february 16, 2008
This time the tournament was visited by approximately 100 athletes from 19 countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Germany, Georgia, Spain, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, France, Czechia, Russia.
This time around Russia proved again it deserves to belong to the elite in sambo.
Fedor will be fighting Andrei Arlovski in October at Affliction II.
July 31, 2008 INTERVIEW to Vadim Finkelstein(M-1 President): “If UFC negotiate with us, the fight between Fedor and Randy can take place this year”.
So when will he (Aleksander) continue fighting?
-We do have some variants right now. Maybe he will take place in superfight at the next M-1 Challenge tournament in Korea or at one of the nearest Dream tournaments.
What can you say about the fight of Fedor Emelianenko?
-The fight was amazing, the speed, hit-and-run attack and the final. Fedor has exceeded all my expectations. I thought that this fight would continue about 3 or 5 minutes, that contestants will box and wrestle, Fedor would look for the possibility to move Tim to parterre and Tim gonna prevent this, but the reality came over all the expectations — Fedor had moved twice faster then Tim and wiped him off like a storm.
What importance does this victory have?
-This fight was very important for a few reasons. Finally American audience had a good look at Fedor, because before that a lot of people haven’t seen him and it made a lot of arguing about who is the best fighter in the world.
Fedor has finished this arguing. Dana White told a lot of ridiculous and offensive things about Fedor — and they occurred to be meaningless — his four-times UFC champion has been destroyed by Fedor for 36 seconds. Now nobody can tell that Fedor fights with weak contestants to whom were reconed a lot of very famous and strong fighters. We are trying to find the strongest cotestants for him because of Fedor’s level, for example our project “Fighting Fedor” should prove that a right to fight with Fedor should be deserved.
We have an information that the next Fedor’s fight gonna be with Andrey Arlovski, is it true?
-I think, that Arlovski is one of the most possible fighters along with Josh Barnett and Randy Couture.
By the way, Couture said that he is ready to fight with Fedor.
-I can tell you that if UFC will negotiate with us then this fight can happen this year maybe within the bounds of our joint tournament with UFC. We are ready to negotiate, the fighters are ready, everything is ready, the only deal is with UFC policy headed on their separation and singularity.
Dana White has told that Affliction will come out of MMA business and all the fighters will come back to him. What can you tell about it?
-Dana White is mistakenand he shouldn’t compare Affliction with IFL. Affliction и M-1 Global is maybe the most successful concern in MMA that could be imagined. Earlier I have told that Affliction invests much money in advertising and branding and we have a great experience in tournament organization and sportive potential of our athletes. That’s why this concern can have much more success than UFC which is the very first organization that was developing and populating MMA successfully for many years.
Several Affliction fighters received medical suspensions from the first event. They can be cleared by doctors to fight earlier but this could cause some issues for the next Affliction card scheduled for Oct 11th.
* Fedor Emelianenko (def. Tim Sylvia): Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a right-hand injury (can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor)
* Tim Sylvia (lost to Fedor Emelianenko): Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a left-elbow injury (can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor)
Fedor should be ok to fight against Andrei Arlovski at Affliction in October.

Star Challenge, Group-C, June 13th 2007
Game-4: fOrGG vs JulyZerg @ Fantasy
Group-C: TheRock, fOrGG, JulyZerg, TheMania
Star Challenege is the prelims league for ODT (which is the prelims for the next OSL season), some type of prelims always start taking place while the current season is played, those who lose it are going down to offline qualifiers (also prelims for ODT but tougher), its also the reason these games aren’t getting much attention from fans since its really not of the same importance as the current Starleague matches, but it *is* that important for the players 
TheMania beat July on Game1 with some very poor play from both players, it was too lame to watch, Mania played so bad he could not believe he actually won Anyway not all is lost, Star Challenege goes Dual style. TheRock beat fOrGG in Game2, and so Mania and TheRock met in Winner’s final to fight for the first ODT ticket of the group… Which TheRock got with a fast Carriers build.
Now JulyZerg and fOrGG, the two players who were favored to both win the group, have to face each other in Loser’s match, for the right to face Mania in the group finals.
Winner will play against TheMania for the last ODT ticket, loser falls to offline qualifiers.
fOrGG plays Terran, JulyZerg plays… zerg.
