Fedor Emelianenko’s striped sweater has become something of MMA lore over the years. It even has its own nickname: “The Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory.”
The oddly colored piece of clothing has somehow taken on a life of its own, a mythical artifact in the history of his unique sport. Bellator even produced a tongue-in-cheek video this week about the sweater’s origins.
Perhaps there is something wholly fascinating about one of the most dangerous men in the history of sports donning not a t-shirt with a skull on it or a suit, but something your middle-aged uncle would wear.
