Fedor Emelianenko is keeping himself busy in retirement, and his smartwatch data suggests the 49-year-old Russian legend is pushing his cardio as hard as ever. Since purchasing the device in March, the former heavyweight king has accumulated 165 points on his fitness tracker, with each half-marathon run earning just four points — a figure that speaks to a serious volume of work on the roads.

Emelianenko, who compiled a career record of 36-5-0 and earned the nickname "The Last Emperor" during a dominant heavyweight run, trains under the FedorTeam banner in Russia. Standing six feet tall with a 74-inch reach, he was known inside the cage for landing 3.18 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy, while also threatening consistently with takedowns and submissions. That same discipline appears to be carrying over into his post-fight training life.

His FedorTeam colleague Vadim Nemkov is also logging miles, sitting at 72 points on his own tracker. That figure is up from 60 points recorded in late April, when Fedor was at 90 points, meaning both men have been adding steadily to their totals through May. Nemkov, 32, holds a professional record of 19-2-0 and stands six feet tall with a 76-inch reach, giving him a slight physical edge over his veteran teammate.

Why it matters

  • Fedor has added 75 points since late April, outpacing Nemkov's gain of 12 over the same window
  • At four points per half-marathon, Fedor's 165-point total represents a remarkable running commitment for a 49-year-old former heavyweight champion
  • The friendly internal competition between teammates adds an interesting layer to FedorTeam's training culture
