Fedor Emelianenko makes disabled Russian girl's dream come true

Amidst all the talk of heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko making a return to MMA, with speculation rife as to which organisation he'll sign with, the stoic Russian let his guard down on Sunday when he made a young girl's dream come true.

Young Yana Karakyanova, who is wheelchair bound, was stunned when Emelianenko and his daughter passed by and kindly donated to her 'raising funds for a dream' scheme in Kislovodsk city park.

At first, Karakyanova wasn't sure if it was really Emelianenko who walked by; it was only after the former Pride champion and his daughter walked away she had realised who he was.
