More worrisome is he short comment on Aleks.

Fedor is being respectful about his brother's privacy.

Fedor's name means "Gift of God". I don't think anyone has to worry about Fedor's faith effecting him in a negative way. Case in point - Tim Sylvia.

Thanks for the post.

Fedor is a great guy.

And he could still be an Agnostic....

Maybe he just likes the symbols of the Russian Orthodox Church...

Ummm....did you bother reading the first post? You know the one that actually had the interview. Here you go in case you forgot what he said.

Q: After the fight there was a zoomed in shot of your trainer Vladimir Voronov, put a cross on your body. It appeared not too long ago. Are you a man of faith?

- A: Yes, I'm a man of faith, and from not too long ago my life has changed, I will try to live by God's commandments...

Q: A first step of becoming a church going person, is usually taken after some kind of distress: heavy disease, loss of a close person, other tragic events... What was the reason for you to make that decision?

- A: After I met father Andrey, all my doubts disappeared... After spending some time near this man, I understood, that this is the only right way; and through Father Andrey, God led me to people, who helped me realize, how I lived and how I should be living in the future.

Interesting he said he was flying to the US for a press conference and to talk with Affliction. Maybe his hand MIGHT heal?!

Any hope?

If i said that i believe Fedor has an invisible cyclops in the ring with him when he fights, would you be able to explain why it's so silly to believe that?

Yes. Because there is no evidence to support your claim. Now, you may not think the evidence supporting certain faiths is compelling enough to believe it and that would be fine but to claim it's the same as some nonsense you pull out of your ass is simply ignorant.
