Multiple champion in mixed martial arts Fedor Emelianenko brilliantly completed sports career... One and a half minutes - and the enemy is knocked out. The tournament in St. Petersburg was watched by fans of this sport all over the world. Indeed, with the departure of Emelianenko, an entire era ends. The Russian athlete will be remembered not only for his beautiful victories, imperturbable, magnanimous and noble - he never stooped to scandals and provocations either in the ring or outside it.
The most outstanding athlete in history mixed martial arts Fyodor Emelianenko, nicknamed "The Last Emperor", hung his fighting gloves on a nail swiftly, effectively and beautifully. His last fight in the ring was watched by 12 thousand spectators Ice Palace in St. Petersburg. Posters "Fedor, we are with you!" and a fight that lasted only one and a half minutes. During this time, Emelianenko's rival, Brazilian Pedro Hizzo, missed several punches and collapsed without memory from the crown side "The Last Emperor".
At this point, television commentators unanimously concluded that this is not a point in a career, but an exclamation mark. Fedor prepared for such a final as if there was more than one fight ahead: training three times a day, daily runs of 15 kilometers and fighting training. After three consecutive failures, Emelianenko put in a lot of effort to surprise his opponents. This work resulted in three victories, including the last one, and an excellent sports uniforms... Fyodor's brother Alexander told about this two hours before the battle.
"Fedor is better at everything. He pulled up the striking technique of his legs very well, hits well and fights well, everyone knows this," says Alexander Emelianenko, brother of Fedor Emelianenko.
This is largely why each of the spectators of the stadium, if he had a microphone, like the presenter after the fight, would probably have shouted: Fedor, don't go! To this emotional request, the "emperor", who had not known defeat for more than ten years (the result for fights without rules is fantastic), only quietly whispered: how God willing! And just a minute before that, one of Emelianenko's most loyal fans, Russian President Vladimir Putin, entered the ring.
"I want to congratulate Fedor and say thanks to him from all of us, from fans of martial arts. Thanks to him, it was he who became popular in our country. Fedor, we congratulate you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts," Vladimir Putin said.
Seven-time Russian champion in combat sambo, nine-time world heavyweight champion in various versions of mixed martial arts federations, favorite fighter of the famous Mike Tyson. For 12 years as a professional, Emelianenko spent 40 fights. Won 35 times. He stumbled a little at the end of his career and still left undefeated.
"What influenced your decision in the first place? Fatigue? Injury?" - the journalist asks.
“Family first,” the athlete replied.
Emelianenko admitted that he had long promised his wife Marina to leave the fighting. Daughters are growing up, and I want to spend more time with them. Despite the high fees, Fedor continues to live in his native Belgorod. Modest. Contrary to the laws of the genre, he never insulted or provoked rivals. Calm. With his equanimity, even after defeats and injuries, he instilled confidence in loyal fans around the world, who, despite the words of Emelianenko - "You can't lure me in with fantastic offers", will wait for the "emperor" to return to the ring for a long time.
The "last emperor" fell. Chronicle of Fedor Emelianenko's defeats
On the eve of the new millennium, the whole world witnessed the ascent of the Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko to the heights of the world MMA.On the eve of the new millennium, the whole world witnessed the ascent to the top of the world MMA by the Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko. Compatriots will be proud of their mighty compatriot, the prime ministers with bated breath will watch his battles and shake a strong hand, looking into his eyes with hope. Let's say without hesitation, Fedor is the national idea of Russia, who stood in the ring for a decade undefeated. It seemed that even the walls of Carthage could not withstand such blows as Fyodor took. But he still did not survive ...
It is curious that the first defeat of Emelianenko Sr.was carried by the Japanese Tsuyoshi Kosaka back in December 2000. It was Fedor's fifth fight in the professional ring, and it is worth noting that the defeat was quite controversial, because the Russian was ready to continue the fight, however, the judge decided otherwise.
The fight took place in Japan, at the "Kingofkings2000 blockB" tournament. Then Kosaoka, at the very beginning of the fight, cuts Fedor's right eyebrow with a forbidden blow from the elbow. The referee stops the bout 17 seconds after its start, and by the decision of the doctors, the Russian fighter is removed from the bout, awarding him a loss. And the Japanese, according to the rules, should have been disqualified. It turns out there is no winner. But since the fighters met within the framework of the tournament, then one of them had to become the winner. Thus, the victory was awarded to Tsuyoshi.
So for the first time Emelianenko lost. Then it seemed that failure would make the fighter hold back his ardor, after all, the fight with Tsuyoshi was the fifth in a row for the season, but no ... In subsequent years, Fedor continues to conduct the same number of fights and conquer the hearts of millions at the same time.
Werdum's "Triangle". Beating from Bigfoot. Defeat from age Hendo.
Raised by his success to the heights of popular love, Fedor created the impression of an absolutely invincible fighter, practically a superman. 10 years without defeat - a unique record.
TimSylvia ,AntonioRodrigo Nogueira ,MirkoFilippovich and 25 more fighters fell from the onslaught of the Russian mixed martial arts master. It seemed that no one and nothing would stop Fyodor. And everything was fine until he met with FabrisiuWerdum in June 2010. The Brazilian was able to interrupt Emelianenko's unbeaten career in just 69 seconds. It happened in San Jose at the Strikeforce & M-1 Global show.
At the beginning of that fight, Fedor showed activity, sending his opponent to the floor with a series of precise hits to the head. But the Russian could not carry out the finishing off. Bending down to apply crushing blows, and thus the most to put an end to the confrontation, Emelianenko ended up in a "triangle", from which there was practically no chance to get out ... The outcome of the fight was defeat by painful.
So, for the first time in 10 years, the "Last Emperor" was defeated.
He who does not fall does not get up. I charged for the hit, so I made a mistake and Fabrice used it. We will think, we will analyze why this happened, - he said after the fight.
How could this happen?
In fact, there is an explanation. At that time, when the legs of the Brazilian began to tighten behind the neck of our fighter in an iron knot, Fedor had the only opportunity to break the triangle. But the "emperor" preferred the most difficult option - to try to switch to a painful one. And this mistake cost him the victory.
Emelianenko is an experienced fighter, but he miscalculated a little with his actions. He threw himself at the feet of the Brazilian, for which he paid. Nogueira, What happened next, we all remember very well.
The next few months, on the eve of the next Strikeforce & M-1 Global show, in which Antonio Silva will oppose Fedor, the Russian trains a lot, puts himself in order and says:
Nothing has changed in me. I drew conclusions as to why there was a mistake in the fight with Werdum, and I tried to eliminate it. I still continue to train a lot. Silva is a very good fighter. He is a worthy opponent and I would be budurad to fight him. My rival suits me.
Yes, do not say, but the enemy is really serious. In addition, he considers Emelianenko a role model.
The boy took place in New Jersey.
Fyodor begins to attack with sweeping blows. The first round is held with varying success. The fighters are not stingy with strikes. The Brazilian, who has a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, does not have the opportunity to successfully carry out a painful at the end of the five-minute period. And in the second round, Antonio immediately transfers the fight to the ground. The Russian lies on the floor all the time, taking powerful blows Bigfoot. The gong sounds and the fighters disperse in the corners. Both already know that Fedor is not destined to reach the third round. The judge stops the fight in connection with the monstrous dissection of Emelianenko's eyebrow. Thus, Silva won by technical knockout, who, with tears in his eyes, fell into the legs of his idol.
Again the question is - what is the reason? There are several of them. The first is the advantage of the Brazilian in weight - a difference of 15 kilograms. The second is age. At the time of the battle, Fedor was 34 years old, Antonio - 28 years old. The third reason is that the Russian focuses not on striking techniques, but on wrestling, trying to win at the expense of painful and strangulation.
Thank you for your love and support. From the very beginning, everything went wrong. I could not rebuild during the battle. Probably time for me to tie. Thank God I went long and good sports life, but apparently the Lord so pleases. I have to go, - said Emelianenko after the match. And the indignation and disappointment that gripped the audience in the hall, after the speech, showed that the love for Fedya had not cooled down. And for the sake of her, try hard to rehabilitate.
More than 4 months passed after the second successive defeat, but the wound in Fedorap's heart was still gaping. It was evident that the fighter was longing for victory.
Having learned about the upcoming battle, I, honestly speaking, was glad - we need to get ready again. Also, the Dutch coach is now helping me to "put my feet". We are working on cardinal changes in preparation, loads and technique. Henderson is a serious opponent. He is somewhat lighter than me - 97-98 kg. But I don’t think that if the opponent is lighter, then it’s easier to fight ... I, for example, usually act in the opposite situation. And with Henderson we are about the same height, - said the fighter before the fight.
The fight from the very beginning took place at a high pace. Double-edged exchanges of blows iklincha. A few minutes later, the American managed to break through one of the clinches and deliver several precise and crushing blows. After that, Fedor intercepts the initiative and "drives" Henderson to the poring. Having knocked him down, the Russian is eager to finish. But, through negligence, Fedya turns his back and receives several blows to the back of the head. This is a knockout ...
Again, what is the reason? There are several of them. The first is the stagnation in the training of the Russian. The second and the main one is that Fedor trained with 20-year-old guys, sambo wrestlers. To prepare for a fight with such fighters, the sparring partners must be of the appropriate level, not boys.
The fight was stopped early, I could still continue. I lost the position, allowing Henderson to use a purely wrestling technique - a hip grab, said the legend.
It's just a bad guy ... Fedor has a desire to continue performing, he will struggle, - said Vadim Finkelstein, manager of Emelianenko.
Finkelstein's words turned out to be prophetic. Fyodor did not lose heart and continued to fight. But, you must admit, survive the hardest psychological blow: it is quite difficult to give up in three matches in a row and force himself to continue his career. Besides, if you have not known defeats for 10 years. Many in his place would have hung gloves on a nail somewhere in the closet. Many, but only Fedor Emelianenko. Four months after the fight with Henderson, the world became convinced that the Russians had once again entered into a fighting rage. In his native land, Fedor confidently defeated the American Jeff Monson. Emelianen was so hungry for victory that a month after the Moscow match he flew to Japan, where he “laid down” Satoshiya Ishii, having carried out a successful series: right-left-right.
The latest fights show that the MMA legend did not try to "overcome" the competitors. Now the fighter is more like a drummer. Whether this is correct or not, it is too early to judge. But double victories inspire confidence in the better. Who knows, maybe the "Last Emperor" has a second wind. Perhaps the era of the renewed Emelianenko is beginning, which promises to present us with many surprises.
