Fedor Emelianenko just won his first Strikeforce fight. He resisted Rogers’ wrestling and closing drills, and then landed a right that was straight out of a comic book. This guy is one of my heros. But how can he use these looping punches to win so many fights? You can’t argue with success, but you can question the immediate methods… ---

i thought his standup didnt look all that sharp. those were some big looping punches he threw, but the speed on them looked phenomanal. His chin is crazy those shots he ate on the ground would have put an elephant to sleep. it looked like he was rushing on the submission attemps and giving u p position trying too hard. These fights were making me wish i could watch more strikeforce cards some very exciting fights. If hendo signs with them i might have to pay for showtime
