Last week, Russian website LifeSport.ru (via MMAMania.com) quoted Fedor Emelianenko’s SAMBO coach Vladimir Voronov saying that Fedor Emelianenko was defeated by Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva because he was hypnotized by someone sitting in the crowd at the IZOD Center. However, in an interview to MixFight.ru, Voronov declared he never gave the controversial interview:

People seem to forget that except of being Fedor’s management, M-1 Global is a fighting promotion which organizes events all around the world. And

 Terrible day. Have to take a detour on the way to work, then get a ticket because I rush the other way. The work day is fine, but when I go to submit the MW power rankings the whole computer shuts down. I really don’t feel like listing descriptions again (especially because I was really happy with the first ones, and I just think I’ll miss some points now), but the WW list will be done in full. So without further ado here’s who I believe are the most talented MW fighters in the world today:

To get one step closer to the Light Heavyweight title picture, the UFC originally booked a very dangerous Thiago Silva to test Jackson at UFC 130. However, with Thiago possibly failing his drug test from UFC 125, the promotion had to find a replacement. There was a moment when it looked like Jackson would face his rival Rashad Evans in a rematch. However with Rashad suffering from injury and pulling out of his title match with Shogun, the UFC turned to Matt Hamill…..

Russian Heavyweight and MMA Legend Fedor ”The Last Emperor” Emelianenko earlier today cleared the air over his alleged retirement. Emelianenko confirmed that he will not be retiring from Mixed Martial Arts. Fedor and some of his coached weighed in on the situation.
