Emelianenko's enthusiasm for fighting began with Sambo and judo. Sambo (самбо—also called Sombo or Cambo and sometimes written in all-caps is a modern Martial art, combat sport and Self-defense meaning "gentle way" is a modern Japanese martial art ( Gendai budō) and Combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late He initially trained under Vasiliy Ivanovich Gavrilov, and later under his current coach, Vladimir Mihailovich Voronov. Voronov remembers that ten-year-old Fedor was relatively weak physically and did not have an innate grappling talent; instead, his biggest strength was his perseverance and strong will. [13][14]

Emeliananko's official biography erroneously states that he trained in Sambo during his army years. However, he has specified in a 2005 interview that this is incorrect, and his training in the army was limited to running and strength training in a makeshift gym he put together himself. [14]

In 1997, Emelianenko received the official certification of a "Master of Sports" in Sambo and judo and became part of the Russian national team. Unified Sports Classification System of the USSR (Единая Всесоюзная спортивная классификация was a document which provided general [15] In 1998, after earning a bronze medal in the Russian Judo Championship, he started studying striking with arms and legs under coach Alexander Vasilievich Michkov. [6] Emelianenko started competing in combat sambo and mixed martial arts in 2000 at the age of 25, because he "didn't have any money". [16][17]

Emelianenko used to weight train extensively, but in 1999 he almost completely substituted his weight exercises with sport-specific training in grappling, boxing, and kickboxing. Grappling refers to the gripping handling and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking, typically through the application of various Grappling holds Boxing (sometimes also known as English boxing or pugilism) is a Combat sport in which two participants generally of similar weight, His strength training consists of daily pull-ups, push ups on parallel bars, and crunches.

[18] Emelianenko also runs twice a day every day for a combined distance of 12–15 kilometers (7. 5–9. 3 mi),[19] and is a proponent of high altitude training, travelling to Kislovodsk, Russia with his team once or twice a year to train in high altitude. Altitude training traditionally referred to as altitude camp, is the practice by some Endurance athletes of training for several weeks at high Altitude Kislovodsk (Кислово́дск is a city in Stavropol Krai, Russia.

Emelianenko's team consists of grappling coach Voronov, boxing coach Michkov, Muay Thai coach Ruslan Nagnibeda, doctor, masseuse and psychologist Oleg Neustroev, his training partners, including Roman Zentsov, and, until June 2006, his brother Aleksander. Roman Zentsov (r̠ʌˈman z̺ʲɛnˈʐəf Russian: Роман Зенцов (born September 10, 1973 in Bryansk, Russia) is a Aleksander Emelianenko ( Russian: Александр Емельяненко (born August 2, 1981) is a Russian Mixed martial arts [20]

In 2005 Emelianenko started paying special attention to improving his kicking technique. He trained Muay Thai with kickboxer Ernesto Hoost in Netherlands,[21] and added a Muay Thai coach, Ruslan Nagnibeda, “Seikin-do” league 78 kg title holder from 1998 to 2002 (33-3-1) and a former Tula State University Muay Thai instructor, to his team.

In November 2007, Emelianenko competed once again in the World Combat Sambo Championships, which brought together 780 representatives from 45 countries. When his opponent in the quarterfinals failed to show up, he received a bye to the semifinals, where he submitted a Bulgarian fighter with a choke in 40 seconds.

Club affiliation

Fedor Emelianenko began his mixed martial arts as a member of Russian Top Team, training with the first generation of Russian RINGS competitors, such as Volk Han and Andrey Kopylov. RINGS was a Japanese professional wrestling promotion and later a Mixed martial arts organization from 1991 to 2002. Gamzathanov Magomedhan Amanulajevich (Гамзатханов Магомедхан Аманулаевич born April 15, 1961 in Anchih, Dagestan After winning his PRIDE Heavyweight title, a rift grew between Emelianenko and the manager of RTT, Vladimir Evgenevich Pogodin. According to Emelianenko, Pogodin, who held the position of vice-president in the World Sambo Federation, attempted to control Emelianenko's career through threats and abuse of his position to deny "Master of Sports" titles to Fedor and his brother Aleksander, in addition to financial disputes between Pogodin and Emelianenko, with Fedor alleging he was deceived by Pogodin. [23] After his bout with Gary Goodridge, the Emelianenko brothers left Russian Top Team and began to train with the St. Petersburg based Red Devil Sport Club, which is managed by Vadim Finklestein. Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge (born January 17 1966 is a professional Super Heavyweight Kickboxer and Mixed martial artist of Trinidad Saint Petersburg ( tr: Sankt-Peterburg,) is a city and a federal subject of Russia located on the Neva River [14] To date, Finklestein is still his manager.

[6][25] Footage shows that the cut was caused by a missed looping punch where Kohsaka's elbow struck Emelianenko's head. Elbow strikes are illegal under RINGS rules unless the striker is wearing elbow pads, which Kohsaka wasn't. Emelianenko says that this elbow reopened a cut sustained in his previous fight against Ricardo Arona. Ricardo Arona (born July 17, 1978 in Brazil) is a Brazilian Mixed martial arts fighter and PRIDE FC middleweight grad [26] Since the fight was in a tournament format, a winner and loser was required as draws or no contests could not be awarded. Since Emelianenko could not advance due to his injury, Kohsaka moved on (the match would have been a no contest or disqualification victory for Emelianenko otherwise). [27] In spite of a hand injury, he avenged the loss at the PRIDE Bushido 6 event on April 3, 2005, defeating Kohsaka by technical knockout when the ring doctor stopped the fight after the first round.

This victory against a perennial contender brought him into title contention. [29]

Emelianenko was then signed to fight heavily favored Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira for PRIDE's heavyweight championship title at PRIDE 25 on March 16, 2003.

A hook is a punch in Boxing. It is performed by turning the core muscles and back thereby swinging the arm which is bent at an angle near or at 90 degrees [32][33] After working his way to a clinch, Emelianenko knocked Fujita down and went on to submit him at 4:17 in the first round with a rear naked choke.

Four months later at Total Elimination 2004, he met PRIDE 2000 Grand Prix winner and former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman for the first time in the ring and submitted him with an armbar at 2:11 of the first round to advance in the 2004 heavyweight Grand Prix.

Sergei Kharitonov (Сергей Харитонов Sergey Haritonov,) (born August 18, 1980 is a Russian heavyweight Mixed martial arts. This match was not only to decide the winner of the 2004 Grand Prix, but to unify the heavyweight championship as Nogueira was awarded the interim title due to Emelianenko's inability to defend his championship in a timely manner. [41] In this rematch with Nogueira, the fight was stopped due to a cut to Emelianenko's head from an accidental headbutt he delivered to Nogueira. [42] A third meeting was thus scheduled for Shockwave 2004, which Emelianenko won. PRIDE Shockwave 2004 (marketed in Japan as "Otoko Matsuri - Sadame" was a Mixed martial arts event held by PRIDE Fighting Championships.

In other notable bouts, Emelianenko won a unanimous decision over former K-1 star Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović, a bout he calls his toughest to date. Mirko Filipović (born on September 10 1974 often billed as Mirko Cro Cop, is a Croatian law enforcement officer turned kickboxer and [44] The fight had been delayed previously due to Emelianenko's hand injuries and Filipović's loss to Kevin Randleman derailing their expected meeting in the 2004 Grand Prix. [45] Emelianenko managed to outscore Filipović in stand up fighting, landing many hard body shots, and controlled the bout on the ground. He has later stated that his hand injury took away his grip strength and so prevented him from trying submissions. [46]

Although originally endangered due to Emelianenko's recurring hand injury, a plate inserted in his hand green-lighted a rematch with American Mark Coleman in PRIDE's American debut show. PRIDE 32 The Real Deal was a Mixed martial arts event and was held by the PRIDE Fighting Championships. [47][48] In a fight where Coleman was unable to mount any significant offense, Emelianenko defeated Coleman with an armbar at 1:15 in the second round. [49]

Emelianenko's most recent title defense was against 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix champion Mark Hunt at Shockwave 2006.

Side control (often also called side mount or sometimes cross mount) is a dominant ground grappling position where the top combatant is lying perpendicularly [50] At five minutes into the first round, Hunt made two attempts at an americana on Emelianenko’s left arm but failed to complete them.

BodogFight

With a special clause in his PRIDE contract that allowed him to fight under the banner of any mixed martial arts organization as long as the event was held on Russian soil, Emelianenko accepted a match in BodogFight against Matt Lindland. bodogFight was a Mixed martial arts promotion founded by online gambling magnate Calvin Ayre. Matthew James "The Law" Lindland (born May 17 1970) is an American Professional Mixed martial arts (MMA fighter Olympic The fight was held on April 14, 2007 at the "Clash of the Nations" event in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Early in the fight, Lindland opened a cut above Emelianenko's left eye and clinched with him, pushing him into the corner and working for a takedown. At this point, the referee warned Emelianenko against grabbing the ropes and Emelianenko corrected himself. After a few seconds of working in the clinch, Lindland attempted a bodylock takedown. In Wrestling, the bear hug (also known as a bodylock) is a Grappling term for a clinch hold and stand-up grappling position where When Lindland lifted Emelianenko from his feet, Emelianenko reached for and made contact with the top rope; whether he grabbed it or only touched it remains a subject of disagreement. [53] After Emelianenko reversed Lindland's takedown and landed in his half guard, the fight remained on the ground where Emelianenko won by submission via armbar at 2:58 of the first round. Half guard or alternatively half mount is a ground grappling position where one combatant is lying on the other with the bottom combatant having one leg entangled

Negotiations with UFC and M-1 Global

Since the purchase of PRIDE by the majority owners of UFC and the expiration of Emelianenko's contract with PRIDE, there has been speculation about the possibility of him fighting in the UFC, especially since a public falling out between Bodog's Calvin Ayre and Emelianenko's manager, Vadim Finklestein. PRIDE Fighting Championships ( PRIDE or PRIDE FC for short was a Mixed martial arts organization based in Japan.
