Fedor Knocks Out A Movie Stuntman

It looks like some funny shit happened at the set of  Fedor Emelianenko's first movie - "The Salamander Key".
In this video interview Fedor tells the story and I took my time to translate it for you, you MMA weirdos. Next time learn Russian just like I learned English, you punks. Transcription is below the video:

Fedor:
You know, I actually liked acting in a movie - it was interesting, but I feel that at this stage I should not be doing this because I am a sportsman and I have to compete. 

Fedor:
There was a curious and not very pleasant situation involving me and a stuntman. The scene didn't go the way we rehearsed it.

Journaist:
What happened?
Fedor (smiles):
He suffered a light knockout.

Fedor:
I wish that people started thinking a little bit more and always tried to do good things, it doesn't matter whether in a movie or in real life.

Fedor Emelianenko's Movie Is Finally Out - 'The Salamander Key' (previously titled "The Fifth Execution")

The MMA community has been waiting for Fedor's first feature movie to come out for quite some time. Two years or so, if I'm not mistaken.
Don't know what took the movie crew so long to release the thing but it's great news that the film is finally going to see the day light with its Russian  premiere on the 24-th of March.

The name of the movie has been chaged from "The Fifth Execution" to "The Salamander Key". I like the new title better - makes things sound more mysterious and catchy. And this is a good thing even for an action movie - it's good to see they have dumped the dudebro approach, even though no body was going to complain should they've left the old title anyway.

Just saw the new trailer (the old one was a 30-minutes long excerpt on YouTube) and it looked promising.
You can't go wrong with names like Rutger Hauer & Michael Madsen. The film is going to deliver lots of violence, firearm figths and explosions, all of this combined with a touch of female nudity. Sounds good enough to me. I'm gonna watch it.
And you know what, I think The Salamander key is a must-watch movie for every MMA fan. No body expects great acting from Fedor but hey, no body expects great acting from the whole cast anyway. Action movies are not meant to please the intellectual elite of the population, are they? All we want to see is the greatest MMA fighter of all time kick some ass in a movie. So go see the film, you chumps.

MMA is on a different level now: Jon 'Bones' Jones Takes The UFC LHW Title as Mauricio Shogun Rua Taps To Strkes + Pride FC is Officially Dead.

UFC 128 was one of the MMA events that I anticipated with great interest. And it delivered big time. Don't have the time and the will to do a thorough review of the whole card, so let's focus on the main event - Rua vs Jones.

Mauricio Shogun Rua

Wow! Talk about turning the haters into believers. I was so *NOT* sold on Jon Jones before this fight. All that pre-fight Bones hype seemed to be without coverage to me. I knew that Jones had a ton of potential with his huge reach, his unorthodox style and everything but I never even suggested that he could be that dominant against a fierce fighter and an MMA legend like Mauricio Shogun Rua.
From the very beginning to the very end of the fight this lanky 23-yers-old kid was using Shogun for his toy. He totally outgamed the Muai Thai expert in the stand-up and successfully countered every BJJ attempt as well.
It was one of those ridiculously one-sided fights where you rub your eyes in disbelief and just wonder wtf is going on.

Jon Bones Jones

Jesus fucking Christ... Shogun looked BAD during the whole fight. He was slow as fuck and so fucking out of shape! He gassed in the first and from then on the question no longer was "if" he'd get smashed by Jones but "when" exactly it would happen. It happened in the third as Shogun was fighting for his life underneath Jones, getting pummeled with huge elbows. He managed to scramble out but on his way up he received a brutal knee to the liver. A short second later, while Shogun was backign up, Jones landed a left hook to the liver and as Shogun was collapsing down in pain, a fast and furious knee to the face shattered any hopes forcing Herb Dean stop the fight while Rua was tapping out.
This shit was surreal to watch.
Shogun tapped to strikes and it was just as bad as the shit Brock lesnar pulled when Velasques smashed his head in.

With Fedor Emelianenko losing two times in a row and sporting a 1:2 record in Strikeforce, with Mirko CroCop getting his ass KO-ed on a regular basis, with Wanderlei Silva's less than impresive performances in the UFC, Mauricio Shogun Rua was the last Pride FC fighter standing.
Him losing his UFC title tonight to Jon Jones means one thing: Pride FC is officially dead.
I will have to deal with it.

Mirko Cro Cop Is Done

Mirko Filipovich CroCop

To Mirko Cro Cop: Mr. Filipovich, Sir, you are done.
Getting KO-ed by Brendan Schaub
is as bad as it can get.
It's over.
You know it, the fans know it, Dana White knows it.
I don't expect Dana to cut you any near soon - he's not a cash cow butcher but still... Just stop making an embarrassment out of yourself.
You are an inspiration to us all. Don't sell out the legend for money (you already have lots of it).
