After suffering his first loss in nearly a decade to the highly touted ADCC champion and submission specialist Fabricio Werdum on Saturday night’s co-produced Strikeforce event, which aired on Showtime, Fedor The Last Emperor Emelianenko made it clear that he will use this loss to learn and reflect with intentions to return to action as soon as possible; resuming his position as one the greatest mixed martial artists of all time.

Who does not fall that does not arise, says Fedor. I was quick to attack Werdum on the ground and committed a fatal error against a prominent opponent. I believe in my abilities as a fighter and will return to my training with a newfound outlook. I will use this moment to reflect and return stronger to fight in America. While putting the evening into perspective Emelianenko told reporters,It happens so that I was made an idol. Everybody loses. That happens. I’m an ordinary human being as all of us are.
