Fedor defeated three opponents in under two minutes at the Russian Combat Sambo Championship:

As predicted, Fedor Emelianenko easily won all of his three fights. None of his opponents in this Russian championship forfeited as it has happened before in world and European championships, to the credit of our fighters.

In his first fight, Fedor quickly attacked, after a combination of strikes he took his opponent down and submitted him. The fight was 35 seconds long. His second fight was even shorter - Fedor broke his opponent’s nose on the 10th second.

The final fight against Stanislav Shushko took a little bit longer. Stanislav tried to keep Fedor at a distance using his height advantage, but Fedor closed the distance with a combination, went for a throw and a holddown. Then the fighters ended up in standing position again and the situation happened again - a combination of strikes from the champion, a throw, but this time Fedor finished his attack with a submission and won at 1 minute and 1 seconds.







Here's a da Vid of his Final Match.

Why won't he move to the UFC? Why is he wasting his time fighting sambo matches he knows he will dominate?

maybe i should have made it more clear.

My question is why is a top professional fighter competing in Sambo tournaments against guys who are nowhere near on his level. We know you are the best at Sambo, give someone else a shot.

Because his management are a bunch of greedy crooks and Fedor doesn't really seem to know what goes on behind the scenes.

"Because he's a big bully that picks on people" quote from a anonomous fighter in the sambo tournament.

One of the reasons he won't go to the UFC because they wouldn't let him compete in the Sambo tournaments and Fedor wants to fight in Sambo.

I see no problem with Fedor fighting in Sambo competitions, it's what he did before he was a big deal in mma, and it's nice to get that respect in his country as the best at their combat sport, obviously i too wish he had a top opponent lined up in mma, but the Sambo by itself isn't a problem imo.

Its Fedor's job to fight MMA. Thats how he gets paid. He might want to fight Combat Sambo or whatever, but sometimes you have to give up stuff for your real job. We all have to do it. Its not like its an unreasonable condition for the UFC to say that he cant do dangerous things like fight in Combat Sambo tournaments.
