Fedor Emelianenko's next fight expected this summer in Monaco or Russia

Former Strikeforce heavyweight attraction and longtime PRIDE FC champion Fedor Emelianenko is ready to get back into action this summer, kicking off a 2012 fight campaign that could see him compete "two or three times" according to Evgeni Kogan, director of operations for M-1 Global.
USA Today has more:
"There are currently no concrete conversations about Bobby being the next opponent for Fedor," Kogan wrote, adding that Emelianenko probably will fight two or three times this year.
Possible locations for the summer fight include Monaco and Russia, according to Kogan.
Kogan dropped the iron curtain on rumors his "Last Emperor" would be facing off against former pro wrestler and part-time cage fighter Bobby Lashley, also a Strikeforce castaway.
Any other free agents floating around the International circuit come to mind?
Emelianenko snapped a three-fight skid with a unanimous decision win over Jeff Monson last November, before making it two in a row with a first round knockout finish of judo expert Satoshi Ishii in the DREAM: "Genki Desu Ka Omisoka" year-end MMA extravaganza last month in Japan.
Could we be looking at the start of another 27-fight winning streak?

I don't think Todd would want that. He should fight a couple low level guys and get some wins so he can get back into Zuffa's good grace.
He is a marketable guy with his physique and having one of the fastest UFC knockouts on his resume. I am sure we will see him back with Zuffa.

Agreed
But then again, a win against Fedor would immediately make him desirable to Zuffa.

A win against Fedor outside the UFC means nothing
3 Zuffa fighters have beaten him by stoppage. He is still an overpriced commodity to the UFC.

Who cares who he fights? All of these guys they're suggesting are cans!
Com’mon, if he is trying to build back his credibility try fighting guys with a credible record and/or actually can give him a fight!
These fights are a waste of time and I don’t know who really cares about any of these fights.

maybe if barnett is not gonna resign with zuffa then we will finally get to see barnett vs fedor … i wonder if randy is still under contract with zuffa although that fight has lost alot of its luster ..
Randy is retired. He will never fight again. He just made the Expandables 2 as well, he will be all Hollywood from here on.

well i just wonder if they both got offerd a million dollars each .. seeing how neither one of them has any more big pay days left .. and i doubt fedor is getting a million from dream .. and i doubt the gate sales are getting him a million bucks wherever he is fighting .. i mean if the ufc put that main event on a card fedor vs randy .. russia vs america… it would pobably do close to a million buys and the gate would bring in a million and a half atleast..
You might be right but I think the interest for the fight is gone more than 1 million buys worth
It would sell more than the average UFC ppv imo (3/4 hundred k buys?) but I don’t see it doing over 700,000 because it’d probably be held under M1 … so I dunno. Maybe i’m wrong but I think we’d need to reverse time OR see it as part of a solid card for that kind of numbers.
The "Expandables"? Is that the sequel where they all get huge beer guts and sit around smoking cigars?
..."I really hate the expert opinion. If you were a fucking expert, you'd be doing it."

hahaha yes, that will lead to making them all expendable again, and then they get in shape and make Expendables 3 where they are jacked and action-ready again

If he wins his next few he could face Cormier or Barnett
That’d be sick.

I think tkotom means facing them outside Zuffa
Since the HW div in SF won’t last long…
SF HW won't last lang, but Cormier and Barnett will surely come over to the UFC regardless. I mean Chad Griggs and Lavar Johnson just came over...

I agree about Cormier
But I don’t know about them signing Barnett. One the one hand Dana always talks about wanting to have the best guys in the UFC, but on the other hand Dana has a pretty big ego and it might be a problem for Barnett lol
this was taken after their beef that spilled on to radio show interviews and all:

But this guy is habitual, and that would be more egg on the face of MMA if they weren’t proactive with him.

I agree. But I am one of the people who thinks people should get tested randomly ALL THE TIME.
I think no UFC fighter should go even one month, weather they have a fight scheduled or not without getting tested.
There are however people her eon the site that seem to think that there shouldn’t be testing at all, a view that I strongly disagree with.

Consistency is key

I think Barnett could take most top HW's in the UFC
He usually has trouble with guys like JDS and Reem but he’d have a great shot against guys like Mir, Cain and Shane.
There is no beef in my mind, hell Dana would sign Daley if the division needed him.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
I doubt Cormier would fight outside of Zuffa.
Since Dana has a problem with Josh, Josh might opt to fight elsewhere in the meantime. Fedor would be a terrific opponent in my mind.

Tito brings more viewers and more money to the UFC than Barnett could ever hope to.

Sure, just keep fighting Monson’s, Lashley’s and Ishii’s and you will
That's what I thought too
His named will be changed to the “Campbells Kid” if that happens.

Yeah but his last win streak had guys like
Nog, Cro Cop, Randleman (prime), Coleman (prime), Arlovski, Timmeh and yes i’m going to say Rogers because he lasted longer than Lesnar did against Reem.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
i think rogers landed more on overeem (1 strike) than lesnar did

Overeem didn’t cut himself in the Lesnar fight.

It's not hilarious, because it was a lie.
M-1 already squashed that rumour.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
yes i know he fought cro crop.. and coleman .. and big nog… but i think it says alot he never once fought in the ufc .. alsmot like he knew he would lose .
Do you realize how ridiculous your comment is?
Do you know who was in the UFC when Fedor was at the top and/or towards the end of PrideFC? In no particular order..
1) Timmeh – subbed in 30 seconds.
2) Arlovski – KO’d in 2.5 minutes (on a big win streak and left the UFC on wins btw).
3) Randy – This fight nearly happened and would have been awesome
4) Mir – If Nog can put Mir out on the canvas and spaghetti leg him with rudimentary punches… I’d have taken Fedor in that.
5) Herring – Beat the life out of him
6) Brock… seriously..

So 3 actual fights and 3 imaginary fights, one with MMAmath, correct?
How is this:
Henderson – knocked out by a lightheavyweight who got choked out by the UFC middleweight champion.
Bigfoot – beaten to a bloody pulp and had rudimentary, at best, attempts to escape the mount by a guy who easily got outstruck by a BJJ black belt who got demolished by the current UFC champ.
Werdum – jumped into the guard of an ADCC champion like a first year fighter and got choked out by a guy who got demolished by the current UFC champ.
Anybody can be a fanboy or hater wehn it comes to Fedor…
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
There is no MMAmath there
Just pointing out how Fedor’s style matches up well with Mir. I didn’t say
“YES FEDOR WOULD SMASH HIM INDEFINITELY” .. i said “I’d have taken Fedor”
Yeah just pick out the only 3 losses he has which came on the down side of his career. We’re talking about when he was at the top of his game and #1..
Get off it.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
and theres a reason why other guys from pride came to the ufc … rampage,wandy,hendo,cro cop,silva,big nog,lil nog .. all of those guys wanted to fight the best … fedor was the only one saying well to me the best heavy weight fighers are in affliction/strikeforce… and found every reason why not to sign with the ufc .. if they good get a deal done with james toney , bj penn , randy couture, some of the most difficult to deal with guys in the sport .. it was on fedor .

why do i need to proof read .. unless you are a handicapped person im pretty sure you could understand what i am saying .. andi didnt call you a dumb ass i said i am no dumbass who uses wikipedia looks at a fighters record and says oh my god hes the best ever cause he beat marl coleman .. and how am i hating by saying he should of fought in the ufc but instead chose affliction and strikeforce .. its not like im the first person who said it ..

I can definitely understand what you're saying.
But yes you implied that I was a dumbass. If you’re going to question someone else’s intelligence at least learn to spell.

I couldn’t give 2 of my ass hairs whether you can spell or not mate, frankly i’m not that bothered by internet lingo. But observe the quote above.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
He fought in those places because it suited M-1
The competition there was just as good if not better than the UFC’s shallow division back then.
How hard is that to understand.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
people act like cain & jds were killers three years ago
they were barely starting ffs! hindsight is 20/20, anyone?
pride never die.
Yeah that's what bothers me.
Some people man.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
dos santos and cain were both coming into their own in 09 .. fedor could of fought them in 10 .. after he fought randy, mir,brock,carwin … is all i am saying for fs sake .. but yeah its great he fought bret rdogers instead .

Be your own man and make your own fucking decisions

Tell that to every single fighter with a manager
And that’s all of them..
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
You make it sound like he hasn't fought anybody.
It’s Fedor FFS.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
but if the bests fighters he has beaten are cro crop,big nog,coleman .. and correct me if im wrong but once those guys came over to the ufc who did they get beat by
cro cop – gonzaga,dos santos,mir
coleman – shogun,couture
big nog- mir twice
just saying you dont have to agree with it im just stating facts ..
by Nightmare83 on Jan 26, 2012 11:47 AM EST up reply actions
These are facts.
But.
When they came to the UFC they were WAY past their fighting Prime.
Cro Cop was riddled with injuries.
Coleman was fathering great great grand children.
Nog was old as well as had staph the first time he fought Mir. It showed in his good performance in his second fight with Mir up until he got wrecked.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
+1
Not the same guys at all
"Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class."
- Choi, Hong Hi, Founder of Taekwon-Do
wow so thery only in their prime when they get beat by fedor .. but if anyone else beats them it means they were done ? so when big nog beat randy and brendan someone should of told him he was done …
by Nightmare83 on Jan 26, 2012 12:03 PM EST up reply actions
Nog beat Randy and Brendan out of his physical prime. Yes.
The last time he fought Fedor was in 2004 and he last lost just a little bit ago. That’s like 7 years.
It’s safe to say that yes when Fedor beat Nog they were both in their absolute Prime. When Nog lost half a decade later in the UFC he wasn’t.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
You think Nog has been in his prime in the UFC
He struggled with Heath Herring and nearly got knocked out (a guy he’d beaten handily already and had proven that he was a better fighter than).
Honestly the guy just wasn’t the same fighter imo.
So I guess Heath Herring getting better
is out of the question. You fucking Pride fan boys are ridiculous
The Pride is smarter than me and always will be. I cant believe i picked a crack head with no jiujitsu against an awesome blackbelt like Jim Miller. Instead of trying to pick MMA fights, I’ll just keep letting Melvin snort coke out my ass crack

They were both just shadows of their former selves.

by Nightmare83 on Jan 26, 2012 12:00 PM EST up reply actions
I agree with you here.
That fight was a perfect example of a well rounded fighter demonstrating how the game has passed his one dimensional opponent by.
However U308 was talking about how Gracie came in all old and battered.
That magic sub might have come..
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
yes i understand that when he was in pride .. but i am saying that once pride was done he should of went to the ufc if he really cared about his legacy .. a war with cain or mir or randy .. even if it ended in a lose looks better then getting kod by hendo and getting his ass kicked by big foot ..

ok fair enough so fador joined sf when the divison was WEAK .. and when it got better i.e. they went out and got barnett,werdum, and cormier came from bellator .. once those guys joined what happened to fedor?? thas right he got tapped by werdum , kod by hendo .. and dominated by big foot … AM I WRONG ? he joined the divison when he thought all they had was rodgers and arloski thinking hey i can go and get paid to beat guys who are maybe in top 15 in my divison .. im just saying i can tell you are a big fedor fan .. but just cause im saying the truth doesnt make me stupid or a “hater” .. just not blind ..

i see no shame in losing to a roider with the help of herb dean
and size made all the difference for big foot. Regardless, fedor was already on his feet to start the three whilst big foot was about to die from exhaustion.
it happens, fedor lost, whatever.
and just so you know, look for any interview with fedor. Look for his reply when someone asks him about legacy (EVEN BEFORE LOSING), he says he doesn’t care for that
pride never die.
I think it's getting to the point where people can see that judges CAN influence fights
If a fighter isn’t given a chance to recover, get’s blasted in the back of the head … and gets up straight away afterwards after not being obviously out it’s not the best stoppage and I don’t give a shit.

fedor isn't calling anyone out
his managment gets the “best” fights they can get without being in zuffa. M-1 & Zuffa will never meet eye to eye and thus M-1 is left to look elsewhere. If all the best talent is under contract in zuffa, you get monson
also, monson took cormier the distance not 6 months ago. The same DC people already talk about winning SF’s HW GP

Weren’t those fighters really forced into the UFC out of necessity for their careers? Pride folded due to poor management and dodgy dealings rather than lack of quality in the fighters.
And I am honestly not a fan of Pride. I hate MMA in a ring.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
you're missing out
no wall n’ stall
pride never die.
I’ve watched a fair bit of Pride and enjoyed some of the fights, but when they go to the ground it is just… so inactive a lot of the time and there is no wall to walk up against to get the action happening again.
I do love knees and kicks to the head on the ground though. It’s pretty brutal but adds another dimension.

A whole cabinet full of titles.
Undefeated for 10 years. Over 12 top 10 wins. Ranked #1 Consensus HW for over 7 years.
Pretty sure he was the best in the world longer than anyone had and will be for a long time.
When he had multiple titles Anderson was getting subbed by Chonan, Reem was getting put to sleep in every second fight, guys like Page and Wand were scared to fight him and JDS and Cain weren’t beer legal.

Yeah there are some interviews
where the commentator asks him if he’d like to fight Fedor and he blatantly says he’d never do it.
Page also says live on air that he’d not do it either.

Your comment is really stupid.

My comment is 100% truth, spun against your obviously biased post in favor of Fedor.
the fact that you can’t comprehend what :
Anybody can be a fanboy or hater wehn it comes to Fedor…
at the end of my post shows how truly biased, mostly stupid, and completely blinded you are when discussing Fedor.
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
You're just hating.
Your comment had no relevance to anything. Just a load of drivel.
I might have base camp set up on his nuts but i see facts. Your comment was just weird.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
Unlike your conjecture filled post, mine was 100% truth. Please point out any non-truths
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
Of course it did
It reinforced the fact that Fedor has lost to guys who were not very successful in their UFC careers, yet found a way to beat the “greatest of all time”.
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
Hendo and Werdum had pretty good UFC careers man.
Bigfoot fight is meh. It will always have that 80lbs differential discrepancy.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
I am not
but I hate fanboys who still deem him God when he obviously has let the sport pass him by.
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
i can understand that
i can’t, on the other hand, understand when people disregard his legacy just because the past year he lost a few. That to me is stupid. Should i say shogun sucks because he got beat by, of all people, hendo? that would be stupid (specially considering hendo is on roids) should i give up on bj penn because he loses more than he wins at ww? again, that would be dumb.
people can mock fedor’s fights from last year but to disregard his status as the goat is pretty fucking dumb
pride never die.
That was never in question as far as I saw, and I would never argue he was the greatest HW MMA fighter ever.
But to supply posts full of conjecture, invites me to reply, with 100% truth, in a way to offset the blind fanboyism of certain posters.
Fedor is the greatest HW ever. Fedor let the sport pass him by. I don’t care if it was through faulty management or not, it happened. Becasue of that, he deserves posts like mine because they are 100% truth.

Sport hasn't passed him by.
He has all the skills in the world. Age, wear and tear coupled with bad gameplans will cause you to lose.
It’s not that hard to grasp.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
It has
He is only 34 years old and almost half of his fights were squash matches.
Fedor is failed potential, which is a scary thought.
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson
You're saying that the game has advanced passed his ability.
Which is a load of crap.
He has just had a bad run.. bad gameplans and lack of physicality. Give him time.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
HAHAHAHAHAHA
He barely has the ability to decision Monson and beat Japanese Judo Cans.
Fedor is done. He will never fight a legitimate top heavyweight for the remainder of his career. M-1 will see to that.

Thank you
Someone can see the facts through the Mir-hate.
I don’t know why people hate a guy who calls it like he sees it and then goes in there and does it.
Five top favorite fighters:
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Thiago Silva
3. Michael Bisping
4. Chan Sung Jun
5. Frank Mir
6. You don't have the balls to post your fav fighters

*ridiculous
And no i don’t sound ridiculous. I’m not hating on Mir.
Just pointing out what happened in the fight. If you’re in denial then go and watch it. I don’t care about the outcome because that’s not my contention. I’m talking about Fedor, not how Mir destroyed Nog.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
@tkotom .. when he was in strikeforce he should of been in the ufc .. when he was fighting with allfiction he should of been ufc … facing guys like dos santos,mir,carwin,couture…

Yeah but why sign over when you can co promote
That’s M-1’s doing. I mean when he was at Affliction the only 2 guys that made any sense were Randy and Brock.
I’d have loved to have seen them.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
Fedor owns M-1 and they have made him millions of dollars.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
and fucking eh!
why isnt he fighting in the M1 shows against their HW? because they would wreck his face!
I think it's more that he would wreck their face
and they don’t want to destroy their own promotions top guys.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
theres a reason why timmah and aa werent in the ufc when fedor fought them .. and theres a reason why he never fought barnett … he got exposed agaisnt bret rodgers .. and put in his place after hendo and big foot …
by Nightmare83 on Jan 26, 2012 11:11 AM EST up reply actions
Put in his place? Put the cocaine away.
LOL exposed? umm..
Fedor won the first round and then knocked him out in the second.
Ok.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
and theres a reason why he never fought barnett
Because Barnett got popped for Steroids days before the fight and caused Affliction’s demise.

You mean Barnett could have fought him.
Why would Fedor have to fight people to prove himself when he’s the champ. They should be fighting him and not the other way around.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
that's too bad
was looking forward to him calling it a career and keep his legacy but looks like m-1 really needs the money

I still do
Why on earth would I give something away fro free to a garbage company so they can turn it in for profit?
I probably make $1,000 year from scrap metal. I could pay for all of my UFC PPV’s from it if I wanted to. Who doesn’t like that idea?

Bobby Lashley????
The Pride is smarter than me and always will be. I cant believe i picked a crack head with no jiujitsu against an awesome blackbelt like Jim Miller. Instead of trying to pick MMA fights, I’ll just keep letting Melvin snort coke out my ass crack
Summer?
He needs 6-7 months between fights?
Fedor’s career is basically complete.

HEY!!!! STOP IT!!!
I won’t take anymore of this Fedor bashing.
Fedor is now fighting for the love of the game and to make some bank for his family.
Even if he’s not fighting the best or in the UFC (where he could still be competitive) he is still exciting to watch.
It’s obvious that Fedor is past his prime… BUT, he still deserves respect for what he accomplished.
Any real fans of “MMA” and not “UFC” would still be interested in any Fedor fight.
He is the HW GOAT… hands down.
Bring on Lashley… I will watch.
"He beat me fair & square. no, I’m sorry, he beat me fairly squarely" – GSP
What about the Pudz?
Bobby Lashley no interest. But seriously, Barnett is the only person I want Fedor to fight. Other than that, retirement?
