

Just copy and paste the url in your post.  Don't bother with their embed code.  Took me a bit of time goofing with it before I figured it out, too.

Word.

Thanks Nate!

post 'em up!



For me - Edson Arantes Do Nacimento = Pele.

This guy was waaaaaaay ahead of his time and to this day, you will not find a better "footballer" out there!!! Can't believe they haven't made a movie about him already
