Fedor Emelianenko has been a busy man since he announced his return to MMA.

The ‘Last Emperor' has been invited to various camps across Russia, all of whom want to play a pivotal role in preparing the former Pride FC heavyweight champion for his anticipated return.

The Fight Nights (EFN) promotion arranged that Fedor conduct a small training camp in Fedor's hometown of Stary Oskol. The training took place at the infamous Alexander Nevsky fight club and featured fighters like Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov, UFC fighter Konstantin Erokhin and touted kickboxer turned MMA fighter Vladimir Mineev.

Check out the training footage above.

Although his opponent is yet to be confirmed, Fedor is scheduled to begin his pre-fight training camp over the coming days. He will be reunited with his longtime striking coach Alexander Michkov and will spend the next few months training in Moscow. Fedor is expected to bring in heavyweights from across Russia in preparation for his first fight.
