Stories from the Road: Fedor Emelianenko Bellator290 via yay_yee
titleholder’s eyes. I had previously asked Rogers what he expected at that moment; at first, he was dismissive. Then reality, he said, was marked by the stark nothingness he described. Emelianenko’s gaze may as well have been the cold void of space. No soul in there, Rogers told himself.
During my first day there, the hotel manager lent me a short-print-run book, which the city itself had produced to celebrate Fedor’s 30th birthday. She also discovered that I did not have my Russian registration. This resulted in a visit to the local authorities, who were only placated by the fact that I was there for Fedor, a $100 cash fine and promise of a CD—they did not have email—with landscapes from my country.
Fedor always cared more about his friends than any adoration or attention he received from others. His childhood friends, Denis and Slava, went with him anywhere he would go, and being around them and enjoying his career together was of utmost importance. They still acted like school kids around each other, whether it be “noogies” or flicking and tapping each other when the other wasn’t paying attention, including sack flicks. An array of childhood pranks. Other MMA fighters were not immune.
