Sorry to start yet another Fedor thread!
How is he seen and taken in Russia?
Is he a superstar over there?
Does he have a traveling fanbase?
Fedor v Lesner...it's kinda like Rocky IV in reverse!
ttt for anyone with an answer
Just talked to a guy from Russia but I cant remember where he was from. He had no idea who Fedor was. lol
He is not famous in the mother land from what I know. I heard something about most russians dont take MMA all too seriously because it's not a olympic sport. I am sure Igor kan elaborate on this.
I wonder who are the 'top 10' most popular athletes in Russia?

At the Strikeforce press con Fedor was asked about his fame in Russia. He said he was way more famous in the USA, but that the Rogers fight was shown on national tv there, so the thought that would change.
I wish him the best. He's a really likable guy.
cheers
1. KARELIN
2. MEDVED
3. HARLAMOV
4. KOROLEV
5.YASHIN
6. YARYGIN
7. TSZYU
8. ALEKSEEV
9. VOVCHANCHIN
10. EMELIANENKO
It is my personal rating.
Igor, no Klitschko?
no malkin or ovechkin?
Good to see Kostya in the top 10. Class act and very good fighter.
Izzy - Igor, no Klitschko?
Ukrainian...and the bad kind
Igor: no Tretiak??
hubris - Igor: no Tretiak??
Very good!
But Harlamov - Legend!
Karaelin is obviously number one...it would have been scary to see him in MMA in his prime
he would be a worthy champ
Tretyak, Fetisov, Kharlamov, Kharitonov, Larionov >> Everyone else!
ttt
staalosaur - no malkin or ovechkin?

WAR MALKIN (& the penguins mascots, his parents)
