Fedor Emelianenko

So last night at Strikeforce Fedor Emelianenko lost for the frist time since his December 22, 2000 loss because of a cut with an illegal elbow. Fabricio Werdum submitted him with a triangle armbar at 1:06 of the Frist round. Fedor said he tapped because of the choke not the armbar. Now I am a fan of Fedor so it is a little sad that he lost but it had to happen eventually. I am happy its a guy like Werdum just because he knows what he just did and he wont rub it in Fedor's face. I would like to see the new heavy weight pound for pound fighters now. As of right now Fedor has one more fight on his contract with strikeforce and he has stated that he will finish that fight. As for after that I am guessing he will be retired. I would love to see a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko vs Fabricio Werdum. I just hope people don't think "well he lost that was fun." just because he lost does not make him a bad fighter. His fight record didn't make him good.

His record is 32-2-1 with notable wins over:
