Report: Fedor Emelianenko Is Running for Office in Russia, Could Retire After His Strikeforce Contract Ends

What is he trying to do be like Manny Pac?

I didn't see anything in there from Fedor saying he will retire if he wins. Until then this is all rumor bullshit.

It is about time these rumours started haunting Fedor. They have been following Money around through pseudo-retirement after pseudo-retirement for years.

Gee I thought Fedor would have looked forward to a bout against Antoni Hardonk or Stefan Struve. What would be funny is if they got cut, signed with SF and had to fight Fedor.

Kimbo is good for numbers. Guess he's doing more for the sport than Fedor huh? Troll

I got your troll. Kimbo is good for numbers and whether you like him or not, people want to watch him. Now that may seem germane to someone like you, but the more people that watch the sport, improves the sport over all, in terms of payouts to fighters and more events. So yeah he technically is doing more for the sport.

Fedor did similar numbers on CBS to Kimbo, and I heard numerous media outlets praising that fight and performance and event over Kimbo since Fedor is actually an elite fighter in a ranked fight. The local ESPN show here did a piece on that.


Fedor is better for the sport.

The highest rated MMA event was headlined by Kimbo and all the TUF numbers where he was on were the highest ever up until that time. Fedor 's 2 PPVs didn't even equal WEC's as far as drawing power. But as a die hard fan, there is no question Fedor is the better fighter and anybody who says otherwise is insane. I am merely pointing out that Kimbo draws fans to the sport and because of that, it increases the revenue, payouts, the number of people who want to participate as fighters and the number of shows that are available for me to watch. Overall, he does indeed improve the sport. That is just logic. I am not Fedor bashing in this aspect.

Fedor did Kimbo's numbers on CBS dumbdick.

Well, if Fedor does retire and become a politician over in russia...I bet we would have Wolfy, still firmly grasping on his nuts...providing us with his foreign policy that we wouldnt give a shit about.

Nooo, not at all. Not a very good dig. I appreciate you trying to at least play the game, but you got to make the dig fit the profile. I am not religious as everyone knows and Fedor is very religious, and you know all of that. I am also anti-Government. So saying I'd nuthug Fedor in this situation isn't the best dig. Anyway, Fedor would just be a corrupt politician in a corrupt system, like all fighter-legislators world over. I would assume he'd be a nationalist though, which is something I'd support. Overall though, once he retires, I could give a shit less what he does.

Look at how I returned fire on farmer in that trash thread, who is a God fearin Bible belt Republican "get r done" type at his core. See how I made the dig fit his profile?

For future reference, wolf is a concpiracy theorist, anti-Zionist, atheist who likes heavy metal. Try to work your disses into that from now on.

I understand you're trying to play off me being a Fedor hugger, but I am hardly irrational about it so it doesn't fit in context.

Yo Wolf, I aint down wit dah big words mayne...you tink you could tone it down fo' my dumb cracka gangsta wannabe ass brah?

That is by far the dumbest shit I've ever read. Royce never drew big numbers. I imagine Kimbo is more important than him too.

Quote :

"He was basically nominated as one of the 58 candidates in the Belgorod Region, to be a candidate for the ruling party, for the Russian ruling party essentially. There's no substance [to the retirement rumors]. As far as I know, after he won a seat in the Russian Parliament or Senate, and it just kind of exploded from there. His career continues as it has been continuing for the last however many years. So there's no retirement plan coming up."

Fedor as the Russian Minister of Defense. I pity the world.
