MOSCOW, December 31 – R-Sport, Vasily Konov Jr. The world-famous Russian mixed martial arts fighter Fedor quickly and without any problems figured out Indian Jaideep Singh in his first bout since returning .
Before the match last emperor left the ring as much as in June 2012, and then took a shocking decision about retirement at age 35. Emelianenko has focused on the development of MMA in Russia and abroad, leading the Russian Union of MMA and took place in the Ministry of Sports of Russia. A July 14, 2015 a fighter pleased with the whole world of martial arts in its decision to return to professional sport.
A contract was signed for one fight with the newly formed Japanese promotional company Rizin, which was organized by the former head of the once very large organization MMA World Pride Nabuyuki Sakakibara, a good friend Emelianenko. According to the old praydovskoy tradition of the first battle of the new organization was appointed to 31 December, the Japanese Saitama, where the return of 39-year-old The Last Emperor was to be the cherry on the cake of the tournament.
For a long time for whatever reason the opponent Emelianenko officially not declared, even rumors about a possible cancellation of the fight. The result – only two weeks before the match the organizers called the name of the opponent: he became Singh, who is well known for his performances in K-1 (kickboxing), and MMA has had only two fights. Of course, immediately began to talk about non-compliance level opponent and predictions about the easy and fast victory of the Russians, which eventually happened.
“Theodore did everything professionally”
Before the fight in the ring Emelianenko under the wild applause of a large audience was awarded by the Government of Japan for its contribution to the development of friendly relations with Russia. After the gong Emelianenko waited for the moment to take the fight to the dimensional Singh to the ground. After a few punches Emelianenko lightning translated opponent to the ground and began to act in a way that it became clear that an Indian will not be able to stand up. As a result, 3 minutes, 2 seconds of a still Singh after a series of attacks signaled the termination of the battle and the last emperor was declared the winner by technical knockout.
Taking the floor after the fight Emelianenko, who is always modest in his comments , thanked the audience and congratulated everyone with the holidays. “I am very glad to be back and was able to win – said Emelianenko. – Thanks to everyone who supported me. We have a very good team.

The coach Vladimir Voronov Fedor stated willingness excellent athlete. “It is only at first glance appeared to be easily and effortlessly. There was a lot of work! This fight was not as easy as it looked. When the fight ends quickly, all say that the enemy is not the same, it was easy, but trust me, the main thing – plow. Fedor – well, did everything professionally: he did not obbivat hands on high enemy turned the matter to the ground and has finished it. What else do you want? ” – Said the expert, who added that information about the next fight Emelianenko will be announced on January 1 at the press conference.

The Russian MMA fighter Sergei Kharitonov, who in 2010 lost to Singh in the battle for the K-1 rules, sure Emelianenko rivals should be higher level. “Singh – this is not the level of Fedor. I do not know in what form Jaideep, but in K-1, he would beat Emelianenko and MMA was immediately clear that he had nothing to do against Fedor – said Kharitonov. – Up (Fabricio ) Werdum or (Cain) Velasquez too early, of course. This is necessary to come, but in the future should definitely be a contender not like Jaideep and stronger “.
But the champion of Bellator Vitaly Minakov thinks that Emelianenko already worthy of meeting with top MMA fighters. “In the battle with Singh viewers and fans of mixed martial arts is difficult to determine in what form is Fedor. But I was present at his training camp at the initial stage of preparation and can objectively say that Fedor is in perfect shape as in his best years, when he played and won. That is true. I think that Fedor is able to compete with the strongest fighters of MMA “- Minako said.
” Some doubted his victory? Fedor preparing for this fight for six months, serious training and knew that he had to go back. And to come back, you have to start over from scratch. He did everything as needed: a powerful prepared, trained seriously. We must pay tribute to him because he prepared really to go back, not for show, some boxers: out of the shadows and back to the fall, “- said the president of the All-Russian Sambo Federation Sergey Eliseev.
