Prediction: correct Emelianenko   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

I've heard Fedor said that he won't be retiring after this fight, and that it was actually a mis-translation. Apparently he said this on either a Russian or Croatian (memory does not serve) news site.

Mino, that is correct Fedor will not be retiring after this fight with Rizzo.

All 3% of us. I'm a little confused though. I tried to check to see who has the huge upset award on the site and currently it says 0 people have it.

EDIT: Also I see like 1-5 people picked Rizzo by decision. Fedor will never lose by decision in Russia whether he really was winning or losing, imo.

There is no one that has gotten that... it's the "heavy" that some have achieved.

some people have heavy upset, but fighters are almost never +600 ... and when they are they usually don't win!

Actually thinking about it the only huge upset we've had (off the top of my head) is Sean McCorkle losing at WMMA 1 or whatever it is called and 100% of people picked him. haha

Emelianenko (imo) has never changed form... and I think that is part of his probem and why he is fighting guys like Rizzo now.

I just can't imagine how this fight makes it out of round 1. Someone is getting (T)Ko'ed.
