"I still have some gaps in my techniques, in my skills, and that’s why my trainers press me hard to work hard and improve. In spite of the fact that they try to work me hard and make my game perfect, I still, in some places, I look a little bit clumsy."
"I am the way that I am, but I always remember that the harder a person gets, the more it hurts to fall down. That’s why I think about all the results (that come from) what I do in a calm way. Also, I try to treat all people the same way. We’re all human beings, with two arms, two legs and all of us are equal in front of God."
--Fedor Emelianenko, giving his thoughts on his performance after watching the fight against Brett Rogers.

Why does he keep reminding us that he's a human??

the bear was very scary…the whole scene where they tore the robots up in the circus was freaky too…come to think of it this movie is very frightening.

That movie was much more suited for him than Speilberg
It’s a shame he passed before he could see his vision completed

I have my thoughts on the quality of the heavyweight division. But I don’t see how anyone could help but like this guy. I’m a fan.
He comes across great in interviews, but I can’t overlook the fact that he chooses to align himself with guys like Vadim and Jerry Millen.
Maybe the possible explanation is that Vadim and Jerry are actually good people?

Fedor the manbot is awesome...
its his annoyingly rabid fans and management that make the “Fedor package” unpalatable at times.
Almost as annoying as the rabid anti-Fedorites…

This is why people love him, with all the star athletes who constantly call themselves the greatest and act out with their massive egos, here’s a guy who is really humble. The guy will always be the best in my book

Because he's not in the UFC
and for some people, unfortunately, if one isn’t in the UFC then one must be attacked and hated.
Which is sad because Fedor truly seems like one of the nicest, most humble people out there – fighter or otherwise.

It’s clearly because he is ducking Brock! Just like last time he didn’t sign, because he was ducking Sylvia and Couture!
And after his contract is up he wont sign because he is ducking whatever fighter the UFC is promoting next!

when they bring up religion in an interview that is a sign he is going to retire soon
in my very humble opinion.

I know
Man, it’s so true.
Must every pro Zuffa scout try to marginalize Fedor’s accomplishments.
A real shame, I say.
Lo and behold, he keeps winning though.
Orgs across the globe all want fedor on their roster.
Guys that don’t understand that are silly.
I personally like Fedor, I mean honestly, he’s never been in a boring fight.
Can’t everybody just get along?

M-1’s Joost Raimond also said that 6 million Russians tuned in to watch Fedor fight and claimed the numbers were good in other countries as well. I don’t know what that means for their bottom line, but that’s another revenue stream they wouldn’t have if Fedor signed with the UFC.

Wooo! Even more money that M-1 gets from Fedor fights.

Fixed it for ya.
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
Not really
Fedor is a part owner of M-1, and fights as a part of their organization. So weo was more accurate than you, regardless of how it the revenue was divided.

Fedor is a fedor hater
how dare Fedor say Fedor isn’t perfect, let alone human.
You want to know why people hate Fedor?
“We’re all human beings, with two arms, two legs and all of us are equal in front of God.”
Because Fedor hates amputees.

i'm curious how many time's fedor's nose has been broken?
he has a bent nose that i have notice for a long time.
by wolfmanshowlforever on Nov 12, 2009 1:20 PM EST up reply actions
It has never been broken.

Yes you are. According to Fedor’s recent video interview on Sherdog, he never broke it, neither in a fight, nor in training.

it has been broken at some point. nobody is born with an identation on their nose like
he has. maybe he broke it it one of his sambo tournaments.

Yeah, I wonder what Kyle Maynard would have to say about this.
