THE LA TIMES posted a story today by reporter Dan Arrit
looking at the amazing crowd reception received by Russian heavyweight bad ass
at the Affliction:Banned MMA weigh-ins yesterday. To see a video of the
weigh-ins, CLICK HERE .
The story, which can be read in its entirety HERE , was written in the wake of the enormous fan response that
Fedor was greeted with when he appeared on stage yesterday for the
formal weigh-ins prior to the fight tonight at the Honda Center
in Anaheim, California. Arrit reports: Emelianenko,
the former PRIDE Fighting Championships heavyweight champion, was clearly the
most popular fighter of the 20 who weighed in for Affliction's inaugural event,
Banned. The card is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. today and conclude with
Emelianenko's five-round main event against Tim Sylvia, a former heavyweight
champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
