Washed up. End of career. Retirement bound. There was never a shortage of naysaying when it came to Fedor Emelianenko’s career after he suffered three back-to-back losses, but now the buzz has changed. After going down the line with Jeff Monson and Satoshi Ishii, Fedor got back to winning like the Fedor of old, from the days of Pride FC in Japan. With a fierce few punches, the Emperor needed just over a minute to land a fist to the face of Pedro Rizzo that dropped him groggy to the canvas, as Fedor and the ref raced to see who’d get to him first.
