Fedor Emelianenko, the 49-year-old Russian heavyweight legend, is making headlines away from the cage by posting remarkable fitness numbers on his smartwatch activity tracker, with data shared publicly as of late May 2026.

Emelianenko, nicknamed The Last Emperor, has accumulated 165 points on his smartwatch since purchasing the device in March — a figure that puts his training volume in sharp perspective when you consider that completing a half-marathon earns just four points. The 36-5-0 veteran, standing six feet tall with a 74-inch reach, trains under FedorTeam and remains one of the most recognizable figures in MMA history.

For comparison, light heavyweight contender Vadim Nemkov currently sits at 72 points on the same platform. The gap between the two Russian fighters is notable: in late April, Nemkov had logged 60 points while Emelianenko had already surged to 90, suggesting Fedor has maintained a significantly higher activity rate throughout the spring.

Nemkov, 32, carries a 19-2-0 professional record and shares the same six-foot frame as his compatriot, though he holds a slight reach advantage at 76 inches (193 cm).

Why it matters

  • Emelianenko's activity total — more than double Nemkov's — signals an intensive training regimen for a fighter who turned 49 this year.
  • The half-marathon benchmark (four points) highlights just how high Fedor's cumulative output has been since March.
  • Both fighters are Russian and train in the same broader combat sports community, making the informal comparison a rare public window into their respective conditioning habits.
