We must work to neutralize his effectiveness on his feet. And I always try to keep my composure and think quickly in the ring. Good preparation leads to calmness. Mats, ring and training equipment. But it is the location that is the difference. We are high in the mountains and the high elevation is good for cardio and muscle endurance. We train in an area that is famous for its strong people.
It feels more like home here. I have good trainers that help me stay calm. I just know that I have a job to do and I just try and go out and do it professionally. Nature is always more tasty. I love to do exercises outside although it has been cold. But we still run outside and do certain exercises to get the blood flowing.
I am usually in pretty good shape. It is just a matter of getting into fighting shape. The training allows my body to find its natural weight for the fight. And I can't have any sweets. He has two daughters-Marina, who is nine years old and Vasilia, who is one. He likes to play with them, take them to the zoo, take them for rides and shopping, but he particularly likes to read books to them.
He has two younger brothers, Aleksander and Ivan, and an older sister, Marina. Both of his brothers have trained in MMA. His father, Vladimir, was a steel worker and his mother, Olga, was a teacher. Fedor attributes much of what he has accomplished to his mother as she always encouraged him to pursue martial arts. Do you see your family when you are training? I am always looking for a department store or toy store when I am traveling so I can bring something back to my kids. I am also always talking to them on the phone. Have they ever seen you fight or watched one of your fights on tape?
She has never seen me fight however. Dennis helps him train, comes out to all of his fights and is always in his corner. What is your relationship with Vladimir Putin? It is just that he had seen one of my fights on TV and took an interest. Vladimir Putin has always been very kind to me and I have always appreciated his interest in my career and the sport of MMA.
Vladimir Putin is a black belt in Judo and a master in Sambo.
I have promised him that I would always participate in Sambo if I was able to, so that I could be a role model for young people in Russia and continue the rich tradition of the sport. He usually just goes with the flow, depending on what his friends want to do-barbecuing, fishing, or whatever. On his own time, he goes to church. He also enjoys reading and drawing. Favorite Music When he was younger, Fedor was musically gifted, but his mother made him choose between the accordion and Judo. Fedor enjoys listening to anything from classical music to hip-hop.
Favorite Food He loves a good steak and lobster. What were you like when you were younger? My two focuses were studying and training. I fell in love with Judo at the age of I like staying home and being with my friends and family. I miss them when I am away. MJ , Jan 14, Awesome read, thanks for posting that.
It was cool to see how technologically advanced they have made Fedor. It almost seems like he can generate his own thoughts. GoodCat , Jan 14, Good read fore sure! Hearing him talk about promising Putin to always compete in sambo to be a role modle for younger people and preserve their national sport gives me a different look on him not wanting to sign with the ufc. DW should read this and maybe they could work out better terms for a contract. Firecrap , Jan 14, A very positive post. He he seems like a great guy.
I would really like to know more about his connection with the Russian Mob. He has made some intresting career moves as well. We will never know how good he really is because he won't fight the best in the sport. Ring87 , Jan 14, Sedulous , Jan 14, Thank god he picked judo instead of acordian Knighter , Jan 14, No Trolling at all. I just don't think the main post tells the whole story. The Pitbull is a good fighter. However, he is not the best. He is humble and a great Martial Artist.
Almost all aspects of Russian life has some connection to the Black market. I think it's holding him back. To be the best you have to beat the Best.

Fedor must represent sic combat sambo in Russia. I think that Fedor, right now, the word is he wants to fight in this Sambo event, but I won't let him fight in it if he's with us. I think he's going to wait until he fights in this thing in October, November, and we'll probably come to a deal with him at the end of this year or the beginning of next year What we'd want to do is, we'd want to know who is the best heavyweight in the world.

Neither Fedor nor his fellow Russians will put him above God. That is very wise of them. To my knowledge, Fedor Emelianenko has never claimed to be a great or unstoppable man. He is devoutly Russian Orthodox. He is aware that on any day he can lose a fight just as easily as the next man. I think the persona and presence which he brings to the sport is what catches the attention of the fans. We all connect with Fedor because he fights the fight and still points out his flaws and remains humble.
And, after that, the guy came and kissed my forehead. He's a wonderful guy, and everybody wants to see the best of all times in a good shape. He's all about being humble.
