Strikeforce heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko joins several others for a dip in the icy river of the Oskol river in Russia as part of the Orthodox Epiphany’s Eve. The fighter did to help cleanse himself spiritually and to gain strength for the coming year.
The temperature outside was apparently -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit).
Fedor meets Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva on Feb. 12 at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey in the main event of Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva on Showtime.
