Fedor Emelianenko vs Blagoi Ivanov at Combat Sambo World Championships 2008
Fedor Emelianenko’s (in blue) loss in Combat Sambo World Championships 2008 on November 16, 2008. The fighter, Blagoi Ivanov (in red), was signed by Affliction MMA moments after match although the two had been in talks for weeks prior to the tournament. Ivanov holds a record of 14-0-1 in amateur MMA.
Of the loss, Fedor said this:
“Yes, it was my first defeat in Combat Sambo, nothing shocking though. Its a sport, it could have happened in any moment. I’m happy that I haven’t lost by KO or any other unpleasent way. I’v lost by the throw. In MMA you can be on your back as long as you want. In CS is a different rules. Nevertheless I started with Sambo and I love this sport and I will continue to compete in it. From every fight I learn something. In this case I learned that you can’t have it all, if you do everyhting at ones. At the monent the most important thing for me is MMA. Its important for me to stay the champion. In MMA I won’t let myself to relax at all. As for Sambo – its like a hobby (proper translation) to me, so I can relax a little bit. I can’t train as hard for Sambo, because I have other things to do”.
I know the quality is bad, but it was the only one I could find.

Yeah its just a hobby for him so really its no big deal. All you have to do in Sambo is get the other person on there back and win, it can happen to anyone just like he said. Still the Emporer of MMA.
OMG who cares… its like loosing a wrestling match…, plus it was by points and fedor owned him twice before
cashville hw you are the man i agree with everything you say all the time..
brock lesner sucks
brock lesnar is a joke, also he is everything dana white said he wouldn’t resort to in the ufc.
good match
militech vs denny fight getting posted anytime soon?
haha yea i was wondering about pat vs denny too
fedor vs arlovski should be sick though, i dunno if fedors fought anyone of arlovski’s caliber in hands
Fedor will outstrike and TKO Arlovski in the first round, I called it.
brock would kick is ass cause this bloke did
I have a hunch that if Big Nog wins against Frank Mir the UFC will not want Brock to fight him but will rather set up a fight with Fedor instead. The UFC is all business and it is definitely not in their interest to have Antonio Nogueira as the UFC champion due to his double loss to Fedor. In fact I even predict that they might stall by having a Mir/Lesnar rematch before hosting a Nog/Lesnar fight. Brock should go for guts and glory and forestall fighting Nog to take on Fedor. It can’t hurt his career because it is now a badge of honor to lose to Fedor.
Fedor is weak. One Kimbos punch will make him see stars. All these foreign guys are weak. If you want to see the best, it is here in the US. Just look at Kimbo #1 p4p and you will be scare.

Haha! Kimbo? Kimbo was easy knocked out by someone who a last minute fill in. What are you smoking to think Kimbo can have a chance against half the people in MMA? All foreign guys are weak? Wow, you sound like a douche.
