Your drawings are not too bad. Who do you give your pictures to?

Fedor: To my older daughter, that's all. It's kind of sad - because I like them as well, and I put a lot of effort into them. Accidentally found an artist talent in myself. Brother asked to sketch something on paper - and it came out beautiful. So that's how it started. I draw with a pencil, usually during competition. But don't think that my drawings have anything to do with visual art. It's just an amateur level.

Drawing is your way to prepare for a fight?

Fedor: No; not at all. Before a fight, me and my coaches play cards. Try to create a free atmosphere. Only jokes and laughs.

In all your travels, which places really made an impression on you?

Fedor: Louvre, Paris Cathedral. After I started drawing I got interested in painting. Visit museums and Picture Galleries with great delight.

Do you have a dream?

Fedor: Yes, to build a house in Stary Oskol with a big gym.

You go around the biggest cities in the world. And still don't want to leave Stary Oskol?

Fedor: Oskol - best city in the universe. Although, it's not important where to live for me, but with whom and how.

Someone from foreign journalists visited you in Oskol and was shocked to see the might Fedor Emelianenko drive around on old "Zhiguli"

Fedor: Let them come again, they'll see that everything changed. Three years ago, I did ride on a "ten", but the governor gave me a Toyota Land Cruiser as a gift. Wonderful car. It suits me fine. And actually I'm not too picky when it comes to cars.

You're 32. How long do you have in the ring?

Fedor: I have no idea

Wife doesn't tell you to finish up with fighting?

Fedor: Never. Even though I could have grown tired of all these rings and gyms. I sometimes slept in the gyms. When I worked as a guard before the army.

Which qualities should a woman have, so that she can be with a man like you?

Fedor: Patience

Is sense of fear familiar to you?

Fedor: Like every normal person I'm afraid to lose the ones close to me. I don't have any other fears.

You're not even afraid of a toothache?

Fedor: No. And not afraid of needles either - from time to time I make injections myself (WTF???)

So then, even roller coasters were made for you?

Fedor: I love that stuff! Whenever I get a chance to go outside the country - always go there, to theme parks. Want to go mountain skiing, but can never find time. Too busy.
