MMA fans rejoice, Fedor Emelianenko is coming back. “The Last Emperor” won't be, though. He is dead. Are you OK with that?
Me? Yes, it's just fine. In the spirit of most MMA retirements, I never expected the greatest heavyweight ever to just quit cold turkey at 36 years old, which is still a fairly youthful and exuberant age by heavyweight standards. Going on 39 now, it's as good of a time as any for Emelianenko to grab what cash he can in this sport before he's fully past his expiration date. I'm a curious man and I'm very curious what becomes of the man who put Stary Oskol on the map.
