Some of you have already elected Fedor as the president of your own little microchasmatic xenoverses so this news should be like a mini victory for your campaign to make Fedor supreme leader of the entire omniverse. Its time to turn off CNN and FOXNews and MSNBC and stop obsessing over contracting necrotizing fasciitis or the 4700 asteroids threatening to obliterate the planet Earth to its final demise. Instead live in the now, relax and break out your knock off Fedor sweater. Tie that sweater to a flag pole in your front yard and salute it in honor of the newly elected president of the Russian MMA Union. 

Thanks to a report on MixFight.RU we can tell you that an MMA union was formed in Russia yesterday and via a unanimous vote Fedor Emelianenko was elected president of this newly formed Russian MMA union. According to the report over 100 'dignitaries' representing over 52 regions were in attendance for the formation of this union. The union is a part of the newly formed IAMMA. Here's a few pictures taken by MixFight.RU from this historic event, unfortunately who ever was in charge of Fedor's wardrobe failed miserably as the symbolic sweater of power is nowhere to be seen. Despite there being no sweater he does manage to pull off the suit jacket look like a natural.

Also announced at this meeting, a World Cup of MMA to be held November 1 in St. Petersburg Russia with fighters from over 50 countries. If you can read Russian like our Bauzen, or just feel like playing around with Google Translate, you can check out the rest of the article on MixFight.RU. All hail President Fedor-first the Russian MMA Union, next step the Omniverse. [source]

We need a President for our bogus MMA Org, let's throw Fedor up there. You know, because he LOVES public speaking so much.

I love the "Russian MMA Union" name, pretty sure they threw "Union" in there just to throw a jab at Zuffa. And what's the difference between the Russian MMA and Union and M1? nothing? That's what I figured.

This Union is not commercial it should help to build amateur mma. I´d rather compare it with Shooto organisation of Japan.

I really hope they will do better than JMMA. Those guys give asian fighters bad reputation.

Fedor was chosen because he's been an active guy on making MMA big in his country and always helped a lot of people in Sambo. Also he's a superstar in Russia. This Union is a great thing that might help the sport a lot there, maybe something comes later on too.

BTW you guys forgot this project is affiliated with FILA.

For those who don't know...

FILA is a member of the International Olympic Committee, WADA, Sportaccord & the ASIOF."

FILA is the body responsible for supervising Olympic wrestling, and so competitions for freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling take place every Summer Olympiad."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Federation_of_Associated_Wrestling_Styles

FILA has already developed Olympic-type rule-sets and sanctioned Amateur MMA in 20 Countries around the world. There were FILA dignitaries from 20 countries and Fedor and Vadim's press conference.

FILA sanctioned Amateur MMA (International Olympic Committee member) http://www.fila-official.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=477&Itemid=100218&lang=en

Ask Daniel Cormier, Matt Lindland, Dan Henderson, Kurt Angle and Rulon Gardner who these guys are. :)

Yeah bro thank you for sparing my time to explain this shit...
Im so down with the fact that FILA got into this, i feel like MMA is one step away from becoming an olympic discipline.
