Fedor To Return At New Year's Eve

Fedor Emelianenko has spoken today about his plans for the rest of this year.

He was supposed to fight Andre Arlovski at the next Affliction event, but has been pulled from this due to injury. Arlovski will instead fight Josh Barnett for the number one contender slot. The winner of this fight will then fight Fedor.

Fedor said today that he wants to fight both fighters, not just the winner. Both of these fights stand to be very exciting and we hope they happen sometime in the near future. They won't happen this year, however.

Fedor's next fight will take place on New Year's Eve in Japan. There have been rumors that he would face Cro Cop, but this will now not happen. His opponent is not yet determined, but is expected to be a Judo legend or a Sumo wrestler. We will bring you more information as we learn it.
