Fedor Emelianenko did some thing this previous weekend for the initial time in yearshe lost. But not in MMA, in Overcome Sambo. We briefly described this yesterday when Fightlinker posted the original report, and now it appears information are starting up to surface area. Apparently, Fedor faced Bulgarias Blagoi Ivanov, a gentleman he undoubtedly defeated the moment this 12 months, and received schooled as MMA Mania explained it in their report. Fedor Emelianenko, extensively deemed the worlds leading mixed martial arts fighter and king of Combat Sambo, missing to Bulgarias Blagoi Ivanov this past weekend by a rating of eight-5 in the semifinals of the 2008 Globe Combat Sambo Championships in St. Petersburg, Russia. Emelianenko and Ivanov very first achieved back again in February of 2008 at Russias Presidents Cup exactly where Emelianenko outpointed the Bulgarian for his ninth straight triumph in Beat Sambo levels of competition. Ivanov evidently put to use the practical knowledge to formulate a successful gameplan for their second experience. Emelianenko was dominated from the outset and was in threat of shedding eight-one till the Russian scored a knockdown in the remaining moment of competitiveness to include 4 points to his somme. Most likely, Fedor wasnt prepared for the competition hes dominated for 7 decades. Ill go ahead and give Fedor the reward of the doubt on that one particular, but he has a significant battle coming up on January 24 against Andrei Arlovski. If a absence of preparing led to his loss, ideally this serves as a wake-up call to remind him what got him here. If there really is no great explanation, then heck, perhaps somebody desires to fly more than to Bulgaria and sign this Blagoi Ivanov to a deal..
