This was posted on Fedor's official website fedor.bel.ru yesterday but only in the Russian section so I thought I'd translate it.

Fedor Emelianenko will participate in Russian Combat Sambo Championships.

The Championships will take place on February 7th and 8th in sports complex "Peterburgskii" (St. Petersburg)

Bit of history, the first combat sambo championship in USSR took place in Leningrad(St. Petersburg) in 1939. 56 athletes participated in it. Now, there are Combat Sambo clubs and schools in 53 countries around the world.

This championship will gather top athletes from practically all regions of Russia. As far as St. Petersburg's team "Red Devil", besides Fedor it will be represented by: world Combat Sambo champion Dmitrii Samoilov, all Russian Combat Sambo champion Kirill Sidelnikov (both of these athletes are from Starii Oskol, Emelianenko's hometown), finalist of all Russia Combat Sambo championship Mihail Zayats, master of sport Andrei Lisitsin, candidate for master of sports Alexei Cherepovskii, and also Radmir Gabdullin.

Russian Championship - isn't the only competition that Fedor Emelianenko will participate in next two weeks. On the 15th of February in Moscow in sports complex "Luzhniki" President's Combat Sambo Cup will kick off.

Let us remind you that Russian Federation President's Combat Sambo Cup was established by head of the government Vladimir Putin on 20th of March of 2006. Russian Federation President's Combat Sambo Cup will be awarded to a team - winner of the yearly tournament organized by RosSport and Russian Sambo Federation with giving away his smaller copy.
