I fixed this guys. Was uploading directy from dropbox... silly me ;)
These are some awesome photos, and I love to see emotion from a usually emotionless Fedor.
That GnP Fedor put on, was one of the best this year. For a second i thought Rizzo died.
I'm a big fan of Fedor but I have to say I'm so glad Fedor won....I would have hated to see a repeat of the mark coleman incident where his two daughters climbed into the ring and cried uncontrollably. That was aweful to watch.
There is no way in this world that Rizzo could beat Fedor to this point....and but than again I lost you in your first sentence...you are a big fan, but you are so glad he won?? Huh??
..I am a fan of Fedor, however, I was worried that if he lost his fight his daughters would see him hurt. Many fighters won't take their young children to a fight in case they lose badly.
Fedor smashed Mark Coleman back in the day and mark colemans daughters were crying in the ring afterwards because he looked so badly beaten.

Мне не хотелось, чтобы Федор уходил. Но ему виднее.
