Should Fedor Emelianenko Retire?

Do you think Fedor Emelianenko should at this point call it a career and retire? Do you think his days are finally done? he does have a contract with Strikeforce for more fights and for sure for millions of dollars but is this it for the last emperor? He has had one of the greatest careers in all of mixed martial arts history. He is widely regarded as the greatest of all time. The Pride fighting championship heavyweight for years and years. He was undefeated for almost 10 years until losing to Fabricio Werdum and now Big Foot Silva. Has his time come to an end? The greatest mixed martial artist retires?

So I just got finished watching the Fedor Emelianenko vs Antonio Big Foot Silva fight and Fedor lost. This loss is definitely not good for the last emperor's career. We may be beginning to see the end of the once seemingly invincible champion. Before the beginning of the third round the referee felt that he had seen enough and called a stop to the fight. Fedor's face was mangled and his right eye was completely shut. After some brutal ground and pound it was too much. Fedor has suffered too much damage and the fight had to be stopped. So it looks like we may never get to see Fedor vs Alistair Overeem after all. The match everyone has been waiting for seems to be eluding us again but for the completely wrong reasons. Fedor was the favourite to not just win this match but the entire tournament which obviously will not happen now as he has been eliminated.

He should retire or drop weight and do some LHW superfights. Size is a factor in MMA now, in all divisions. A small heavyweight like Fedor needs to be in his prime to fight the larger heavyweights in MMA today. Cain Valesquez is in his prime right now. Fedor is not, but he's still a good fighter. Look at how ineffective Cro Cop has become. Big Nog isn't even a shell of his former self in Pride. Couture even dropped weight because heavyweights were getting too big. Now its Fedor's time...

@FAON1886 I agree with this.

[theDracoIX]

RETIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE

[TrevorHarris881]

@theDracoIX lol thanks dude. It looks like a lot of people want Fedor to retire. Not as many as want him to continue but quite a few. Very surprising.

[SABWT2320]

This was his last fight on his contract. But I don't think he should retire

[TrevorHarris881]

@SABWT2320 no bro he resigned another one before the tournament started.

Fedor needs to drop 20 pounds and fight at 205! he'll beat the shit out of anyone! Fedor is not even training!! I personally think that Fedor wanted to lose unconciouslly! like he wants a break or something. I can tell something is not ok with him.

[alex131313ism]

@XBlackPropagandaX yup 60 pound diffrence and still could not stop him

[XBlackPropagandaX]

i'm just wondering why the big weight difference in the fedor and silva fight. it wasn't a fair fight at all.

[MursuTheMan]

Frankie Edgar vs Jon Jones!

[ramosp2]

Fedor's only 35!? He looks like he's in his mid-40's, those are signs of not having a good life.

[opethgarzaMD]

i could be time to retire, if he considers it

besides that, he can still fight for few years

he has nothing to prove anymore, and maybe he doesn't love this anymore, and he has the right of choice

in his prime he would've been able to win this fight for sure, maybe by ko, tko, submission or decision, MAYBE with better training he would've been able to win maybe not, who knows

one thing is sure, he's the best of history, the most complete and dominant fighter ever

long live the king

[SlickLatino1]

look how many other fighters has lost, fedor has dominated for 10 years, he has only to losses, its nothing, he just needs to train properly, wich he hasnt been doing, he will for his next fight. when he beats dan henderson he will get offered to fighter the loser of werdum overeem. he is still the shit, hes fedor. if u fink just because of two losses he should retire then u dont no nothing about mma period!

[SlickLatino1]

Fedor hasnt been training as he use to, he just just rileyes on his skills to much. Now hes gone to holland to train with hernesto hoosts to improve his stand up skills an has been said he is trianing 3 times harder than what he use to trian. people its only two fuc king losses wtf!! look at other fighters how many times have they lost?? only beucase he has lost 2 times every is saying retire no!! he has lernt his mistake, wich was not to slack in training!

[ChronicJiujitsu]

fedor, drop weight, get faster, lose your camp, and dominate

[LacosteBoy1986]

FEDOR fight 205!!!
