Conducting a phone interview with Fedor Emelianenko on fight week is a little bit like trying to communicate with the Oracle at Delphi via a can and a string: you only get a few questions, filtered through a couple different channels, and the answers all seem like riddles unto themselves.

To be fair, it could just be this particular fight week (or even this particular interviewer), but the world’s top heavyweight wasn’t exactly in the most loquacious of moods after he finished up his open workout in San Jose on Wednesday afternoon.

Nonetheless, MMA Fighting finally got some time with “The Last Emperor” to talk about his upcoming Strikeforce bout and the future of his fighting career in general, and he was as efficient with his words as always. Check out the full interview below.
