Look! An actual smile out of Fedor Emelianenko

By Maggie Hendricks

The most surprising thing to come out of Strikeforce's pre-fight press conference today was not any bit of news. It was a smile from "The Last Emperor," Fedor Emelianenko, who will fight Brett Rogers in a three-round bout in suburban Chicago on Saturday.

    Looks like it was you Margaret making him smile. Could you be The Last Emperor's Coffield as he was to DW?

    So why is it only a 3 round fight? Is Emelianenko not a champion? Or is that WAMMA or whatever belt not real?

    Where's Fedor's hands? Maybe he's taking care of himself and the guy to his left?
    And the Charlie Brown comment is perfect!!
    Can someone photoshop that and post it please?

    How about writing about GSP wearing Under Armour. Sounds like an article "tailor made" for you!

    Really? Fedor smiles quite often... especially while eating ice cream or wearing the sweater of absolute victory.
    sigh...

    It would be more surprising if it was Aleks smiling.

    That smile is going to be upside down after Brett breaks him off.

    He's probably smiling after seeing Bro Hawk's haircut. Dubya b - Brett has a puncher's chance, albeit a very slim one. Fedor is not Arlovski, he's not going to stand in front of the big guy like a dumbass.

    Wow. Killer story. I'm guessing he doesnt smile alot because he speaks Russian and he usually fights in Japan or The U.S. alot. So more often then not he can't understand what the hell people are talking about. Maybe a reporter that speaks Russian asked him "Have you read anything by this Maggie from Yahoo?"

    FEDOR SMILES! Is this actually news worthy, what a waste of space, who cares if Fedor smiled? Is job is not to smile, it is to beat the crap out of another guy in a ring/cage!

    I think Fedor is just excited because he knows today is Cagewriter Facepalm Of The Week day...and he can't wait to see who gets it.
