Don't get the confused. Combat Sambo is much more like MMA. Combat Sambo, which is what Fedor fights in, ISN’Y the same as traditional Sambo. Don’t get the confused.

The Sherdog Fight Finder states that his record in MMA is 14-0 -1. That is impressive at any rate. It might not be a bad idea to match these two up in the futue given the current storyline. It's all about promotion these days's. I would like to see Emelianenko vs. Barnett first should they both win in January. I honestly think Fedor isn't going to lose again except maybe to Nogueira in the UFC if that ever happened, just my opinon. Fedor's first loss was a farce and he waxed TK in their second bout. I hope he steps into the Octagon by mid-2010...one can only hope. There is a fourm on Sherdog reporting that Blagoi Ivanov has in fact signed with Affliction.

Fedor actually knocked the guy down, and his opponent was given a standing 8 count. Somewhat rare because of the head gear used. Even at that, a Judo throw is worth more than knocking a guy to a standing 8, resulting in the loss. Kudos to Ivanov, but don't kid yourself. Fedor would dominate the guy in MMA, and I'm guessing the President's Cup will still any fears of Fedor's imminent demise.
