The referee of the match, Dan Miragliota, stopped the fight 74 seconds after it began, awarding the victory to Mitrione.

Multiple mixed martial arts champion Fedor Emelianenko brilliantly completed sports career. A minute and a half - and the enemy is knocked out. The tournament in St. Petersburg was followed by fans of this sport all over the world. After all, with the departure of Emelianenko, an entire era ends. The Russian athlete will be remembered not only for his beautiful victories, he is imperturbable, generous and noble - he never stooped to scandals and provocations either in the ring or outside it.

Most outstanding athlete In the history of mixed martial arts, Fedor Emelianenko, nicknamed “The Last Emperor,” hung up his fighting gloves quickly, effectively and beautifully. 12 thousand spectators watched his last battle in the ring Ice Palace in St. Petersburg. Posters "Fedor, we are with you!" and a fight that lasted only a minute and a half. During this time, Emelianenko’s opponent, Brazilian Pedro Hizzo, missed several punches and collapsed unconscious from a signature side kick.” The Last Emperor".

At this moment, television commentators unanimously concluded that this was not a point in a career, but an exclamation point. Fedor prepared for such a final as if there was more than one fight ahead: training three times a day, daily runs of 15 kilometers and combat training. After three failures in a row, Emelianenko made a lot of effort to surprise his opponents. The result of this work was three victories, including the last one, and excellent sports form. What Fedor’s brother, Alexander, told about two hours before the fight.

“Fedor is better in everything. He has improved his kicking technique very well, he hits well and fights well, everyone knows this,” says Fedor Emelianenko’s brother Alexander Emelianenko.

This is largely why each of the stadium spectators, if he had a microphone, like the presenter after the fight, would probably shout: Fedor, don’t leave! In response to this emotional request, the “emperor,” who had not known defeat for more than ten years (the result for fights without rules is fantastic), only quietly whispered: as God willing! And literally a minute before this, one of Emelianenko’s most devoted fans, Russian President Vladimir Putin, entered the ring.

“I want to congratulate Fedor and say thank you to him on behalf of all of us, from martial arts fans. Thanks to him, it was him who made this art form popular in our country. Fedor, we congratulate and thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” said Vladimir Putin.

Seven-time Russian champion combat sambo, nine-time world heavyweight champion according to various versions of mixed martial arts federations, favorite fighter of the famous Mike Tyson. Over 12 years as a professional, Emelianenko fought 40 fights. Won 35 times. He stumbled a little at the end of his career and still left undefeated.

"What influenced your decision in the first place? Fatigue? Injuries?" - asks the journalist.

“Family comes first,” the athlete answered.

Emelianenko admitted that he had long promised his wife Marina to quit fighting. My daughters are growing up, and I want to spend more time with them.

Fighting technique. Fedor Emelianenko is the most prominent representative Russian school combat sambo, the man who conquered the world of MMA thanks to this type of combat. But Fedor Emelianenko’s judo skills cannot be denied. At the beginning of his career, Fedor’s strong striking fighting technique was more noticeable. But the more fights a Russian fighter fought in MMA, the more pronounced the fighter’s wrestling technique became. Numerous victories by choking and painful techniques are evidence of this. An important aspect of Fedor Emelianenko’s fighting technique is his courage in the ring, which has helped him many times Russian fighter. Emelianenko's striking technique made itself felt in fights with contact fighters such as Andrei Arlovski (one of the most spectacular knockouts in MMA history) and Pedro Rizzo. In general, Emelianenko’s main qualities must be considered great striking power and the ability to overcome difficulties in the ring.

Career development. Fedor Emelianenko's career started with great victories in the combat sambo championships and his debut in MMA in 2000, when Fedor began participating in tournaments of the RINGS organization. 12 fights, 11 victories and 1 defeat - this is the start of Emelianenko’s career in MMA. Then, the fateful signing of a contract with the best MMA organization for 2002, PRIDE, took place, within the framework of which the Russian fighter became a true legend of mixed martial arts. After several starting victories, Fedor Emelianenko won the right to championship fight against his avid opponent Antonio Nogueira, who was defeated by him twice in his career. Within the framework of the Japanese MMA organization, the Russian fighter became invincible and defeated the strongest fighters of that time.

The collapse of Pride was a turning point in the career of Fedor Emelianenko. After unsuccessful negotiations with the growing UFC, Emelianenko became an M-1 fighter, where he owned an 8.5% stake in the company. The fights within M-1 were not outstanding, and Emelianenko began to have fewer fights per year than he did under the auspices of PRIDE, and so the career of the great Russian warrior began to come to an end. An attempt to return to the elite by signing a contract with Strikeforce ended in complete failure - three defeats from Werdum, Silva and Henderson. Such an unsuccessful series put an end to Fedor’s ambitions.

Subsequently, there were four victories that were not won over the strongest opponents, and Emelianenko began working as an expert on TV and is actively promoting his non-standard training process, which consists of original exercises.

Bellator MMA Heavyweight World Grand Prix

The "last emperor" has fallen. Chronicle of Fedor Emelianenko's defeats

On the eve of the new millennium, the whole world witnessed the rise to the top of the world MMA of the Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko.

On the eve of the new millennium, the whole world witnessed the rise to the top of the world MMA of the Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko. Countrymen will be proud of their mighty compatriot, and prime ministers will watch his battles with bated breath and shake a strong hand, looking into his eyes with hope. Let’s say without hesitation, Fedor is the national idea of ​​Russia, who stood defeated in the ring for a whole decade. It seemed that even the walls of Carthage could not withstand such blows as Fedor took for so long. But he still couldn’t stand it...

It is curious that the first defeat of Emelianenko Sr. was inflicted by the Japanese Tsuyoshi Kosaka back in December 2000. This was Fedor’s fifth fight in the professional ring. And it is worth noting that the defeat is quite controversial, because the Russian was ready to continue the fight, however, the judge decided otherwise.

The fight took place in Japan, at the “Kingofkings2000 blockB” tournament. Then, at the very beginning of the fight, Kosaoka cuts Fedor’s right eyebrow with a prohibited blow from the elbow. The referee stops the fight 17 seconds after it began. And by the decision of the doctors, the Russian fighter is removed from the fight, awarding him defeat. And the Japanese, according to the rules, should have been disqualified. It turns out there is no winner. But since the fighters met as part of the tournament, one of them had to become the winner. Then the victory was awarded to Tsuyoshi.

So for the first time Emelianenko lost. Then it seemed that failure would force the fighter to hold back his ardor, after all, the fight with Tsuyoshi was the fifth in a row of the season, but no... In subsequent years, Fedor continues to hold the same number of fights and at the same time win the hearts of millions.

"Triangle" Werdum. Beating by Bigfoot. Defeat from age-old Hendo.

Raised by success to the heights of popular love, Fedor created the impression of an absolutely invincible fighter, practically a superman. 10 years without defeat is a unique record.

TimSylvia ,AntonioRodrigo Nogueira ,MirkoFilippovich and another 25 fighters fell from the onslaught of the Russian mixed martial arts master. It seemed that no one and nothing could stop Fedor. And everything was fine until he met FabricioWerdum in June 2010. The Brazilian was able to interrupt Emelianenko’s unbeaten career in just 69 seconds. This happened in San Jose at the Strikeforce & M-1 Global show.

At the beginning of that fight, Fedor showed activity, sending his opponent to the floor with a series of accurate hits to the head. But the Russian was unable to carry out the finishing move. Bending down to strike crushing blows, and thereby putting an end to the confrontation, Emelianenko ended up in a “triangle”, from which there was practically no chance of getting out... The outcome of the fight was a painful defeat.

So, for the first time in 10 years, the “Last Emperor” was defeated.

He who doesn't fall doesn't get up. I was charging for a shot, so I made a mistake and Fabricio took advantage of it. “We will think, we will analyze why this happened,” he said after the fight.

How could this happen?

In fact, there is an explanation. At a time when the Brazilian’s legs began to tighten behind our fighter’s neck into an iron knot, Fedor had the only opportunity to break the triangle. But the “emperor” preferred the most difficult option - to try to switch to a painful one. And this mistake cost him his victory.

Emelyanenenko is an experienced fighter, but he miscalculated his actions a little. He threw himself at the Brazilian, for which he paid. Nogueira, We all remember very well what happened next.

Over the next few months, in anticipation of the next Strikeforce & M-1 Global show, where Fedor will face Antonio Silva, the Russian trains a lot, gets himself in order and says:

Nothing has changed in me. I drew conclusions about why the mistake occurred in the fight with Werdum, and I tried to eliminate it. I still continue to train a lot. Silva is a very good fighter. He is a worthy opponent and I will be happy to fight him. I'm happy with my opponent.

Yes, whatever you say, the enemy is really serious. In addition, he considers Emelianenko a role model.

The fight took place in New Jersey.

Fedor begins to attack with sweeping blows. The first round passes with varying degrees of success. The fighters do not skimp on blows. The Brazilian, who has a black belt in jiu-jitsu, does not give the opportunity to successfully carry out a painful hold at the end of five minutes. And in the second round, Antonio immediately takes the fight to the ground. The Russian lies on the floor all the time, taking powerful blows from “Bigfoot”. The gong sounds and the fighters disperse to the corners. Both already know that Fedor is not destined to reach the third round. The referee stops the fight due to a monstrous cut on Emelianenko's eyebrow. Thus, Silva won by technical knockout, and with tears in his eyes he fell at the feet of his idol.

Again the question is - what is the reason? There are several of them. The first is the Brazilian’s advantage in weight – a difference of 15 kilograms. The second is age. At the time of the fight, Fedor was 34 years old, Antonio was 28 years old. The third reason is that the Russian does not focus on striking techniques, but on wrestling, trying to win through painful locks and suffocations.

Thanks for the love and support. Everything went wrong from the very beginning. I couldn’t reorganize during the battle. It's probably time for me to call it quits. Thank God I went through a long and good sports life, but apparently the Lord wants it that way. It’s time for me to leave,” Emelianenko said after the fight. And the indignation and disappointment that gripped the audience in the hall after the speech showed that the love for Fedya had not cooled. And for her sake we must try to rehabilitate ourselves.

More than 4 months passed after the second defeat in a row, but the wound in Fedora’s heart still gaped. It was clear that the fighter was pining for victory.

Having learned about the upcoming fight, I, frankly speaking, was glad - I need to get ready again. Also, a Dutch coach is now helping me “get my feet on the ground.” There are no fundamental changes in training, we are working on loads and techniques. Henderson is a serious opponent. He is somewhat lighter than me - 97-98 kg. But I don’t think that if the opponent is lighter, it means it’s easier to fight... For example, as a rule, I perform in the opposite situation. “And Henderson and I are about the same height,” the fighter said before the fight.

The fight took place at a high pace from the very beginning. Double-edged exchanges of blows and clinches. A few minutes later, the American managed to break through one of the clinches and deliver several accurate and crushing blows. After this, Fedor seizes the initiative and “drives” Henderson into the ring. Having knocked him down, the Russian rushes to finish him off. But, through negligence, Fedya turns his back and receives several blows to the back of the head. This is a knockout...

Again, what is the reason? There are several of them. The first is stagnation in the Russian’s training. The second and main thing is that Fedor trained with 20-year-old guys, sambo wrestlers. To prepare for a fight with such fighters, sparring partners must be of the appropriate level, and not boys.

The fight was stopped early, I could have continued. “I lost the position, allowing Henderson to use a purely wrestling technique - a hip grab,” said the legend.

It’s just bad... Fedor has a desire to continue performing, he will fight,” said Emelianenko’s manager Vadim Finkelshtein.

Finkelstein’s words turned out to be prophetic. Fedor did not lose heart and continued to fight. But, you see, it is quite difficult to survive a severe psychological blow: losing three fights in a row and forcing yourself to continue your career. Who cares if you haven’t known defeat for 10 years. Many in his place would have long ago hung up their gloves on a nail somewhere in a closet. Many, but not Fedor Emelianenko. The world became convinced that the Russian had again entered into a fighting rage 4 months after the fight with Henderson. On his native soil, Fedor confidently defeated the American Jeff Monson. Emelyanenko was so hungry for victory that a month after the Moscow fight he flew to Japan, where he “killed” Satoshi and Ishii, carrying out a successful series: right-left-right.

Recent fights show that the MMA legend did not try to “overcome” his competitors. Now the fighter is more like a striker. Whether this is correct or not is too early to judge. But two victories inspire confidence in better things. Who knows, maybe The Last Emperor will get a second wind. Perhaps the era of a renewed Emelianenko is beginning, which promises to bring us many surprises.
