Rampage fought like he knew Top Gun was coming up next on Paramount and didn't want it to start late.

After the fight it sounded like Emelianenko retired. If true, the 43-year old walks away as one of the greatest ever and a 39-6 record (with 1 no contest).
UPDATE: Apparently, it was lost in translation and Fedor is not retiring.
Just talking with Russian MMA members here.

Fedor wants to say he isn't retire the MMA. But it's was last fight in Japan. Sometimes translations not say exactly what he wants to say.
