So the tax payers paid for some members of the FBI to meet Fedor and attend the fights.

The FBI questioned a Russian mixed martial artist, who was previously linked to President Donald Trump and his personal attorney Michael Cohen, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Manager Jerry Millen told London’s
Telegraph newspaper on Saturday that the FBI arrived at the Chicago hotel room of Fedor Emelianenko last week to speak with him privately.
Millen would not go into detail regarding the line of questions the FBI had for his client. “The FBI came to the hotel looking to talk to Fedor and they were very nice, came in to speak with Fedor for a few minutes, spoke to me, very cool guys, and that’s all I can really say about it. Again, the FBI did come to the hotel, they found us, knocked on the door,”
he said.
Millen noted the FBI’s visit to Emelianenko came as a surprise and neither Emelianenko nor Millen knew why the FBI wanted to speak with the fighter.
The agents were also reportedly in the audience at Emelianenko’s Bellator MMA heavyweight fight against Frank Mir on Saturday,
according to the Associated Press.
Forty-one-year-old Emelianenko has a longstanding history with both Trump and Putin. He was first connected to Trump back in 2008 when he became a member of Affliction Entertainment, a fight league Trump formerly had an ownership stake in. Affliction was first announced at a
press conference in June 2008 along with plans to premiere a 15-episode reality TV show following Emelianenko to be filmed in Russia.
