Yes. You read that headline right. Fedor Emelianenko and Brock Lesnar, two of MMA’s biggest stars, also happen to be two of the sporting world’s biggest stars. This according to Businessweek’s annual Power 100 Athletes List.
Fedor And Lesnar Are Two Of The Most Powerful People In Sports. Hi Haters.
↵Fedor won the heavyweight battle coming in at number 82, while Lesnar snuck into the list at number 96. “The Last Emperor” not only beat out Brock, but came in ahead of such power players as Danica Patrick and Floyd Mayweather.
↵Coming in at number one on the list is some guy named Tiger Woods. I’m assuming this list was created pre Cheetah/Infideldrick Woods. Either way, it’s great to see the sport of MMA represented in such a respected publication.
↵Congrats fellas. Whether or not the attention you bring is positive (see Fedor) or negative (see Lesnar), we appreciate it all nonetheless.
