Almost missed this was happening today, the event should kick off in roughly 3 hours from the timestamp of this post.

I was reading an article about the guy putting this show on. apparently its a huge backfire. the guy put on the fedor fight to try and get putin to attend... trying to get into his political circle... well, putin isn't coming. lol.

don't have full results but Minakov armbarred graham in about a minute. and fedor barely edged out Maldonado. one judge scored it a draw. other 2 judges 29-28 fedor. sounded like a fun match.

Fedor probably would've lost if the fight wasn't in Russia. Got knocked down and took a lot of hits but managed to survive 1st round since ref just wouldn't end it

that's what im gathering as well. not a good sign if he was ever serious about a come back.

Fedor was KTFO at least twice in the first round. When he got up and literally turned his back to Fabio to run away he could barely stay up on his feet.

When Fabio came out for the second round he was timid and threw next to nothing. How much you bet someone went over to his corner and either threatened him or offered him more money to take it easy?

Just saw the highlights on Facebook and man, Fedor got FUCKED UP in the first round. I don't know how he survived let alone come back to win, albeit a controversial decision (not to mention possible behind the scenes shenanigans).

Judging by this fight alone, I don't want to see Fedor get killed by a top 10 HW in the UFC, let alone a subpar one. On the other hand, why make a comeback if you're not going up against the top?

We'll just have to wait and see what happens from here on out.
