Fedor Emelianenko to meet Jaideep Singh at Rizin NYE show

[Wild]

Jaideep Singh was going to be Fedor Emelianenko's opponent on New Year's Eve. And then he wasn't. But really, it seems like Singh was the plan all along.

Rizin Fighting Federation made it official Thursday night, naming Singh as Emelianenko's opponent in a press conference in Japan. The two will meet in the main event of the two-day megacard Dec. 31 at Saitama Super Arena. The event marks former PRIDE boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara's return to MMA. It will air in the United States on Spike TV.

Singh, 28, is only 2-0 in MMA, though the Indian-Japanese fighter has a long background in kickboxing, where he sports a 40-10 record. Singh was the 2009 K-1 World Grand Prix champion.

fedor vs jds or the almighty king kah-een Velasquez would've been nice to see.

He's getting 1.5 million for one fight, and the word on the street (message boards) is that his contract with Rizin is only for one fight, so who knows what the future holds.

after this he's fighting two midgets dressed like putin and a sailor on a boat in the Ukraine,

It feels like lose-lose no matter the outcome.

Quick KO or submission- awesome, but it was against a guy who is 2-0 in MMA.

Drawn out war- awesome, but people will bitch and say he's lost it and that he should have finished him, and a lot sooner.

A loss- the Internet collapses and society plunges into a thousand year darkness that will ultimately bring about the extinction of mankind as we know it. And that would be bad

Blaf won't co-promote OR let either go fight him :-(
Lame...

 

[RaginCajun]

I'm a long time Fedor fan and would watch him fight a plastic bag in the wind but the way they draged out the final announcement was not smart. Especially because it is the same person they original had him fighting. The UFC must be loving this. I will still be watching the fight for Fedor but it would have been nice to also have be excited to see his opponent. One great fighter does not make a compelling fight for the fans. Only hardcore fans will be interested in it.

 

[EyeAmYuki]

They must've been working on someone else but it fell through.

I have street fight experience (tough as nails)...Professional fighters will fuck me up but who the fuck is Jaideep Singh?

Seriously....I need to start a promotion...I shall call it...

Splintygon

Thats the cage^^^

I'll make the rules as i see fit...Nobody argued before.

 

[Jonny Quest]

Joke fight. Another can on Fedors resume. As a fan, disappointed.

 

[Zeph]

Jaideep's a pretty legit kickboxer. On the feet he could hurt Fedor.

Jai Deep's a pretty legit kickboxer. On the feet he could hurt Fedor.

*ahem*

Fedor could be in Jaideep shit

I believe he will continue on with Rizin, He just came out stating the UFC enslaves fighters and that they do not respect fighters that was why he went to Asia for the big respect. Do you honestly see the UFC changing any of that? NO lol

 

[Ed_Stark]

How disappointing.

 

[Treadstone06]

Fedor's prime was before my time. That said, this doesn't help fans trying to defend him against the he only fights cans argument.

Would've loved to see him fight in one of the organizations that has the top talent.

fedor should be like -10000
