Fedor Emelianenko's skills may be eroding, but it's not helping that he seems
to enter the cage without any sort of gameplan. It's not just fans and
media noticing that Fedor simply employs a "go for broke" strategy, his
brother Aleks (on the right) is fed up with some of the folks around the former heavyweight king.
"They sat like two amoebas, and did not know what to say.
They were asked direct questions and would say, 'It is difficult to
say… we will see in the fight,' - what kind of a coach says that? Only
one who doesn't understand the sport," Aleksander Emelianeko told FightersOnly Magazine (http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=7384). "I just call them 'Stopwatch' and 'Towel'. That's as much use as they are, that's it."
Aleks thinks that Fedor has been in a stale training camp for years.
"[MMA] is constantly improving, but 'Stopwatch' and
'Towel' have not changed anything in the program - just frozen in time
and not been able to develop the base that Fedor already has," Aleks
said. " Fedor could train himself, he must take on it personally, to
rethink many of the training points to learn and develop. Suffer and
work! We'll talk with Fedor - whether he wants to change something in
his preparation. If he wants to, I will make the effort."
Fedor lost his third straight fight on Saturday night against Dan Henderson. He lost to Fabricio Werdum (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/Werdum-pulls-all-time-shocker-on-Fedor?urn=mma-251613)
by making an amateurish mistake and getting caught in a triangle choke.
Against 6-foot-4, 285 pound Antonio Silva, Fedor failed stay at a
distance and use his athletic advantage. He was taken down and couldn't get back to his feet (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/Strikeforce-heavyweight-GP-Fedor-loses-again-t?urn=mma-320604). Henderson has freakish punching power and Fedor decided to stand and trade with him (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/Fedor-loses-again-Henderson-8217-s-power-turns?urn=mma-wp5176).
If Fedor is to return to the cage, his support staff has to get two
things done. First, he needs to get down to the light heavyweight
division and secondly, it's time to employ a game plan against all
future opponents.
