Im reposting the same response I gave to the other literary-deficient poster who praised this corny read:
If you liked that article so much, I can recommend some really great harlequin romances from my grandma's basement. Seriously. The article had some information but nothing you couldn't really find here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_Emelianenko
All the new angles were nothing but tired cliches about the harsh Russian winter and being "a real man". Too much Doctor Zhivago in that fuckin claptrap. It's nice to know Fedor's mom was a nice lady but I didn't need three pages of emo with extra cheese to explain it to me.
