Russian heavyweight icon Fedor Emelianenko faces the prospect of completing his MMA journey without the company of the man who guided him through his career. Emelianenko (39-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) revealed via social media that his longtime coach Vladimir Voronov has passed away aged 55. With Voronov by his side, “The Last Emperor” developed into the most feared heavyweight in MMA as Emelianenko embarked on a near-decade-long undefeated run that ran from December 2000 to June 2010 and spanned his remarkable tenure with Japanese promotion PRIDE FC.
