Fedor Beats Three Opponents in Under 2 Minutes

Today was the first day of the Russian Combat Sambo Championship and here are the results:

As predicted, Fedor Emelianenko easily won all of his three fights. None of his opponents in this Russian championship forfeited as it has happened before in world and European championships, to the credit of our fighters.

In his first fight, Fedor quickly attacked, after a combination of strikes he took his opponent down and submitted him. The fight was 35 seconds long. His second fight was even shorter - Fedor broke his opponent's nose on the 10th second.

The final fight against Stanislav Shushko took a little bit longer. Stanislav tried to keep Fedor at a distance using his height advantage, but Fedor closed the distance with a combination, went for a throw and a holddown. Then the fighters ended up in standing position again and the situation happened again - a combination of strikes from the champion, a throw, but this time Fedor finished his attack with a submission and won at 1 minute and 1 seconds.

Fedor proving he is still #1.

And this is the shit that's keeping him out of the UFC? 2 minutes a year of beating up on guys that aren't in his league? Can't he just coach sambo? What else does he have to prove?

Dear Fedor:

Retire from sambo and get some real competition in MMA.

Thanks,

The entire fucking world.
