A strange rumor surfaced on Halloween that had many scrambling to find out if Fedor Emelianenko had contracted the swine flu. It all started when someone posted, “Hello everybody/ ?????? ????!! Unfortunately i think that i got the flu, i hope i will get better very soon,” the person wrote on what was presumed to be Fedor’s Twitter account.
We quickly got in touch with Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz, who confirmed to us that the rumors were indeed false.
“Fedor doesn’t have a Twitter account. His health is fine,” Afromowitz stated. “Must be somebody playing games.”
With his highly anticipated Strikeforce debut less than six days away, any “news” pertaining to Fedor will certainly generate a buzz.
