The new Japanese promotion that will be holding an event on New Years Eve and will feature the return of Fedor Emelianenko is planning on holding a press conference on Thursday and the word on the street is that they’ll be officially announcing who Fedor will be fighting.
But, since the MMA media and fan base are so inpatient, we might already know who that opponent will be.
According to a report from MMAFighting, who claim to have spoken to sources close to the fight, Fedor will fight fighting Indian-Japanese heavyweight kickboxer Jaideep Singh in his return fight.
Yeah, exactly, who?
Singh is 28 years old and 40-10 (1 NC) in kickboxing, however when it comes to professional MMA bouts he only has one. One MMA fight and he’ll be facing one of the best of all time, OK.
His only MMA fight, and win, came against Alireza Tavak back in June of 2013.
Man I hate these fights because anything can happen In Mma , if he can do that to Kharitonov than he's a challenge doesn't matter how many Mma fights he has , Fedor is more of a striker now anyways until I see otherwise .
meh, no big deal. Dude's been gone a while and is no spring chicken. Good to see how he feels in-ring. Face some dude who's outside the top 10 but still reasonably ranked next, then move up from there. Ideally. I feel like many think he should've come straight outta retirement into a massive superfight. That seems unrealistic to me, after 3+ years.
I'm not really excited to see him back anyway. I feel like MMA has passed by his seemingly antiquated training methods and game-planning, etc. ages ago.
Yeah at this point it would sadly be a freak show. Couture has defied age multiple times but I don't think he can this time around. It would just be another nice fight for Fedor.
Fedor was winning that fight until Henderson came back with a flash KO. That's more a credit to Hendo's chin than any kind of knock on Fedor, Hendo was on queer street and it's amazing that he didn't face plant ten seconds before he won the fight.
Dude, Couture wanted to fight Fedor and was willing to leave the UFC to do so. Also I wouldn't call Affliction the best organization in the world. It had a decent heavyweight division but that was about it for them.
I heard that another partner for the Rizen Fighting Federation was KSW. Somehow I get the feeling that Pudz will get a crack at the Last Emperor. Probably one of the most ludicrous freak show fights since Fedor and Choi.
Reminds me of the Pride Absolute Tournament that Cro Cop ended up winning. Fedor ended up dropping out because of an injury and Wanderlei met Cro Cop in the semifinals. Though the big question is Wanderlei still "under contract" with the UFC considering they stopped him from attending a Bellator event?
last I heard, he was still pissed because he couldn't get out of his contract. Yeah he's now embroiled in a lawsuit with the UFC but that doesn't give him a free pass out.
Fedor has never lost in stand up Hendo is lucky Fedor wanted wrestle after dropping him like a sack of potatoes , Dan got owned by Mousasi that never gets old lol
