Fedor Vs. Silva Results: M-1 Global, Vadim Finkelstein Talk Fedor Emelianenko
- Finkelstein says “god willing” Fedor will fight again. Hinted the fight should’ve gone to a third round.
- Kogan says the atmosphere in the locker room after the fight was very quiet.
- Vadim does not think it was a “clear cut” loss. He believes we will see Fedor return to MMA.

- Jerry Millen is here, but not on stage.
