Some of you have already elected Fedor as the president of your own little microchasmatic xenoverses so this news should be like a mini victory for your campaign to make Fedor supreme leader of the entire omniverse. Its time to turn off CNN and FOXNews and MSNBC and stop obsessing over contracting necrotizing fasciitis or the 4700 asteroids threatening to obliterate the planet Earth to its final demise. Instead live in the now, relax and break out your knock off Fedor sweater. Tie that sweater to a flag pole in your front yard and salute it in honor of the newly elected president of the Russian MMA Union.  Thanks to a report on MixFight.RU we can tell you that an MMA union was formed in Russia yesterday and via a unanimous vote Fedor Emelianenko was elected president of this newly formed Russian MMA union. According to the report over 100 'dignitaries' representing over 52 regions were in attendance for the formation of this union. The union is a part of the newly formed IAMMA. Here's a few pictures taken by MixFight.RU from this historic event, unfortunately who ever was in charge of Fedor's wardrobe failed miserably as the symbolic sweater of power is nowhere to be seen. Despite there being no sweater he does manage to pull off the suit jacket look like a natural. Also announced at this meeting, a World Cup of MMA to be held November 1 in St. Petersburg Russia with fighters from over 50 countries. If you can read Russian like our Bauzen, or just feel like playing around with Google Translate, you can check out the rest of the article on MixFight.RU. All hail President Fedor-first the Russian MMA Union, next step the Omniverse. [source]

This is a revised version of a post that appeared in Bloody Elbow last year. Every 3rd Monday of February we here in the United States of America celebrate Presidents’ Day to honor those that have occupied the highest office in the land. To mark this day I thought it would be fitting to rank the Presidents. Not by their achievements in office, nor by any great leadership they may have shown in troubled times, but instead by their ability to kick ass. An ability that was not uncommon amongst our former heads of state, many of whom were quit adept in the art of unarmed combat. For example, our 38th president, Gerald R. Ford, was not only a tremendous athlete who excelled in football at the University of Michigan, but he also excelled in boxing, coaching it first at Yale and then in the Navy during his service in the second World War. Dwight Eisenhower too was a standout in football, during a time when many wanted to ban the sport for its brutality, and also boxed and wrestled, with his instructor at West Point being none other than former American Heavyweight Champion and master catch-as-catch-can wrestler Tom Jenkins. Amongst our Commander-in-Chiefs wrestling has easily been the most popular martial art. James Garfield, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Chester Arthur were all ardent wrestlers. Sometimes so much so that it would interfere with their political lives: Pierce wrestled in the New Hampshire House of Representatives building while he was the house speaker, and Grant famously apologized to a surrendering General Robert E. Lee at Appomatox for the mess at his campsite, a result of Grant and "some of the boys" having a wrestling match the previous night. Some of our former Presidents didn’t merely practice the craft, but actually excelled in it. Zachary Taylor was well known for his "scuffling" abilities amongst the Illinois Volunteers during the Black Hawk uprising, while William Taft was a fourth generation wrestler under the collar and elbow style, and was famed for his mastery of the "flying mare". "Big Bill", as the 225 lb. William was known during his youth, would twice win the intramural heavyweight championships at Yale. Not all though were of Taylor’s or Taft’s level: Calvin Coolidge was described by his father as being only "tolerable good" until age 14 when he quit, focusing instead on "duding around and daydreaming about being a big-city lawyer". Amongst all these fighting Presidents three clearly stand above their peers and are truly worthy of consideration as being the toughest men to hold the office of Commander-in-Chief. 3. George Washington Originally today’s Holiday was simply known as Washington’s Day in honor of our very fist president George Washington whose birthday in fact falls on February 22nd. All through his life Washington was renown for his toughness and bravery, almost to the point of foolhardiness. "I heard the bullets whistle and, believe me, there is something charming to the sound of bullets" was how he described his feelings on the battlefield in a letter to his bother. He was a man that led from the front and gave himself no advantage or luxury accorded by his position or rank as Commander of the Continental Army, suffering the same hardships as the men that served beneath him. He was also one hell of a wrestler. As a youth Washington attended Rev. Maury's Academy at Fredericksburg, Virginia, a finishing school which had a well deserved reputation as a fine place to learn how to grapple. Having no experience with the sport when he first arrived at age 15, young Washington found himself bullied by the sons of the widow he boarded with. Quickly he set himself to learning all he could of "collar-and-elbow" and soon had the "satisfaction of throwing the widow's sons with ease, grace, and celerity." [EN1] By age 18 Washington's became renown as the best "tosser" in Northern Virginia, and would find himself challenged by the wresting champion of Virginia. On a Saturday the two faced off in a collar-and-elbow contest. Washington would prove victorious, gaining the title of champion of the Colony, with his defeated opponent describing the match thus: "After a short, fierce struggle, I felt myself grasped and hurled upon the ground with a jar that shook the marrow in my bones." [EN2] Washington’s skills remained with him as he grew older, as evident by the stories told. "On one occasion, when he was Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary forces at Boston" he broke up a fight between two soldiers of the colonies by "seizing them one after another by the collar, tossed them into separate, writhing heaps, hurling them in all directions as if they had been ten-pins." In late 1776 at the age of 46 (and in the midst of waging war against the English crown), he demonstrated his old champion caliber abilities when he accepted a challenge from seven members of the Massachusetts Volunteer Guard, agreeing to face each of them in succession. "The Commander of the Continental Armies summoned enough of his old form to deal flying mares to seven saucy volunteers from Massachusetts." [EN3] 2. Theodore Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt grew up a sickly and asthmatic child, who took up rigorous exercise to combat his numerous ailments. One of the first sports he studied. with his father’s hearty encouragement, was boxing and his first boxing-master was an ex-prize-fighter named John Long. Long grew confident enough in the young Roosevelt’s progress that eventually he entered him into a lightweight tournament with the prize being a pewter mug. To everyone’s surprise, including Roosevelt’s, he won the tournament and the trophy. [EN4] Teddy would go on to box while at Yale, although he never won any championships while there, and would continue with his pugilistic practices until a sparring session detached his retina and almost left him blind while Governor of New York, forcing him to focus solely on grappling for the remainder of his years. Roosevelt had begun wrestling at a young age as well, and even competed in it at Harvard, reaching the finals in a championship tournament one year under the catch-catch-can rules. Roosevelt continued wrestling late into life, describing in his autobiography how, while serving as the Governor of New York, he had a wrestling mat purchased by the state Comptroller so that the Middleweight Champion of America could stop by three or four afternoons a week to grapple with him. The final martial art he took up was Judo, which he learned from a visiting Yamashita Yoshiaki while Roosevelt was serving as President. [EN5] He described his White House practices in the exotic Japanese fighting style in letters he wrote to his son Kermit: I am wrestling with two Japanese wrestlers three times a week. I am not the age or the build one would think to be whirled lightly over an opponent's head and batted down on a mattress without damage. But they are so skilful that I have not been hurt at all. My throat is a little sore, because once when one of them had a strangle hold I also got hold of his windpipe and thought I could perhaps choke him off before he could choke me. However, he got ahead. [EN6] For two years, Roosevelt studied Kodokan Judo with Yamashita, eventually attaining the rank of 3rd degree brown belt and the title of most well rounded of all the fighting presidents. 1. Abraham Lincoln There can be little doubt that there was no tougher President than Abraham Lincoln. While his gaunt and lanky appearance fooled many, the 6’4" 214 lb man who would go down as perhaps our nation’s greatest leader, was a splendid athlete, whose strength was legendary in the Kentucky and Illinois backwoods. Often he was described as a "Hercules", a "Samson". or simply the "strongest man I ever knew" and the testimony of many reinforces that impression. Numerous stories exist detailing how "He could strike with a maul a heavier blow - could sink an axe deeper into wood than any man I ever saw", how his strength was so great that "he was equal to three men, having on a certain occasion carried a load of six hundred pounds", or how on another occasion "he walked away with a pair of logs which three robust men were skeptical of their ability to carry. " [EN7] One particularly incident at the Old Mill in Salem is worth repeating, where according to William Herndon: "By an arrangement of ropes and straps, harnessed about his hips, he was enabled one day at the mill to astonish a crowd of village celebrities by lifting a box of stones weighing near a thousand pounds." Before one discards this tale outright, others describe they witnessed Lincoln "lift betwen 1000 and 1300 lbs of rock waid in a Boxx ..." and still others reported that they saw him "in the old mill on the river bank to lift a box of stones weighing from one thousand to twelve hundred pounds." [EN8] Besides his prodigious strength, Lincoln was a phenomenal wrestler in both American collar-and-elbow (which included ground grappling unlike the version practiced in the old country) and the brutal backwoods catch style of rough-and-ready, a skill he aptly demonstrated at age 19 when he defended his stepbrother John Johnston's river barge from highjackers by throwing the seven thugs overboard in a wild skirmish. Soon after he tangled with the king of the creole roughnecks in New Orleans, using a hammerlock to get his opponent to apologize for insulting him. He would also break up a bare-knuckle fight between Johnston and William Grigsby, throwing Grigsby out of the center of the ring and challenging the enraged crowd that "if any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns." No one took him up on the offer. [EN9] Back home in Coles Country Illinois in 1830, the now 21 year-old Lincoln encountered Daniel Needham, the self proclaimed "best man in the county" . Abe would win the match in two straight falls, but his opponent, his pride hurt, then challenged him to a "rough-and-tumble" fight. "Needham", drawled Lincoln, "are you satisfied that I can throw you? If you are not, and must be convinced through a thrashing, I will do that, too, for your sake." Needham wisely shook hands and made his peace with Lincoln who was now proclaimed the wrestling champion of his county and soon the whole of Southern Illinois and Northern Kentucky. [EN10] In 1831 Lincoln would engage in his most celebrated wrestling match against the local leader of the Clary Grove boys, a group of bullies who terrorized the residences of New Salem, named Jack Armstrong and who was described by Daniel Green Burner as being "considered the best man in all this country for a scuffle" and by Lincoln himself as being as "strong as a Russian bear". After a brief skirmish Lincoln took "the great bully by the throat and shook him like a rag…" before slamming him to the ground and rendering him unconscious. [EN11] While serving as a militia officer in the Sangamon Country Volunteers during the Black Hawk War, Mr. Lincoln took a "prominent part" in wrestling matches. One fellow soldier recalled that "Very few men in the army could successfully complete with Mr. Lincoln, either in wrestling or swimming; he well understood both arts." ." Others testified that "His Specialty was Side holds; he threw down all men." And that Lincoln would often be found "wrestling for the Company against every Bully Brought up". [EN12] Lincoln quarreled not only with outside companies, but sometime his own as well, according to his longtime friend William G. Green. When his men threatened to kill an old Indian who stumbled into their camp, Captain Lincoln blocked the soldiers' path and stated that any who wished to kill their visitor had best "choose your weapon." Again, no one took him up on his offer. [EN13] Lincoln found much success while wrestling during the War, and after disposing of seven opponents he found himself one win away from the regimental championship. Lincoln’s opponent for the title would be Private Nathan Dow Thompson, a fellow soldier from his home state and who was well known as the champion of Northern Illinois. The two men clashed, and after taking a respite since neither man had gained the advantage, Lincoln remarked that Thompson was "the most powerful man I ever had hold of." Upon resuming the match Lincoln would finally taste defeat as Thompson would throw him twice. [EN14] It was a remarkable feat by Thompson, for while Lincoln is thought to have competed in some 300 wrestling matches during his life, according to Bob Dellinger, director emeritus of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Okla. "we can only find one recorded defeat of Lincoln in 12 years", Lincoln would proudly declare himself the second best wrestler in Illinois, behind only Thompson, for years to come. And Tyler Durden. Lincoln would kick your ass. ENDNOTES EN 1: From Milos to Londos by Nat Fliescher (Ring Magazine, 1936) EN 2: ibid. EN 3: Charles Wilson detailed it in his book, The Magnificent Scuttlers (Brattleboro: Stephen Greene Press, 1959) EN 4: Roosevelt describes with some detail his interest and experiences in combat sports in Chapter 2: The Vigors of Life of his autobiography, Theodore Roosevelt - An Autobiograph (The MacMillan Company 1913) EN 5: Yamashita Yoshiaki was one of the "Four Guardians of the Kodokan", and an important figure in the development and rise of Kodokan Judo.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight Jacob Volkmann has once again found himself in hot water after calling out President Barack Obama in his post-fight victory speech at UFC 141: "Lesnar vs. Overeem" this past weekend (Dec., 30, 2011). In his interview with Joe Rogan after defeating Efrain Escudero, Volkmann, in a failed attempt at humor, said that President Obama was in need of a "glassectomy." When asked to clarify his statement, he replied: "A glassectomy is when you cut your belly button out and put a piece of glass in there so when you have your head up your butt you can see where you're going." The joke fell on deaf ears with the audience, but apparently, Volkmann's full time employer, The White Bear School District in Minnesota, heard loud and clear and quickly put the rising UFC lightweight on administrative leave. This from his official twitter account: "Was put on administrative leave from coaching white bear lake high school wrestling for my joke. Unethical!" When asked by CBSLocal.com the motives behind calling out President Obama, he said: "I'm doing it for a couple reasons. To get my name out there, and I'm trying to get a message across. I don't think (President Obama) is ever going to pay attention." In a separate UFC 141 interview, Volkmann reiterated once again that he would love to hurt Obama inside the Octagon.: "My beef with Obama? It seems like all his decisions, he's not really thinking them through, he's basing his decisions, it seems like, on who is paying him the most money. They're not really logical, they're not good policies. Like making a home affordable plan, the health care plan he's got, it's like, 'Where'd you come up with that? Were you even thinking when you wrote it?' I would for sure take him down and submit him. I would try to make it a very painful submission though. Try and do like a Kimura or an armbar, try and rip it." This isn't the first time that the three-time NCAA All American has called out the "leader of the free world." In January of 2011 after his win over Antonio McKee, Volkmann told MMAFighting.com that he wanted to fight Obama inside the Octagon next due to his displeasure with the President's health policies: "He's not too bright, someone's got to knock some sense into that idiot." His challenge was good enough to earn a visit from The Secret Service, who showed up question him for his post-fight comments. Though no punishment was handed down to him at the time, his second go around didn't go so well as he now finds himself without a job as an assistant wrestling coach with White Bear High School. What do you say, Maniacs, is it high time that Volkmann find a different way of getting his name out there? Perhaps, one that doesn't involve challenging the President of the United States every chance he gets?

Immediately following his decision loss to Michael Bisping at the Ultimate Fighter Finale, UFC President Dana White was positive that it would be Jason Miller's final fight in the UFC. The President went so far as to call it the most one-sided fight in UFC history. When the ratings for the finale were released, fans were hopeful that White would change his mind and give Mayhem another shot in the promotion. Miller came off as an extremely likable coach during the season, connecting with his fighters and giving them great advice in the cage. In the days following the event, the "Mayhem Monkeys" showed their support for Miller by continuously tweeting the President, pleading their case to give Miller another shot in the UFC. White, as he does, fielded the comments and used them in his decision regarding Miller. After having a couple days to mull over his initial comments, the UFC President is still unsure of Mayhem's future. Following the UFC on Fox press conference on Wednesday, members of the media spoke with White to see if he's decided to give Miller another shot in the octagon. The President had some choice words regarding Miller saying "It was bad. To be honest, and my Twitter's been blowing up with Mayhem fans blasting me, but facts are facts: It was the worst standup I've ever seen in my life. I don't know if I've ever seen standup that bad." Media members asked if it was just a case of ring rust, a valid question as Miller had not been in a ring or cage in 14 months since defeating Kazushi Sakuraba at Dream 16. White wouldn't accept that as an excuse for Miller's performance stating, I don't even know what to call it. I've seen guys with some ring rust. Some of the punches that were thrown by Mayhem Miller in this fight, you can go to a girls Tae Bo class and see better form in standup. It was embarrassing." Dana White ended the discussion with some choice words saying, "The guy's been in the business over 10 years. It looked like it was his first fight ever. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen."

UFC President Dana White was ranked by readers as number 38 in the AskMen.com 'Top 49 Men' poll for 2011. Here's why: Just when we thought the UFC couldn’t get any bigger, Dana White had to go ahead and prove us all wrong -- again. In what White himself deemed the biggest moment of his career, the charismatic president helped to legalize MMA in Toronto, which helped set the stage for UFC 129 at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, an event that drew 55,000 fans and broke ratings records in what White insists is the UFC’s No. 1 television market on the planet. As if that wasn’t enough, White also inked a major broadcasting deal with FOX, which will help ensure that the UFC gets plenty of airtime on the network’s various subsidiary channels for years to come. White might never actually step into the ring himself, but, boy, does he know how to win. White's reaction on making the Top 49 for 2011, after the jump. "I’m honored for even being thought of for a 3rd time, especially for the fact that readers have voted for this. I am just completely honored." The Zuffa boss debuted on the annual list at number 10 in 2009, before tumbling down the rankings to number 32 for 2010. This year he drops a few spots but still holds steady at number 38. Any Maniacs out there think he should be ranked lower -- or higher? To see the rest of the Top 49 for 2011 click here.

Ken Hershman has stepped down from his position as executive vice president and general manager of Showtime's sports and events programming, reportedly in favor of a position at rival premium-cable outlet HBO. Hershman, has long been considered a supporter of MMA and will apparently replace Ross Greenburg, who recently stepped down from his role as president of HBO Sports and was not necessarily a believer in the sport. Despite his past support of MMA, Hershman and UFC president Dana White have often failed to see eye-to-eye, and the two have often traded verbal barbs in the media.
