PRE-PRIDE 26 INTERVIEWS

Fedor Emelianenko
Pride Fighting Championships:
So, what's new?
Emelianenko Fedor:
Nothing much.
Pride:
I know you would say that. What's the shortest answer you've ever given to a question?
Emelianenko:
Yes.
Pride:
What is your hobby?
Emelianenko:
Books, cars and houses. I like Russian classics.
Pride:
Are you married? Kids?
Emelianenko:
Married with one daughter.
Pride:
How old is she?
Emelianenko:
3 1/2 years old.
Pride:
They call you the "last Russian Emperor" in Japan. What do you think about that?
Emelianenko:
Well, that's only in Japan but I'm very happy about being called that.
Pride:
What do you think Mikhail's chances of victory over Quinton Jackson are?
Emelianenko:
If Mikhail uses everything he knows, he will win. But, if he can't use everything, there might be a problem.
Pride:
Do you train specifically for those punches on the ground? Or is it natural?
Emelianenko:
It's not natural. I do special training so I will be able to strike from the ground.
Pride:
I think you've got some natural talent for it, though.
Emelianenko:
Thanks.
Pride:
Who will win, Don Frye or Mark Coleman and why?
Emelianenko:
It's difficult to say. Both of them are great fighters. I'm really interested in this fight. I can't say who will definitely win but probably Mark Coleman because he is aggressive.
Pride:
How is your cardio?
Emelianenko:
No problem. You'll see it in the fight.
