Now Satoshi Ishii really won't stand a chance on New Year's Eve.
After rumblings that Fedor Emelianenko's iconic sweater got really old and has been 'retired' or 'lost' somewhere in Russia, the "Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory" as it's called after gaining notoriety on the internet, was finally spotted.
After completing his training camp in Holland, 'The Last Emperor' landed in Russia wearing his trademark stripped sweater. The events were also captured on a Russian news clip, which you can view on it's entirety after the jump.
As for the initial talk of the sweater being retired, here's the original article from February where Fedor mentioned it:
Sadly, any illustrious career must inevitably come to an end. Yes, after frequent use and repeated washings, there comes a time in everyone's life when one must confront the difficult decision of sending his or her favorite shirt into retirement.
...
"I cannot understand actually why this sweater became that famous and there is no famous sweater actually because that's my wear, that's my manner," Fedor said through a translator. "I take the thing and I wear it until it becomes really very old. And I know this sweater became really very old."
Fedor says he doesn't know where it currently is but thinks it could be somewhere in his home in Stary Oskol, Russia.

Fedor is such a liar.
He told Ariel Helwani he would give that sweater to him. Fedor will dread the day he comes back to the US to fight because he will have to answer to Ariel for his transgressions.
He doesn't work for SB Nation so it is safe to say that a prissy Helwani should have no effect on him.

Why? This is a fun thread.
Why do you feel the need to hijack it?
"Life isn't Fucking fair! Deal with it." Dad.
Its gonna be ugly
But then again, Ariel himself promised Alistair an Ipad; not once, but twice.

Jon Jones crushed that Ipad before it got to Alistair.
Jon Jones:
“I worked three times a day for three years to get this [Ipad], and now this guy Overeem has one just like it. Are you serious?”
Eloquent.
Hey Jon! Jon! Jon Jones! Goddammit... Jon Jones!
well..
Now I've switched signature to this one.

Look at how tiny and feminine Ariel's hand is in that picture.
It looks like there’s a malnourished British woman just out of frame holding the mic for him

I rescind my doubts. Satoshi Ishii is dead.
You cannot argue with the sweater. End of story.

That’s pretty damn final. I don’t even know why Ishii trained.

Ark of the Covenant, Splinter of the Holy Cross, St. Fedor of Emelianenko’s Garment of Fistic Brimstone and Fire and the Ka’aba; that’s the order of Holy Gadgets. Ishii has about a tears’ chance in Hell.

The sweater is to Fedor as Ezekiel 25:17 is to Jules

Holy shit.
The HW’s should all be scared after seeing this.

I don't know who he is facing or when
But whoever it is, is fucked badly.
Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.
First sentence of the article:
bq.Now Satoshi Ishii really won’t stand a chance on New Year’s Eve.

Fedor has his precious, all other heavyweights is fucksesed.

I hope he puts it on ebay someday just to see how much it would go for.

SUCK IT FEDOR HATERS!!!
What do you hve to say for yourselves now, huh? The sweater is back! Without the sweater, Fedor was like Samson after getting his hair cut – powerless. Now – he can destroy worlds. You might as well let Werdum, Bigfoot, and Hendo join Ishii in the ring to fight Fedor at the same time because it ain’t gonna matter. WonderTwin Powers ACTIVATE!!!
it's gonna be a short night for ishii-san...

I hate to burst everyone's bubble
I follow Fedor on Facebook. I’m pretty sure he had it back prior to the Bigfoot fight.
