MMA Quick Quote: Fedor Emelianenko means MMA business
“… [Andrei Arlovski] is a very good fighter, used to be a world’s champion. So I’m preparing very seriously…. I clearly understood that I would not be able to fully prepare [for the World Combat Sambo championship . And the fact that I won the Bronze, did not bother me one bit. Everyone else got upset, but not me. I prepare for Mixed Martial Arts primarily and with all seriousness, so I treat Combat Sambo a bit lighter. It’s impossible to be in your optimal condition everywhere and to perform with maximum results all the time.”
– Current WAMMA heavyweight champion and Affliction headliner Fedor Emelianenko explains his recent — and very rare — loss at the 2008 World Sambo Championships to Bulgaria’s Blagoi Ivanov via M1MixFight.com. “The Last Emperor” — widely considered the worlds top mixed martial arts fighter and king of Combat Sambo — only trained for part-time to accommodate for his busy media schedule and movie commitments in Thailand. However, several critics have argued that it signals Emelianenko is unprepared for his upcoming showdown with Andrei Arlovski at “Day of Reckoning” on January 24. Much ado about nothing?
