Fedor Emelianenko Loses To Fabricio Werdum

Fedor Emelianenko Loses To Fabricio Werdum

Nobody expected this outcome! Fedor taps out after he gets submitted by a triangle / armbar in the first round. Fedor landed with some glancing shots that caught Werdum off balance more then anything else, but down Werdum went. Instantly, Fedor jumped on him, into his guard and started going to work with his vicious ground and pound. But Werdum's legs were excellent, he used them to to clamp Fedor's head and was able to get the traingle hold. At the same time he had one of Fedors arms. Fedor tried to escape but it was too deep. The armbar was there to stay. Fedor had no choice but to tap out.

Werdum's Jiu-Jitsu was excellent. And as much as I wanted Fedor to win, I have to say respect for Werdum, he was the better man on the night. It just goes to show that in MMA, anything can happen, no fight is a certain win, specially at this level.

I'm sure Fedor will be back, possibly for a rematch with Werdum. But for now, Werdum has just shocked the MMA world by beating arguably the best MMA fighter in the world. Werdum will either give Fedor a rematch, or fight Alistair Overeem for the StrikeForce title.
