You know what they say about big heads? Big brains! And apparently Antonio Silva’s got one big sharp brain he used to beat Fedor Emelianenko. Fighters Only produced this interview from Fedor’s coach, Vladimir Voronov in which he blames “forbidden psychological technologies” that “could not be seen by the naked eye” for Fedor’s loss. Voronov’s interview was given to Russian website, Lifesports.Ru and we’re not sure how good the translation provided is, but here’s what it looked like at Fighters Only:
“We believe that forbidden psychological technology was used… It seems to us that not everything was right, and that certain technologies were used. Not ones that could be seen by the naked eye but psychological technologies that worked on both fighters at a distance. That is why during the fight Fedor was just not like himself. It seemed very strange behaviour from Fedor. He stepped into the ring and did everything exactly the opposite of what we practiced before the fight. We were all shocked! Fedor had never previously done such a thing. Now nearly a week passes, everything settles, and we understand why all this happened.”
The article goes on to say “‘Voronov also observed with suspicion the fact that Fedor seemed to look “a little depressed” while Silva “literally glowed from the overflowing of his energy”. Voronov suspects the use of a person or persons in the audience capable of “blocking energy” and “transferring energy from one person to another’”
In reaction to all this serious suspicion, Antonio “Big Foot” Silva’s manager Alex Davis turned to the underground forums of MixedMartialArts.com to admit to the mind games! Davis said:
“Jeez!! I got [caught!] I will have to come out with the truth now! I hired a Macumbeiro and we killed a black chicken on the crossroads. After this, over a few beers, I showed the witch doctor Fedor’s fights, and he was worried that a chicken wouldn’t be enough, so we went out and killed a black goat just to make sure! Very potent stuff! Really messed Fedor’s brain waves up! We wanted to try that other military stuff Voronov is talking about, but it’s expensive technology and we were broke! The chicken and the goat came out way cheaper. Witch doctor is a friend; [he] did it for a few beers and an autograph!”
Now we at Fix get it… haha Davis is mocking the accusations…. but they do say that people who are lying use a lot of detail in their stories. And this above, my friends, is a lot of detail from Alex Davis. So we’re gonna go ahead and side with the crazy Russians here and bank on that mind control theory. We just hope the athletic commissions figure out some kind of mind control testing as a future preventative measure.
