Fedor Emelianenko, MMA's Humble Icon, Featured in Exclusive Interview Inside January 2010 Issue of Knockout Magazine

    LAS VEGAS, NV, December 17, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The world's top ranked, pound for pound, MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko delivers knockout blow after knockout blow in an exclusive interview inside the January 2010 issue of Knockout Magazine on U.S. newsstands now.

Prior to one of the toughest fights of his professional MMA career, Fedor Emelianenko delivered a series of surprising direct answers to questions surrounding his stature in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and the likelihood of MMA fans ever seeing him in an UFC bout. According to Knockout Magazine's Editor in Chief Ron Kuchler, "We never expected such blunt answers from a man who chooses his words carefully and maintains a low profile."

The interview, conducted prior to the news of Brock Lesnar's health issues, unveiled Fedor's opinion of a healthy Lesnar as a competitor, "... Of course, it would be great if a fight between me and Brock Lesnar could ever happen, but I think there are a lot more qualified fighters." When asked whom he believes the next MMA star will be in America, Fedor says "I think my teammate Gegard Mousasi has a bright future in MMA in America."

Throughout the interview Fedor deflects the spotlight from himself, indicative of his humble persona, and redirects the focus to M-1 Global and his adoring public. The Knockout interview could very well be Fedor's most revealing interview to date. The January 2010 issue of KNOCKOUT Magazine featuring Fedor Emelianenko is on sale on U.S. newsstands now.
