Fedor Emelianenko interview with Russia today (video)

Fedor Emelianenko spoke to Russia today about former opponents, the sport in general and how his training works. He also touches on his recent acting, and says it probably isn't for him, which is reassuring.

Fedor also mentions that his after fight ritual includes a prayer service, shopping and then getting home as quickly as he can. Fedor recently found religion, and his spiritual adviser, sporting a long beard, can often be seen in pictures of him training or celebrating with him after his fights.

The interview itself is fairly generic except for some hilarious translating. I won't spoil the surprise, but there are some interesting opponents Fedor talks about that I haven't heard of. He also wears one of his trademark sweaters, enjoy!
