After Russian heavyweight great Fedor Emelianenko lost for the second straight time this past Saturday night he spoke cryptically: “Something was wrong from the beginning. I didn’t adjust. Maybe it is time to leave.”
Rashad Evans appeared on last night’s edition of PRO MMA Radio gave an interesting theory as to what Fedor may have meant by “something was wrong.” According to Evans, Emelianenko was upset before the fight because his priest had not yet arrived.
“I have someone close to the situation who was working with Bigfoot,” said Evans. “They said that Fedor was all upset because his priest didn’t come in. You know, he always has a priest for every one of his fights, and the priest didn’t come in or came in late, and it really messed him up mentally.
“When he came out, he seemed to be showing more emotion than he normally does. Normally he has a straight face, but he looked like he was mad, not like the typical Fedor we see.
“That second round, when he broke, I would have never imagined. I would have never imaged that it would have happened to Fedor, but this is the fight business, anything can happen.”
