Once again, the proclaimed "greatest fighter in the world" lost again. Fedor Emelianenko was finished with strikes by Dan Henderson after almost finishing the fight himself. It was quick, it was devastating, and it was shocking. Also on the card, Miesha Tate won the Women's Bantamweight Championship by defeating former title holder Marloes Coenen with an arm triangle choke, Tim Kennedy defeated Robbie Lawler via unanimous decision by using his wrestling to repeatedly take Lawler down, Tyron Woodley did the same to defeat Paul Daley via unanimous decision, and Tarec Saffiedine defeated Scott Smith via unanimous decision.
Just days after the event, it was announced that Fedor had been cut from Strikeforce and Zuffa. Although most of us would never think something like this would happen, it wasnt a very big surprise. Im just surprised the guy hasnt retired yet. If I was the greatest in the world and lost three in a row, I probably would have jumped off the Tobin bridge already. Im surprised he still has the will to fight and compete. But all is well for us Fedor fans, apparently he is returning in the fall in Russia. We can only pray that he faces a stiff and beats the living shit out of him.
As for points awarded for the event, Jon got 4 points, Joe and I (Shawn) each got 3 points, and Vinny got 2 points.
Standings:
Shawn: 57 points
Joe: 55 points
Vinny: 51 points
