The unthinkable has happened in mixed martial arts: Fedor Emelianenko has lost three in a row.
Fedor, once widely recognized as the best fighter MMA had ever seen, was beaten by Dan Henderson at Saturday night’s Strikeforce event, with Henderson coming from behind in dramatic fashion: Henderson appeared to be in trouble on the ground, and then an instant later he pulled free and hit Fedor right in the chin from behind. Fedor went limp and fell face-first to the canvas, and referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight.
The whole fight was 4 minutes, 12 seconds of wild action.
