Fedor Emelianenko has accumulated 165 points on his smartwatch since purchasing it in March, significantly outpacing Vadim Nemkov's 72 points. Emelianenko had 90 points by late April compared to Nemkov's 60.
Fedor Emelianenko is keeping pace in an unusual competition, racking up smartwatch activity points at a rate that is leaving fellow Russian fighter Vadim Nemkov well behind.
Since purchasing his smartwatch in March 2026, the 49-year-old heavyweight legend has accumulated 165 points on the device. By late April he had already logged 90 points, and he has continued building on that total through late May. The progress suggests a consistent and sustained training commitment from one of the sport's most celebrated veterans.
Emelianenko, known as The Last Emperor, carries a professional record of 36-5-0 and trains out of FedorTeam in Russia. Standing 183 cm tall with a 188 cm reach, he has long been admired for his technical striking, landing significant strikes at a rate of 3.18 per minute with 51 percent accuracy across his career. He also averaged two takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a well-rounded threat throughout his prime years.
Nemkov, also Russian and also standing 183 cm, holds a record of 19-2-0 and is 32 years old. His reach of 193 cm gives him a slight length advantage over Emelianenko. His smartwatch currently shows 72 points, up from 60 points in late April, representing steady but slower accumulation compared to his compatriot.
Why it matters
- Emelianenko's point total has grown by 75 since late April, while Nemkov added just 12 in the same window
- The gap between the two has widened from 30 points to 93 points over roughly one month
- The data offers a rare, lighthearted window into the off-competition habits of two prominent Russian fighters
