Rumor: Fedor Emelianenko gets his hand injured in training, could be sidelined for months
Posted on March 8, 2010, 04:06 AM by Anton GurevichAccording to the British website MMABay.co.uk, WAMMA Heavyweight Champion and arguably number one Pound-for-Pound fighter in the world Fedor Emelianenko, severely injured his hand in training.
Sources close to "The Last Emperor" (a very reliable sources, according to MMABay.co.uk) revealed at the Arnold Exhibition in Columbus that the injury is very serious and could keep the Strikeforce fighter out for a few months.
Fedor Emelianenko and M-1 Global are currently in an advanced stage of negotiations with Strikeforce over the fight against Fabricio Werdum on May 15th at St. Louis, Missouri. If the "injury rumors" will appear to be true, Scott Coker's promotion will have a very tough time lining up an event that could compete with UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun that will take place on May 8th.

Whatever, he's just scared of Werdum.
lol are you joking, Fedor isn't scared of anyone, he would destroy werdum worse than dos santos did
Good God people, it was a joke !!! You people take shit way too seriously and.......... Forget it, I'm going to rent a dirty movie. Maybe a little Rectal Rodeo or perhaps Interracial Facial !!! Tell you what, I'm down with the swirl, I'm going to rent "In and Out of Africa" !!!!!!

fedor is no top dog, he couldnt stop nogueira in 3 fights yet velasquez destroyed him in 2mins 30, lets face it theres no decent fighters in strikeforce 2 take on fedor, he'll be a legend when hes defeated frank mir, lesnar, velasquez and carwin ETC gabe gonzaga would probs beat fedor in my opinion!!!
r u serious werdum would get knocked out quicker then rodgers fedor is no joke i think overoid can beat him besides a few in the ufc can come back and win from any situration no one is scared of werdum...he sucks thats way the ufc didnt want him anymore
i think he can stil beat werdum with one hand
agreed! fatboy is just padding his record! its funny how he wants more money from shitforce even though hes the highest paid fighter in the promotion and gets the easiest fights around! wow some p4p best lol!

hahaha look how many weaks dat got!!!seriously guys fedor is a big boy, he can look after himself he doesnt need his legion of fans to do it hhaha
How many "stages" has there been in the negociations for the fedor-werdum fight. It took ages to get nowhere, no fights have been announced yet, and now fedor is out for even longer.
M-1 Global-ly sux balls for crack!
Fedor needs a new promotion.
this has nothing to do with his hand injury btw, it's just annoying to me that they keep prolonging and cancelling.
Get well soon Fedor
omg!! how can it be the organisations mistake???
fedor need a new promotion??? he is part owner of M1 !!!!^^
co-promotion is the answer!!!
Friss Meine Scheisse Kackvogel!
omg, have you bin watchin the hills? you talk like them.
Part owner yes, manager no.
I think he makes money off of M1 but as far as the amount of time spent on negotiations with every opponent he's ever had im amazed he hasn't grown a beard.
jesper du kleiner schwuler magersüchtiger gehirnloser arschficker!!!!!
the hills???? you live there????
lol ...you doesnt know what you are talking about!! go back to WWE!!!!!
HaHa :-)
GERMAN FIGHT!!! lol.
wow that sux if its true, hes always had problems with broken hands.. he shouldn't punch so hard ;D
tbh, you can make your hands stronger. Whenever a fighter breaks his hands, it is pretty much his/her fault for not conditioning it well enough.
No matter how hard you train your hands, when you are hitting thick-skulled gorillas with full force and with those small mma gloves it is certain that something will brake...
So are you trying to say a person can not brake a thick block of ice, brick, wood, steel, and etc...?
Just to let you know, you can do those things without braking the hand. It is something called conditioning the hand. Numerous marital artists have broken stuff that is thicker and harder than a damn skull.
@UndefeatedOfWest
Haha, i really hope u were jokin on that one
shit!!!!
hope the injury is not so bad!!!
Eh... Quite a coincidence considering the recently reported drama. Why does he need two hands to fight Werdum again? He'd still win, he's not fighting real competition. He's just padding his record.
This sucks & is a set back for Strikeforce but these things happen often in MMA. No use crying over it.
And the Ferdor scared of Werdum comment ranks among the weakest posted on this site.
please check the ranking sometimes bro who is fighting who. Fedor is the only HW who is fighting real competition im not saying they have no competition in UFC most of them didn't foght each other yet.I bet all Fedor heaters were saying Tim Sylvia can beat Fedor or Arlovski.Werdum beat Gonzaga 2 times and he is still top contendor in UFC
Hah... Okay buddy, the HW competition is in Strikeforce. Smart. Fedor is fighting bums, like Werdum who got stomped by Dos Santos and chased out of the UFC to find weaker opponents where he has a chance to win.
He was not nearly as good as he needed to be to compete in the UFC.
That sucks about Fedor! You can condition your hands but the repeated abuse they take in training and fighting is going to have some consequences.
I still dont see this as true comp. for Fedor. He is a great fighter but I am still waiting to see him fight somebody! He is fighting but not the top comp. out there... yes they are the top comp. in the organization... but not in mma.
He should fight JDS. Now that would be a kick ass fight, but the contracts in the UFC seem to be too much for him and his advisors so I guess ill just keep waiting! :-(
You don't really believe he's making more money in Strikeforce than he would be in the UFC with endorsements? You realize how much he would be paid just for the rights to put him in the UFC video game?
sounds legit Fedor has been out to hand injuries in the past, given how hard he hits im not surprised. i've actually allways thought that his hand injuries will end up taking him out of the sport, they don't sound like much when you read them as they occur but he has broken his hands multiple times and eventually doctors will just not ok his fights if he has a history of breaking a hand bone every other fight.
That would be just a lame ass excuse to get out while the getting is good. He is not that type of person anyways im sure!
guarantee its broken thumb again. Fedor said a while back that the advantage of the loop punches is, he hits with his thumb when he strikes.
Its the only part of the MMA glove that isnt covered by padding and does more damage to his opponents. He mentioned that he re-breaks his thumb almost every fight, thats a tough bastard lol
Yeah, its amazing how someone who looks like a sweat care bear, is though as nails!
fedor is a pussy. bottom line.. he fights nobodies. he beat 5 former ufc champs while the sport was developing. every half way decent opponent he went against he dec. arona should have got the w. And the ufc's machida is a way better fighter and beat 4 ufc champs with a true undefeated record. fedor is fighting werdum now. who cares.. fedor is part owner he knows wtf is going on with all the deals made. And your a ****ing moron if you think this is not true. so go ahead and put weak because you know nothing about fighting..
are you stupid, fedor's last three opponent where top 10 hw's, sylvia was 3 arloski 4 and roger 8. who has lesnar beaten, when he first fought mir he wasnt top 10 cause he was coming from bck to bck tko loses, herring wasnt even like top 20 and couture was 5. Out of Machida's 16 fights only 3 have been against good competitors (Shogun, evans n silva), and how does machida have a true undefeated record when shogun clearly beat him? ur just brain washed by the ufc, their is good competition outside the ufc dont be so narrow minded
Fedor a pussy? lol your a pussy
First off I agree with the comments about Lesnar... He is a f****** joke!
Back to Fedor... dude the names you listed are pretty weak too. He is great I will give him that but he is not fighting the best in MMA. As I said above, he is fighting the best available to him but IMO he should have thought about this all befor he said no to the UFC. Now he has all this controvercy around him questioning his ability against top contenders in MMA not these weak ass organizations he has been in since Pride.
I could care less about seeing him fight Lesnar... but I would like to see him fight JDS, Mir, Carwin and ulitmately Couture because that has always been a dream fight for me!
Look at the guys that are on these guys lists... the only reason they look that way are because of the UFC. That is where he needs to be.
Don't forget that he DOMINATED Nogueira when Nogueira was considered the best...
t. sylvia #3 HW? since when
and um Machida fought tito, sokoudjo, Bj Penn, and Rich Franklin (albeit the last were not in the UFC)...
Everyone can agree no matter who fedor fights regardless of how bad they are, fedor fans will rank them like they are the best behind fedor. Tim sylvia? Arlovski? You guys serious? Tim sylvia sucks at blind date let alone fighting. Your brainwashed by your man crush for fedor. Bret rogers is like 5-8 in world rankings......how?!? Wins over Arlovski, impressive....i dont think he even knows what BJJ even is....Back to my point, the nobodies fedor fights will always be contested and considered quality opponents by the nut huggers on this site
tito sucks, sokoudjo isnt that good, u can't count bj penn seeing that penn fought him at like 215 catch weight and machida couldnt even finish him and sylvia was number 3 because he was coming off the recent loss to nog, b4 that loss he was the ufc champ so when nog beat him nog became 2 and sylvia became 3
lolol ur trippin, ninja. nuff said
I just heard that this article originated at MMAbay and its complete BSh_it
And that the UFC ran with this rumor to hurt Strikeforce, hes currently training in Stary Oskol and nothing is wrong with him.
he would still fight reguradless of his injurys
come on Tapout, do you really believe that?
from a Russian MMA site
Fedor Emelianenko waiting to hear the official date and the name of his opponent in the near future
Published on March 8, 2010
At this time, Theodore is in Stary Oskol, where he continued training in standard mode. Negotiations between the M-1 Global and the Strikeforce show on the next joint approach to the final stage, and soon our champion can hear the time, place and name of the opponent, against whom will be his next fight.
I think the Theodore is a translation issue from the name Fedor....google at its best
i think you didn't watched Machida's last fight when Shogun was clearly ROBBED i think Shogun gona beat him again soon
He was robbed and I cant wait to see him beat his ass next time!
Watch the fight but turn off the commentary, you'll see it very differently. Shogun leg kicked and leg kicked but didnt do anything other than that till the last round, which it was too late. Shogun didnt go for the killing blow which when ur fighting the champion you have to win a decisive victory so u get that belt. Shogun didnt do that
We need to get better judges or fighters need to start finishing fights. Point, blank, and simple!
people need to stop talking about how turn off the commentary and u can see machida win, i saw that match witout commentary like 3 times, it was a closer match but shogun still did enough to get the decision
I watched it without commentary and could see MAchida winning.Mainly becuz when u fight a champion, you gotta win decisively and not leave it up to a 2-3 point span for the win. Shogun didnt do that. If you know anything about psych, listening to the commentors will persuade your look on the fight. for example, Machida and Shogun both came at each other, MAchida punches shogun in face, shogun leg kicks machida and i hear from Rogan "BEAUTIFUL LEG KICK BY SHOGUN" and i sit there thinking "how about that punch?"
i have watched it w. no commentary and sounds and Machida should of lost
i still dont see it. The only possible way i see it is if you only judge the fight on the way machidas face looks at the end of the fifth but that was only caused in the fifth, i guess we just gotta wait for the rematch to see
good im glad hes injured if fedor is such a badass why dont he fight anyway many fighters have fought with broken hands before why doesnt he he dont fight top fighters anyway
I'm sick of Fedor and his lack of interest to fight in the UFC
Its too bad really, This great fighter not fighting the calibre of guys who he should be, no offence to Arlovski or Rogers, i actually think the fedor fight was the best thing for Rogers and i hope he does well. But, it would be any MMA fans dream just to see him fight against Mir or even Cain velasquez, to bad UFC can co-promote with M1 or strikeforce.
MMM...... Cookies!
Is it just me or does he look like a red neck from the South visiting the Big Apple?
LOL! Yes, he does kinda look like some hick. I half expect this text with his pic to say "Look Ma, I's in New Yerk!"
theres a suprise, fedor hasnt fought any good fighter in ages and there is better fighters than him in the ufc. everyone can see that apart from all you fedor fans. just lever yourself off his dick before its too late. you are the reason fedor is fighting nobodys in strikeforce because all his fans are too busy sucking him off so he can only fit in a 2 week training camp for people like rogers. Going to the ufc would be too big a risk as he would be found out...
last 3 fights? hmmm let me see, rogers, arlovski and sylvia...arlovski and sylvia had been dropped by the ufc and rogers wasnt getting a sniff of anything until he beat arlovski which suddendly made him one of the greatest. you realy need a reality check. fedor needs to fighting people like lesnar, mir, carwin, valasquez, dos santos if he wants to be the best. the ufc has always been the big time. i wont rate him till he fights in there.....
I'm just sitting here reading all of this back and forth between everyone and wondering to myself... Doesn't Strikeforce have a contract with Fedor for 5 more fights? What is with the "re-negotiating"? Personally I believe it's another move by M1 to choke out Strikeforce for more cash. I ****ing hate Finklestein! Everyone likes to point out that Fedor owns part of M1 but how much does he really own of it? Enough to give him a real voice in decisions that are being made or just enough to pay for the hovel that he lives in in Russia?
where are all the ****ers who said A . Silva was bitching out when he had elbow surgery. you guys out there? or u busy gobbling fedor's nuts while he gets his hand fixed.
also... wtf is with the pic for the article??? haha, so random
Where's tony when you need him...
UFC has like 5 fights cancelled every event because injuries and illnesses. guys like anderson silva go get elbow surgery and vitor hurts his shoulder. nobody talks shit.
fedor injures his hand and the UFCtards are all up on his case. lol get a reality check fags
uhhh were u under a rock for the past year?? A LOT of people talked shit about Silva... stop riding strikeforce's nuts, yeah?
What do you mean "noone talks shit"? That's all clowns were ever doing when silva got injured, or regardless of who he fought. That's why Fedor fans are the most hated of any fans in MMA
i agree i realy ****ing despise alot of these fedor nut munchers.
I LIKE TURTLES THEY ARE GREAT
UFC is MMA PRISON or you can call it MMA ZOO totaly controled by Dana.UFC fighters can't give their opinion freely is all controled by Dana
Hah... Sad mindless nonsense. The UFC is where the best fighters fight. Jokeforce is where people go as a last resort.
I think Fedor haters never look at the Rankings that wuy they talk bullshit.Top HW figter in UFC Carwin no disrespect for him good guy no top10 figts yet nobody is complaining
People acknowledging that Fedor should be fighting real competition in a real organization aren't automatically "Fedor haters". It just means that they have at least half a brain.
if i could vote multiple times on this post i would actualy click sharp and funny. Fedor fans are rele sensitive, leave that shit for women,
Lets all work together to drive Fedor nuthuggers off the site so that now on only intelligent comments come forth. Yea..Fedor is the number one heavyweight, but sorry most of the top 10 is in UFC and brock seems to be #2 on anybodies list.
Also, don't talk about the machida fight and then turn around and say Fedor won against arona.
once again i wish people actually seen how fights were judged in rings.
takedowns gave very little points, submission attempts gave a lot. there was no ground and pound allowed so top position was not as threatening. fedor went for more submissions and had the better striking (where there was down rule like boxing). thats how fights were judged in rings.
just like evans and thiago silva fight. in japan, they might have given the fight to thiago because they dont go by a round by round basis but instead judge the entire fight and as thiago was closer to finishing evans, he would have been more favorable among the judges. two different continents, two different ways of seeing a fight.
And the machida fight looks completely different if you don't have the sound on. There's a reason kohsaka went immediately for the cut arona gave fedor.
