Strikeforce Fedor vs. Silva: How Many Fights Does Fedor Have Left?

It's a question that can raise a lot of answers. Fedor Emelianenko has been at the top of the MMA world for years. Now, after his losing his last fight to heavyweight Fabricio Werdum, Fedor has lost some of the hype that's surrounded one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.

Fedor is 34 years old and has amassed a record of 32-2-0 with one no contest since he started fighting way back in 2000.

He can fight until he's 40 if he wants to. He hasn't even had a fight go to decision since 2005 when he fought Mirko Cro Cop at Pride Final Conflict.

There's still plenty left in the tank for Fedor. Plenty of gas for him to go further. Up until his loss to Werdum, Fedor had pulled off 28 straight wins (with a no contest in between).  

Fedor has kept in great shape over the years. He hasn't fought more than twice in one year since 2005.

At the rate he's going, he could last at least eight more fights. Fedor needs to grab hold of the Strikeforce heavyweight title.

He's not done building upon his already golden resume. He has amassed titles and racked up big victories over some of the greatest fighters in MMA.

He's still hungry for one more belt, the Strikeforce heavyweight championship.

One loss does not mean Fedor is done; that he's over the hill. Not one bit.A loss is a loss.

He made a mistake and got caught, it happens to everybody.

Just in Fedor's case, it's only happened twice in his career. His only other loss—a 2000 doctor stoppage against Tsuyoshi Kosaka—is disputed by many fight fans and experts.

Come Saturday, Fedor makes one more step toward cementing his legacy as the greatest of all time in MMA.

Beating Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva gets him at least one more fight in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament.

Fedor will push on and should be the favorite to win the tournament, even with current Strikeforce and Dream heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem competing.

Look, some fighters have the heart to battle through the aging process. Fedor hasn't shown any signs of weakness or aging. When those signs start to pop up, we should start talking about how he's past his prime and close to retirement.

He is what he is: Fedor Emelianenko, one of the best fighters in MMA history.

He's got at least four years of fights left in him if he decides to keep fighting. No wear and tear yet for Fedor.
