Here is Fedor Emelianenko at the 2008 Sambo World Championship in St. Petersburg, Russia which took place November 13-17. Fedor has long been regarded as the number one heavyweight MMA fighter in the world and some even regard him as the number one pound for pound fighter in the world. However, he had to settle with a bronze medal this year at the Sambo Championship as Blagoi Ivanov walked away with the gold. It is Fedor’s first loss since 2000.
