Brett Rogers lost to Fedor Emelianenko, then looked terrible in his next fight. Andrei Arlovski lost to Fedor Emelianenko, then looked terrible in his next fight. Tim Sylvia lost to Fedor Emelianenko, then looked terrible in his next fight. Noticing a trend here?
Emelianenko himself says there’s nothing to it. But there’s no doubt about it: Of Emelianenko’s last eight opponents, not a single one has notched a significant victory since losing to Fedor. You have to go all the way back to Fedor’s victory over Mirko Cro Cop almost five years ago to find anyone who has accomplished much of anything in the ring or cage after fighting Fedor.
