If there was any question as to what kind of shape Fedor Emelianenko would be in for his upcoming Strikeforce fight Saturday night against Dan Henderson, this photo should answer it.
Hendo tweeted the photo above today after snapping the pic with his noticeably slimmer Russian opponent in the hotel lobby in Chicago.
Fedor V.2.0 is a stark contrast to the slightly pudgier version of “The Last Emperor” we’ve become accustomed to.
If he loses any more weight, he’ll have to donate his Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory to Goodwill.





At this point i think theres been too much rhetoric from Fedor’s camp for him to drop to 205. I think it’s a great sign that he’s finally training with elite level guys and not whatever lackeys he can rustle up from the grain mills of Stary Oskol. could be exactly what his career needs. People calling for a fedor-couture bout, remember, theres about a 14 year age gap between them. Sure, randy’s a genetic anomaly, but at this point he’s hit his wall at almost 50 years old. Fedor is Anderson Silvi’s age, he could rejuvenate his career with new training partners and better nutrition.
Also, he does NOT look like he’s 210 lbs. He’s as thick as Henderson and quite a bit taller from that photo. He’s probably still in the 220s if I had to guess.
