Even if Fedor Emelianenko ends up winning a seat in the Russian Parliament, his country’s politics will not take away from the top heavyweight’s fight career, says M-1 Global Director of Operations Evgeni Kogan.

“I don’t think it would be particularly strenuous,” Kogan tells MMAFighting.com. “We’re talking about a particular region in Russia that he’s in. We’re not talking about federal politics as far as Russia is concerned … It’s not necessarily a strenuous task for him to deal with that and fight at the same time.”
