Quoteworthy:
"We didn't ask for medical assistance. There's just a severe swelling, and no real damage to the eye. Doctor put an ice pack on it, and now Fedor is resting. I think that the ring doctors made the right decision to stop the fight because Fedor couldn't see anything out of his right eye, and who knows what kind of consequences could hide behind the swelling. But fortunately, everything is alright. Fedor didn't lose this fight. He won the first round, survived the second, and if not that eye swelling, who knows what could have happened in the third. Fedor was ready to continue the fight."M-1 President Vadim Finkelchtein, like most of the Fedor army, is having trouble coming to terms with Emelianenko's loss to Antonio Silva at last Saturday night's (Feb. 12) Strikeforce event on Showtime. Finky won't dispute the decision to stop the fight but also won't concede "The Last Emperor's" defeat, despite a second round ass-whooping that garnered a 10-8 score from one cageside judge. Much of the talk in the aftermath of "Fedor vs. Silva" is centered around the Russian's desire to continue fighting. Is it time for Emelianenko to call it a career? Or do too many salaries depend on his 2011 fight campaign for him to stop?
