Ivanov Outpoints Fedor | Bleacher Report

Here is an article that tells a lot about the situation

Granted Fedor lost in Judo, Sambo and Combat Sambo before numerous times, all greats lost in their sports (how else would they learn to be great?) But for the last 8 years Fedor outpointed or finished all his opponents, except last night (the same night Randy Couture lost to Brock Lesnar in UFC...)

Fedor was outpointed 8-5 by another World Combat Sambo Champion, world class fighter/wrestler with 14-0 MMA record Blagoi Ivanov, Bulgaria's best fighter.

Fedor defeated Ivanov several months ago in the finals of President's cup in St. Petersburg Russia. These tournaments are long GPs where one would have to win several times in one day to win the tournament. In Combat Sambo (aka Military Commando Sambo, where Fedor is a 4-time World Champion and Champion of Armed Forces) headbutts, groin attacks and other nasty moves are all 100% legal! Here is the first meeting of that sport's top ranked fighters:

Fedor-Blagoi 1

Last night, however, Ivanov executed a throw, and Fedor's later KD (knockdown) was not enough to make up the deficit.
