Fedor Claims Responsibility for Cro-Cop’s Downfall
As mentioned the other day, there was a long article about Fedor Emelianenko that appeared on Esquire.com. This quote in particular jumped out at me,
“He has to regenerate psychologically. After my fight with him, he just broke down. In his soul, something just broke down, cracked…There are some psychological problems when you have all the time fight, fight, fight, without rest.”
If you look back at Cro Cop’s last couple of fights (two big UFC losses) you can definiely see that he was not the same fighter as he was pre-Fedor fight. However, he did smash Wanderlei Silva and Josh Barnett on his way to winning the Pride Grand Prix title post-Fedor fight. So I’m not sure if I buy what Fedor is selling 100%.

Fedor is either on crack or has got an ego and intellect on par with Britney Spears. Mirko won the OWGP after his loss to tubby, so what on God’s green earth is he talking about??
He should stay in M1, fighting cans and keeping his mouth shut.
