SAN JOSE, Calif. – Like famed boxer Mike Tyson before him, MMA great
Fedor Emelianenko has always had a presence about him.

Many an opponent of the Russian heavyweight has admitted after the fact that
the icy cold stare of Emelianenko left them at a mental disadvantage
from the opening bell.

Not so for Brazilian Fabricio Werdum, who defeated
Emelianenko in the main event of Saturday’s “Strikeforce and M-1 Global:
Fedor vs. Werdum” event in San Jose, Calif. – at least not as far as he
can remember.
