How many of you actually know how to pronounce the GOAT (Fedor's) name correctly?

[ComfortablyNumb55]

No it's fadoor.

 

[Natural Order]

Fyo-door Yem-el-yan-enko

The equivalent of Theodore.

It's true, his name translates to Teddy Emelianenko! lol!

 

[Bojka]

[TheBulge]

I even know how to say his last name properly like a douchebag. Yemelyeaaanenko. With the proper inflection.

 

[Clark Rogers]

However Tito said it during that one fight. That's it, perfectly said.

True story, when I met Fedor at Trump tower for the Fedor vs Tim sylvia affliction pre fight promotional event like 15 years ago (same one I took my avatar pic at), he was surprised that while shaking his hand I was probably the only one that pronounced his name correctly. I always knew it was like saying Theodore but with a Russian accent. He proceeded to release a small reluctant smile while he signed my mma glove
