Not unless he has lost the will to fight. I think he may be better served moving down to 205.

I don't really have a strong opinion. He has gotten slower and less explosive, and certainly isn't capable of dominating the division like he used to. He's still capable of beating good fighters, but given his career I'm not sure there's much point to continuing as just another heavyweight.

I really can't see him actually doing that, though. He's not going to suddenly start cutting weight, and losing the fat seems even less likely.

The problem with that is that Fedor doesn't care if he keeps fighting. He doesn't seem to be someone who will miss the High Life such as Randy and others.

"I rushed to declare my retirement. I will fight more. Possibly, I will return to the Heavyweight Grand-Prix. I am capable of having a few more fights. I didn't make any analysis yet on why I lost. I need to recover, I can't see very well yet." - Fedor Emelianenko


So it looks like he isn't done.

Good news if he still wants to fight.


He has gotten slower and less explosive, and certainly isn't capable of dominating the division like he used to.


I also agree with this statement.
