    damn the interviewer can't even speak proper german, and fedor is difficult to interview he never responds in sentences, just one or two words and always religional phrases

    I liked the one minute pause and the intense stare Fedor gave the interpretor when asked about M-1 and the UFC....Seemed like he was pissed off. But it would appear the translator made a right hash of what Fedor actually said let alone interpreting the questions properly. Fedor is a man of few words. He lets his fists do the talking. I like that.

    i think fedor was just trying to say the right thing:deal it's a difficult question, he is a part owner of m1 and it would be pretty bad to badmouth them or to praise too much the ufc. yeah but imo fedor could give at least a proper response. this is also respect how you talk to people and how you answer, and you can see that fedor gives a ****

    I speak Russian. That is the only part I am referring to.

    The translator guy sucked, in fact, somehow German guy asked one question(about eye staring) translator asked it wrong but Fedor caught on to what the interviewing really wanted to know and answered the right question.

    Don't think Fedor speaks German... maybe just put 2 n 2 together.

    Ok. I was more referring to the translator though. As he seemed to be getting it wrong from what i could tell. My Russian isn't too strong from School any more mind you... :D
