Fedor Emelianenko suffered a broken nose and injured his left hand during his heavyweight bout with Brett Rogers Saturday at Strikeforce/M-1 Global “Fedor vs. Rogers,” Sherdog.com has learned from a source close to the fighter’s camp.
nobones - Fedor is always breaking his hands because he doesn't throw his punches properly he like invented his own punching technique. He throws them like he's throwing a sling shot or something and he lets like whatever part of his fist connect with his opponent's head he don't give a shit. Gets him the KO but he usually fucks up his hands around the thumb area. Bas explained what he does wrong on an episode of HD Net news show he hosts. Oh well, it gets him the wins I suppose but certainly not something you can teach to anyone else.
He throws them like a sambo fighter. There was a link in the video in the tutorial section of this website to an instructional video on how to throw punches that way.

he actually throws his punches quite proper for what he's doing...he didnt invent it, its called casting, or long hooks, depending on your preference. there have been numerous threads and videos on this very site over the years detailing it.
its very common in eastern european fighters, and is taught in combat sambo and systema.
