Fedor Emelianenko To Run For Senate, May Retire From MMA

Middle Easy broke the news originally at close to 10:00pm Thursday night:

This is obviously huge news as Fedor is arguably the best fighter in the history of MMA and is, without a doubt, the greatest heavyweight in the history of the sport. If he isn’t going to sign with the UFC at the end of his Strikeforce contract than there really wouldn’t be much of a reason for his career to continue. The number of challenges left for him outside the world’s biggest promotion will be basically nonexistent.
