"Maybe it's time for me to leave. Maybe it's high time. Thank God for everything," said Fedor Emelianenko who is a strong Russian Orthodox Christian. "I've had a long sport life. Maybe it's God's will."

Fedor-Emelianenko-one-eye-shut.jpgAfter the second consecutive defeat yesterday Saturday night in New Jersey, the legendary MMA heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko will not be able to fight for at least 90 days and is talking about the possibility of retirement. The fight with Antonio Silva was stopped by the referees because of Fedor's injuries and inability to see out of one eye. Fedor is suspended from fighting for at least 90 days awaiting the CT scan of his head. Our congratulations go to Antonio Silva for bringing down Fedor, who looked unstoppable only a year ago, in his historic fight against the undefeated-back-then Brett Rogers. Our sympathies go to Fedor and his Russian and international fans.
