Fedor Emelianenko says getting Married before Brett Rogers fight: "Not a issue"  | read this item

Fedor Emelianenko tells MMAFanhouse.com that despite getting married only a month before his fight against Brett Rogers he is focused and is not worried about his marriage becoming a distraction.

“I don’t think my marriage will affect anything in any way,” Fedor told reporters Monday on a media call five days before his CBS main event fight against undefeated Brett Rogers.

“I doubt it. He’s been a fighter for a long time,” said Rogers, when asked if Fedor’s marriage is a sign he might be taking the fight lightly. “As far as I’m concerned, this is not his first marriage. He’s kind of a been there, done that kind of dude with that situation.”

Mauricio Shogun Rua got married before his fight against Forrest Griffin at UFC 76, that did not turn out well for the former PRIDE Grand Prix champion. But, he also opened a Gym in L.A and was also fighting through a knee injury as well.

No, Fedor did not wear the “Lucky” Sweater at his wedding, but we don’t know about the Honey Moon.
