Karellin

His legacy is frightening

His record is something ridiculous like 800-2

He is literally the bane of wrestling

born in it

molded by it

[BurningHammer]

A dude who can legitimately deadlift another dude at the same or bigger sized is more scary.

Karelin.

[Nick Young]

Kurt Angle

[oarabbus]

So then Karelin in a wrestling match, Brock in MMA or nah? Karelin for both?

[GIF REACTION]

Those Russians do not play around

I think Karellin was doing like 600 pound zercher deadlifts or something

either way you could see the raw power in him

the way he tossed dudes that were resisting from the mat

Brock is a beast, but Karellin is essentially the chosen one of wrestling

[Nick Young]

We went over this already. Lesnar would destroy Karescrub in the first round.



Brock Lesnar is the only man on the planet capable of going 1 on 1 with a silverback gorilla and winning. Aleksandr Commie-lin is just a speedbump.

Karellin is unlike anything you've ever seen

Karelin vs Emelianenko!

[BurningHammer]

Karalin's only mixed martial art match, probably a fixed one since he would have killed Maeda in 10 seconds if it didn't fix.

Lesnar fought a similar style in MMA. Karelin would probably do the same if he went pro MMA at his prime.

Convince me Karelin wasn't on roids at some point. A Soviet/Russian athlete of that era always needs to be questioned.

Why is that important?

Both of em were spliced to the gills with gear

So an Olympic gold medalist vs a college wrestler? We have a saying on ISH that goes like this "Not even close!" :lol
