#3 versus Mark Hunt (Pride: Shockwave 2006, December 31, 2006)
Fedor Emelianenko's final defence of the Pride Heavyweight Championship was one of his finest ever performances.
Although the company was close to closing its doors, the Russian demonstrated that the promotion could still deliver world class action.
Mark Hunt was a heavy underdog going into this bout, understandably but he was a large fighter with heavy punching power and had the game to hurt the Champion.
For a period of time within their title bout, he did.
Hunt attempted to submit Emelianenko twice with attempted keylocks but the Russian was able to escape. Hunt, also escaped an Emelianenko armbar as the fight ebbed and flowed.
Finally, the Champion was able to secure a Kimura for the victory after a hugely entertaining encounter.
Emelianenko, due to the closure of Pride, never fought in the promotion again but secured his legacy with one final performance to savor.
