Fedor Emelianenko returns to Russia, says Dan Henderson asked him not to retire

Fedor this is god, continue fighting please.

whatever he choses to do, i think we should all accept, he has achieved enough in his career to bow out and still be a champion in millions of fans' eyes

Id like to see Fedor go out with a "w"

@kill. unfortunately thats the problem, his wild swinging doesnt work anymore. Henderson was spot on when he said that fedors wild swinging had caught alot of guys before but he leaves himself way too open. He is another fighter that hasnt changed. Its just like watching the fall of wanderlei, he too is still attempting the wild swinging and he keeps getting himself knocked out. fedor keeps trying it and either gets caught himself or misses loads of the punches he throws.

In Fedor's defense, I can't really attribute his sloppy style to any of his 3 losses...



-- Against Werdum, he hurt him (or thought he did) and rushed in for the kill... can't really blame him for that.

-- Against Silva, he got squashed because of size-difference.

-- Against Henderson, his sloppy punches had Dan severely hurt, only for Dan to sneak in an uppercut while scrambling.

Wandy Silva's style has been exposed and now Fedor's. Fedor should continue to fight but work on his technique. He is good but is now getting figured out. Evolution!

hold on now, as much as I Iove and admire Fedor, I'd say it's exactly because of his recently adopted sloppy style that he's been losing. Against Werdum he jumped right back into the same triangle he'd just escaped. Againt Bigfoot he walked towards him, swinging wildly and leaving himself completely exposed to the takedown. And in his last fight against Hendo he was erratic and rash with his over aggressive attack and was lucky to survive the counter punch Hendo fed him. He also failed to keep top position when he had Hendo rocked and couldn't finish him. Fedor is an MMA legend but he's not half the fighter he was 4 or 5 years ago.

Вот настоящий воин. Не убегал как другие (к примеру раздутый супергерой Леснар). Его бои просто загляденье. Смотришь и удивляешься его смелости и упорства. Даже когда проигрывает Федор- он проигрывает достойно. В проигрыше ему трудно что предъявить. Действительно никто на свете не застрахован от подобного. Даже президенты погибают , хотя они по большому счету защищены на 100%.И никто на свете не имеет права сказать, что Федор трус. Великий человек и Великий воин.

GREATES MMA FIGHTER EVER LIVED

Who cares what Hendo told him? f#$%^&* that motherfu#$%^&*,he got lucky with that punch,that's it!

Lucky? He wrestled Fedor got his back and landed an uppercut on the ground. That is not lucky. I like Fedor but I predicted Henderson for this fight. I would recommend trying new training camps, maybe in the US? Learn some of what is being taught at ATT, Roufus sport, Jackson's Academy, Grudge, or AKA?

New daughter? It's over for Fedor's next opponent. Give him Fabricio and let him rejuvenate himself and avenge the loss that caused all this chaos.

And for all the haters out there go and fight 31 fights and come out victorious. Better still, throw in a few guys that are like a foot taller and outweigh you by 100 or so pounds.



After you do that, you can talk all the shit you want, but chances are you won't because you will be proud you won 31 fights without a single loss (aside from that stoppage).

well said!

I still want to see Fedor compete. Probably, he needs to take a time off and get his head cleared and go back to Sambo basics. That's where he had problems in all 3 fights. He is still physically fit, but his head needs some work. He rushes to fight without thinking what he is going to do. I bet there was a plan, but he forgets about this fight plan. Probably, he needs new coaches, new camp. In all 3 fights, he looked like he came from the streets without any experience and training.

I tend to agree with Coker. Although the bout was short, it was a great couple of minutes. Fedor came out throwing bombs, leaving Henderson no choice but to do the same. He sure didn't expect Fedor to come at him like he did, but we all know Hendo; he'll come back just as hard. He isn't one to run away from a fight, so once he sees those fists flying in his direction, he'll definitely shoot some missiles himself.

I watch a documentary about Fedor and from that I gathered that he is really into family. I'm not sure if you guys know a little background about Fedor but according to this documentary Fedor started fighting cause his family was poor and saw fighting as a way out for the whole family. Fedor never left his home town cause he feel at home there and also because of his family and friends. Now he is married and just had a baby girl.



Fedor is really big on family which is fantastic BUT not if your a professional MMArtist. I believe that an MMArtist you need 100% of your time dedicated to the sports and you NEED to travel around and train with the best trainer to just keep up with the evolution of the sport, unfortunately you will have to leave your family behind for long period of a time. This does not sit well with Fedor (I believe anyway) he has and will always be a Family first man. Don't get me wrong it's great that he is a family man but not so great if his profession is a MMArtist.



I think if Fedor retires no one will question it I think he has achieve every single thing to achieve in this sport a lot of people will say "yeah but what about the UFC belt" honestly I don't think he needs to win that to be considered a legend don't get me wrong I would love for him to comeback and tear the whole UFC up win both the light heavy weight and the Heavy weight titles BUT i also don't want him to comeback just because the fans want to see him fight and lose and take a beating.

Win or loss he holds himself like a true athlete. He is someone any person from any profession can look up to and aspire to be like.

Thanks for killing fedors fighting career M1-Garbage. i will always think highly of Fedor but you (M1-Garbage) are a complete bunch of idiots that failed.
