Quote :

Fedor's coach Vladimir Voronin:
"It was a great training camp, especially in Kislovodsk. Fedor successfully injured everyone. Broke somone's ribs (Later in the press conference, Maxim Grishin thanked Fedor for broken ribs), busted someone's face, so the work was good. In terms of technique, our base is the Universal martial art Sambo. There's many techniques and still much to learn, so it's all an ongoing learning process."

Fedor Emelianenko:

"There's nothing new about my training. I really enjoyed my camp up in the mountains, in Kislovodsk. My sparring partners were Maxim Grishin and Kiril Sidelnikov, our young guys. We trained really hard, and I hope we'll see the results in my fight.

"I'm training hard for this fight and fully concentrated on my goal. If I beat Silva, I'll study my next opponent, but if I fail – any talk about who's the biggest challenge will be simply irrelevant."

"There's no difference for me between fighting in ring or a cage. I just think that fighting inside the ring looks better from esthetical point of view. I don't know about other people, but that's my opinion."

"To tell you the truth, I don't think MMA should be an Olympic sport. In my opinion, it could be an Olympic sport only on the amateur level. In MMA you have Olympic Champions in Wrestling, Judo and many other sports, that's why I don't think that making MMA in the Olympics is necessary to push the sport forward. I'm not interested participating in the Olympics. I think that I'm already past this stage of my career."

haha, successfully injured everyone!

i tend to agree on the Olympics though, its not necessary and the schedules would be hectic.

Let us see how chunky he his at the weigh-ins before we jump on this band wagon...

Band wagon? lol, this is Fedor were talking about... Watch yo self Dana!!! Lol

If he is even a lil chunky, I will not jump on the bandwagon.

fedor has always been chunky, wtf are you guys on?

I've never actually seen him fight, but I've heard good things.

oh, i get it...

man, shogun landed a ton of ground and pound on machida...

It was that first overhand left counter to the eye that ruined him, perfectly timed and aimed punch to set up the beat down.

the one where he grabs his neck to hold his head in place looks like it was the worst one

I cant wait to see him vs Rashad!!!!!

Doesn't happen without the overhand though. It wasn't the fight ender, but it basically was.

Can't see it great in the gif, but wasn't that first shot a deflection that landed on the temple?

A little of both maybe since the hand is bigger than the eye, the invalidity of that punch is a myth. Either way, Shogun got exactly what he wanted from that punch.

Fedor takes ice-cold swim:
"On the Orthodox Epiphany's Eve, Fedor dives into the Oskol river to clean himself spiritually and gain strength for the whole year to come."
Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva coverage

Fedor will obviously be in great shape and possibly more ready then ever, I mean, he just lost for the first time realistically. But I'm still not going to fully believe what comes out of his camp. Also, Big Foot can win this fight, I'm def giving him a chance, try and impose his size and possibly dictate where the fight takes place. That said, smart money is obviously on Fedor, probably too quick standing for Silva and what Kyle couldn't finish Fedor will.

Not a person alive I would pick to beat Fedor this next fight.
