Commentators mentioned during the broadcast that Vitaly Minakov, Vladimir Mineev and Aleksandr Volkov took part in our preparation for the event. But they did not. I respect these athletes but they didn't participate in our training camp. The commentators were unprofessional and unprepared. They made a lot of omissions. For example they talked about the training camp in Stary Oskol and in Holland but their TV channel covered other places of our training as well.
I got the impression that these commentators were unfamiliar with MMA. I don't like that a lot viewers who watched Rizin live got the wrong information. They should've done their job more responsibly. I get it that commenting on the first event of a new promotion is pretty hard but you always can request information, talk to athletes, watch documentaries in order to avoid making things up.
"I cherish the greatest respect for Fedor Emelianenko. And with great pleasure will continue to comment on the fighting with Fedor, but this is changing somewhat upset. It is surprising that in Instagram Fyodor wrote that there were charges Minakova and Mineev . And they were, and this has been documented in social networks, including the photos, which they train together. And how can you say that it was not? And we are at the same time been accused of incompetence. And also states that, that there had been a lot of inaccuracies. But what exactly - is not very clear. "
"On the very Fedor information it was very small. We have repeatedly tried to invite him to the air or to contact him, but talk is Fedor - a big problem. And his press service in this respect did not give any information so the information on the preparations had to be taken from the internet and not from the horse's mouth. That's the problem. And what we talked about in the air, at least, about the charges in the Netherlands, which were all that there is documentary evidence. And we would like to reaching out firsthand - but, unfortunately, it was not possible to communicate with Fedor directly. "

Why would commentators even bother researching such a shit fight? Good for them for not wasting their time and energy. No one cared even about the fight much less who Fedor trained with.
MrShush - Fedor came out of retirement to fight a terrible can for a promoter with known yakuza ties.
Fedor is no longer being managed by Vadim; did he come back just to make old age money since Vadim robbed him blind?
Fedor refused to make himself available to the promotion or broadcasters, then bitched that they weren't accurate enough in their reporting.
This guy...not so sure why people line up to cradle his nuts. Maybe it was the Zulu fight?
No, I'm pretty sure it was the Coleman fight, Randleman fight, the Hong Man Choi fight (a monster of a man, and respected kickboxer when he was on the juice), the Mark Hunt fight...
When he beat Tim Sylvia... Arlovski... Lindland... TK... Big Nog became Zombie Nog by fighting Fedor... The Goodridge fight. Schilt... Another monster of a kickboxer.
Did I mention the CroCop fight?
CroCop was much better in a ring than in a cage (less space for the other fighter to circle away), and when juiced he was very VERY dangerous.
All cans, amirite? But yeah, you find someone who was on a better 9 YEAR streak than Fedor, between 2000 and 2009. Let alone at Heavyweight. Let me know what you find!
