Fedor Emelianenko to Battle Satoshi Ishii at DREAM New Year’s Eve Event

News

After ending a three fight losing streak, Fedor Emelianenko’s turnaround time is going to be fairly quick in comparison to the year plus waiting time he seemingly took between fights after he exited Pride. Japanese Judo icon and MMA prospect Satoshi Ishii will tangle with the legend DREAM’s New Years Eve card this year.

Vadim Finkelstein made the announcement at the press conference following Emelianenko’s unanimous decision victory over Jeff Monson this past weekend in Russia.

Satoshi Ishii is relatively new to MMA and is considered a prospect amongst heavyweights. He stands currently at 4-1-1 with wins over Jerome Le Banner and Ikuhisa Minowa as well as a draw against Paulo Filho.
