I think its true that Fedor hasnt really helped the sport. Yeah hes racked up a huge win streak and hes fought some credible fighters. But I believe as time continues in the sport you have to evolve with it and when Fedor tried to evolve with it by fighting newer fighters he got his butt whooped. And seeing how Humble and Quite fedor is in interviews I think they should let him go.

Yeah I do understand though why coker would feel it ok to put Fedor in as a replacement if someone goes down during the Tournement. A doctor Stoppage isnt a great way to lose a fight.

I think Fedor can still be a competitive fighter to be honest. Won't be easy but if he wants to fight then I hope he goes to war with people. He was great for the sport.

Yes but at the same time, he has the right to retire when he wants to. I wish the best for him regardless of what he does.

Found this on mmabay.co.uk - seems the Russians have really lost their minds - granted mmabay got popular by spreading more rumors than facts, they've turned a bit of a cheak in the last year and most of the stuff they post is true or confirmed shortly after. What a buch of ****!

http://www.mmabay.co.uk/2011/02/16/fedor-emelianenko%e2%80%99s-coach-claims-forbidden-psychological-technology-is-to-blame-for-recent-loss-to-silva/

Ok, stop laughing… it’s true. Fedor Emelianenko’s coach, Vladimir Voronov believes forbidden psychological technology was used against the Russian fighter when he squared off with Antonio “Big Foot” Silva this past Saturday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Speaking via Russian website, LifeSports.ru, Voronov said:

“We believe that forbidden psychological technology was used… It seems to us that not everything was right, and that certain technologies were used. Not ones that could be seen by the naked eye but psychological technologies that worked on both fighters at a distance.”

“That is why during the fight Fedor was just not like himself. It seemed very strange behaviour from Fedor. He stepped into the ring and did everything exactly the opposite of what we practiced before the fight. We were all shocked! Fedor had never previously done such a thing. Now nearly a week passes, everything settles, and we understand why all this happened.”
