Russian MMA legend, Fedor Emelianenko, suffered a humiliating defeat by making the mistake of going into top level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist, Fabricio Werdum’s guard early in the fight leaving himself vulnerable to a triangle choke submission.
The fight was over faster than it took the fighters to walk to the Strikeforce cage. This was one of the most shocking upsets in Mixed Martial Arts history because Fedor Emelianenko was an almost invincible figure similar to Mike Tyson in his prime and he lost because of a simple mistake, he went carelessly into a BJJ black belts guard early in the fight while both fighters were dry making it easier for Werdum to slap on submissions from the guard position.
For many PRIDE MMA fans who’ve followed Fedor’s career they would have never expected the Last Emperor to get submitted so easily and so fast in the first round. Fedor’s loss tonight shook up the MMA world.
