Fedor Emelianenko Is a Yellow-Bellied Coward For Ducking Brock Lesnar

Strikeforce announced that World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko signed a multi-fight agreement to fight for their promotion Monday.

“Strikeforce is a top promotion that houses some of the greatest fighters in the world,” said Emelianenko, 32, who will make his debut for the company sometime this fall. “I am prepared to fight any of them.”

Emelianenko (30-1), who had negotiated all last week with UFC to no avail, is considered by many analysts and fighters to be the greatest mixed martial artist in history.

Despite his lofty stature in the world of MMA, it is hard to understand Emelianenko’s decision to snub the UFC, and it will be even more difficult for genuine fight fans to now recognize the Russian as anything except a yellow-bellied coward.

“Fedor is a fucking joke,” abrasive UFC President Dana White said after he learned that the last holder of the Pride Heavyweight Championship had signed with Strikeforce. “He turns down a huge deal and the opportunity to face the best in the world to fight nobodies for no money.”

White, and most MMA fans around the world, had envisioned a dream matchup that would have pitted Emelianenko against current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, 32.

Lesnar (4-1) is a legitimate beast in the octagon and it is curious and disheartening that Emelianenko would cower and basically refuse to scrap the greatest fighters in the world.

Emelianenko’s moniker is “The Russian Military Experiment.”

One can only presume that the Russian military is conducting an experiment on cravens.

Brock Lesnar is “The Next Big Thing” and Emelianenko is essentially a never was.
