Fedor Emelianenko’s coach Vladimir Voronov has presented an interesting theory for his fighter’s loss to Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva on Saturday night.

We believe that forbidden psychological technology was used… It seems to us that not everything was right, and that certain technologies were used. Not ones that could be seen by the naked eye but psychological technologies that worked on both fighters at a distance, he said to Russian website LifeSports.ru

That is why during the fight Fedor was just not like himself. It seemed very strange behaviour from Fedor. He stepped into the ring and did everything exactly the opposite of what we practiced before the fight. We were all shocked! Fedor had never previously done such a thing.

Now nearly a week passes, everything settles, and we understand why all this happened.

Voronov suspects the use of a person or persons in the audience capable of blocking energy and transferring energy from one person to another.

Last November Voronov appeared on he tcable television station Russia Today to talk about Emelianenko and their first meeting over 20 years ago

I saw a halo over his head … He was the chosen one. About Emelianenko’s work ethic, Voronov said, Overcoming laziness and tiredness, that is his way.

It was a Voronov joke lost in the translation of a less than serious article 🙂

***Update***From ValeTudo.ru

In regards to Kogan’s lost in translation tweet, I can assure you guys, there is NOTHING lost in translation. That is exactly what Voronov said in Russian. This sparked a BIG debate on all Russian MMA forums, cause people call him nuts now. More that that, Kogan wasn’t even there when Voronov said it, he was in Holland, and Voronov was in Moscow airport. M-1 is trying to put some damage control crap, but those are Voronov’s words, nothing was lost or misinterpreted.

2009 SI profile of Voronov:

For nearly half his life, broad-chested, wise-cracking Vladimir Voronov, 43, has called Emelianenko a student and friend. Theirs is an old-school relationship, one in which fighters and trainers work under a lasting accord.

“My trainers made me who I am,” Emelianenko said. “They taught me everything I know. They’re very close to me.”

“Vladimir is naturally a gifted fighter, more gifted even than Fedor originally,” said Oleg Taktarov, a friend of the trainer. “He was born with better qualities, body and everything else. Just mentally he falls short.”

“Yes, I’m pretty good. I agree,” laughed the humble trainer.

As part of a program led by Voronov, a Russian sambo and judo champion, Emelianenko, then 12, was among 300 pre-teen boys competing for specialized training later in life.

“I knew he had a future right away with the personality of persistence and stubbornness, but in a good way — he gets what he wants,” Voronov said. “He has a very deep soul. And whatever he does, he does with his soul, thinking and serious.”

Voronov “knows Fedor probably more than he knows himself,” said Taktarov.
