Fedor Emelianenko is about to do something he hasn't done in nearly seven years.
"The Last Emperor," who slammed the brakes on a three-fight losing streak with a unanimous decision victory over Jeff Monson last month in Moscow, Russia, will compete for the fourth time this calendar year by taking on Olympic Judo gold medalist Satoshi Ishii on DREAM's upcoming New Year's Eve fight card on Dec. 31, 2011, at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
M-1 officials today confirmed the long-rumored booking, which we first reported back on Nov. 20.
"M-1 Global in cooperation with Dream is very pleased to announce the bout which will bring the world's attention to Japan on December 31. Fedor has been in great shape, and is ready for what we think will be a hard and competitive fight."
Can Fedor finish his 2011 fight campaign at an even 2-2? Or will Ishii finish the Russian's storied career where it began, in "The Land of the Rising Sun?"
Here is the current FieLDS 'Genki Desu Ka!!' fight card and line-up:
DREAM Bantamweight Grand Prix:
135 lbs.: Bibiano Fernandes vs. Rodolfo Marques

If Fedor can't even fight inside his own division
I don’t want him to fight anymore.
What about Guram Guganishvili (or whatever his name is)? M-1 afraid to put their own HWs against Fedor?
Fedor gonna get slaughtered, he's a scrub...hasn't mattered since '06...he's just wack as shit
sigs are gay
you know you can just put this as your default pic, right?
Be better than that blurry ass thing you have up there now.

This pic is my new sig, I lost a sig bet with myself...the bet was if Jones won I'd use this pic for a week, if Machida won I'd use the Andy choking out Hendo pic as my sig for a week
When you lose a bet you must honor it right? Besides, my profile pic will never be changed..that’s a chick I know lia19…she’s a bad little slut, I do music and graphics for her
Here’s a video I made for her site using one of my songs yo:
yea son

So is this like, some split personality thing???

Fedor had something to gain by beating the crap out of Monson, who is no MMA scrub.
Fedor has nothing to gain by beating Ishii, nothing!
IF YOU THINK REEM SHOULD BE RATED ANY HIGHER THAN AROUND THE #5 HEAVYWEIGHT (AND THAT IS STRETCHING IT) THEN YOU ARE A FLIPPIN MORON, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Monson WAS good...
when Tim Sylvia mattered.
But he’s now a scrub.

He is not top 10 but he is also not Chris Turscherscheerchssherchers (sp?)

I hope Fedor fucking loses for trying to get an easy win and paycheck off a sccrub.
This guy and his myth is ridiculous. Im glad i didn’t watch to much Pride, seems those that did got brainwashed and tricked into liking this jack wagon.
I have issued my statement. If Chael wins against Silva, im officially the coolest guy on Mania and have the coolest dvd collection. If he loses.....then I shall leave Mania for good....
I loved watching Fedor fight
But to call him relevant at this point is ridiculous. At least we can say that M-1’s co-promotion antics came back to bite them eventually. Had they not been such hardasses at the negotiating table they might not be hunting cans for Fedor to fight right now.
He hasn't been relevent for a long time now. He's been exposed now, but since he's not being billed as the best anymore he can fight whoever he wants.
by Cyclonejoker on Dec 12, 2011 4:22 PM EST up reply actions
+1
He ain’t tryin to be the best anymore, he’s just fightin to help continue building up M-1 Global. No offense to Fedor, but I hope M-1 goes out of business after he retires.

Im glad i didn’t watch to much Pride, seems those that did got brainwashed and tricked into liking this jack wagon.
Pride was the most entertaining MMA organization in History. They consistently put on excellent fights and had the best fighters in the world before the fall. U are missing out
Pro Sig record
9-5
He didn't have to watch an overrated Fedor and Crocop at least
I watched Pride for years and loved it, but never once did I consider Pride’s competition at HW anything better than terrible even though it was better than the UFC at the time.
Fedor and CC are the most overrated guys of all time in MMA honestly. Fedor crushed cans for several years and ran from an opportunity to fight the best guys in the UFC. Then he went to SF and couldn’t even take those guys out over there. It would have been a disaster had Fedor signed that contract with the UFC, but at least his supporters would have known to shut up by now and stopped acting like his P4P myth was legit. Fedor on his best day would have gotten smashed by Cain, Brock, JDS, and Carwin. He won for several years longer than he should have because he fought guys like AA, Hong Man Choi, and Timmy and fought only once a year.
Fedor is such a joke.
Pure haterism

PRIDE never die is a popular saying, but I don't get it, it's not even a real sentence.
Why not: “PRIDE will never die”, “PRIDE never dies”, or “Japanese MMA never lost it’s PRIDE”.?

Pride never dies, its just gets runned into the ground by some Yakuza type characters.
Just don’t tell them I said that.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

i can do hammer curls with the 65 pound dumbells with only moderate usage of the back…..

Stop doing my hammer curls??
Why? So your biceps can grow larger than mine, which means you could kick my ass….not a chance sister.

Fedor should drop M1
Sign with UFC and fight Cain or Mir
Win or Lose, Still a Big Fan of Vitor Belfort
Honestly, I doubt they'd sign him for the $$ he'd want even if M-1 wasn't in the picture.
And Dana would probably do his best to spite him after all these years of tryin to get him and not being able to ge thim. You gotta remember… Fedor and his management denied the UFC a Brock vs Fedor match. That woulda been huge…

those assholes need to go. Fedor needs to drop them and apologize to the UFC for the bullshit M-1 tried to pull on them and maybe he'll get a contract for good money.
And M-1 needs to suck Fedor’s balls for all they did to his career and suck them good, those frauds raped his career and insulted every one to like Fedor.

It's true, he did stand by and let it happen
But the Fink was in full control, I don’t think Fedor was anything but invested, I doubt he made any financial decisions.

Machida drinks pee pee
2 week sig and pic bet with Kalejohncox Condit over Diaz
Jones gets his props
Ppl just don’t like him, they like rootin against him. I couldn’t believe the weigh-in, dude got boo’d worse than Bisping & Evans. It’s not that people don’t think he’s a good fighter, they just wanna see him lose.

And Fedor's not overrate, the guy had an epic run, he went 31-1 with the one loss being bogus and should've been a no contest
That’s like a boxing record, that’s a crazy MMA record, dude goes 32 fights without a real loss and he’s overrated? Come on. He earned his place in MMA history, he’s on his retirement tour now.

against cans , guys like this clown and monson

At the time those were not cans, they were top ranked HW fighters
Beating Big Nog twice on the ground while he was in his prime is no small feat. Not to mention Fedor gave up height, weight and reach in almost every fight. Even if you are crushing cans (which I’m not saying there weren’t a few in there, but most of them were some tough solid fighters) going 32 fights without a legit loss is pretty damn impressive period..

We all expected Fedor’s career to end up like this when he left Strikeforce, but I was still hoping he’d at least try to go out with some dignity. Looks like the can crushing tour is in full effect.
It's all about M-1 now, who can they drag down the toilet drain this time? Lets find out!

MAN
As a Fedor fan, I was willing to deal with the Monson fight. Monson is a decent fighter and Fedor needed to get some confidence back. This fight is total HORSE CRAP though. What a waste.
"He's got a great package... and an unusual one!" Joe Rogan (of Lyoto Machida)
u can look at any fighters record
& see some so called “cans”
-Roan Carniero, Tetsuji Kato, Alexander Otsuka, Alex Steibling, JOrge Rivera, Travis lutter, Patrick Cote, Waldir Dos Anjos, Thales Laites, Tony Fricklund, James Irvin, Curtis Stout, Jose Barreto…NOw that is a list of a cpl handfuls of Anderson Silvas victories, & IMO he is the greatest fighter in the world.
Fedor Critics r so asinine. At one time he was the greatest HW in the world from 03-07 but his time has past. In 5 years anderson will have lost 2-3 times & retired, its called inevitability
OnJan 14th Chad Mendes will handily defeat Jose aldo, GUARANTEED
Chris Weidman IS a future UFC MW champion
can this fight be fixed?
it seems to me that fedor losing again to some scrub would cost M1 too much… anything goes in japan
