I don't know whether this is an indication of how big the sport is today or if Putin happens to be a huge fan of the emelianenkos...(or maybe both ? )

He has done a lot for the sport in Russia, he gets to carry the torch. It's not indication of anything other than Fedor being recognized as someone who has done a good share for the sport.

MMA is very young in Russia though it's growing really fast. I doubt many people recognized who he was. Many of my friends just know that there's this Russia guy who dominates this new sport...

It would be great to see nog carry it (in brazil)

I'd like to see some of those London protesters grab the torch from him.

It'd be funnier if he threw an armbar on a protester.
