<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122490/fedor-emelianenko">Fedor Emelianenko</a> and his M-1 management team have been called every name in the book by frustrated members of the mixed martial arts community, but "bus hoggers" has to be a new one.</p>
<p>As you likely know, Emelianenko was the headlining attraction at <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/dream">DREAM's</a> year-end <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/92465/dream-new-year-2011">DREAM: New Year! 2011</a> event. Fighting in Japan for the first time in four years, "The Last Emperor" needed just <a href="http://mma.sbnation.com/2011/12/31/2673102/dream-nye-2011-results-fedor-emelianenko-crushes-ishii-aoki-takaya" target="_blank">two-and-a-half minutes</a> to blast through <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122646/satoshi-ishii">Satoshi Ishii</a> and warm the hearts of PRIDE fans everywhere.</p>
<p>Apparently, the behind-the-scenes aftermath didn't got as smoothly. HDNet play-by-play announcer <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/SchiavelloVOICE/status/153655842565140481" target="_blank">Michael Schiavello</a> documented the ugliness with a bizarre ten-tweet rant.</p>

<p>Complete results for Dream New Year 2011. Fedor Emelianenko KO'd Satoshi Ishii, Shinya Aoki took a decision win over Satoru Kitaoka and Bibiano Fernandes took the bantamweight tournament.</p> <p>Japanese fight promote Antonio Inoki made sure the tradition of a big martial arts event on New Year's Eve continued as he mounted Dream: New Year 2011 featuring Fedor Emelianenko vs. Satoshi Ishii, Shinya Aoki vs. Satoru Kitaoka, a bantamweight tournament and more.</p>
<p>Emelianenko made short work of Ishii, absolutely blasting him with punches for a first round KO win. The win is Emelianeko's second in a row after beating Jeff Monson in Moscow a few weeks back. Fedor had dropped three straight to end his run in Strikeforce. </p>
<p>Ishii, a 2008 Olympic Gold medalist in Judo, has to be one of the biggest busts in MMA history. He drops to 4-2-1 with the loss and his future in the sport is anyone's guess. He was booed by Japanese fans against Jerome Le Banner last year and had utterly failed to fulfill expectations that he would be the "savior" of Japanese MMA.</p>
<p>Dream lightweight champion Shinya Aoki dominated former training partner Satoru Kitaoka to take a five round decision. Aoki brutalized Kitaoka to the point that the loser was gargling his own blood at various points in the bout. </p>
<p>Bibiano Fernandes won two bouts to take the Dream bantamweight tournament, beating Antonio Banuelos in the finals.</p>

The bout will mark Emelianenko return to Japan for the first time since 2007.</p>
<p>"I'm very happy to be fighting back in Japan for the first time in four years. I'm very happy to be fighting against Ishii," Fedor said at Friday's pre-fight press conference (via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Dream-Genki-Desu-Ka-Weigh-ins-After-Retries-All-Fighters-Cleared-38609">Sherdog</a>). "I met Ishii several years ago, when we talked over tea. I think I have a good relationship with him and am glad to be fighting a great opponent like him. I hope to put on a great fight for the fans tomorrow."</p>

<p>Formally titled "Genki Desu Ka!", the event is co-promoted by DREAM, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/k-1">K-1</a>, and the IGF, and scheduled to take place December 31st, 2011 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Following in the tradition of past New Year's Eve co-promotions, a mixture of kickboxing, mixed martial arts, pro wrestling, and mixed rules bouts are slated for action.</p>
<p>As expected, a heavyweight bout between <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122490/fedor-emelianenko">Fedor Emelianenko</a> (34-4, 1 NC) and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122646/satoshi-ishii">Satoshi Ishii</a> (4-1-1) has been tapped as the night's main event.

<p>According to promotion officials, the former UFC heavyweight champion has agreed to face <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/k-1">K-1</a> legend <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122846/jerome-le-banner">Jerome Le Banner</a> in a pro wrestling bout at the New Year's Eve event.</p>

<p>In a sport built on bluster and hype, no one bats an eye when alpha-male fighters predict victory by "first-round smashing" or "taking an arm home."</p>
<p>Rarely will a fighter sway to the side of honesty and publicly state his desire to eek out a decision. But then again, rarely does a man with six professional fights prepare for one of mixed martial arts' premiere legends.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with <a href="http://lowkick.blitzcorner.com/Other/Satoshi-Ishii-Fedor-is-a-legend-but-I-will-beat-him-on-December-31st-Exclusive-14702" target="_blank">Lowkick</a>, Olympic Gold Medalist <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122646/satoshi-ishii">Satoshi Ishii</a> replied with surprising candidness when asked about his chances against <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122490/fedor-emelianenko">Fedor Emelianenko</a> at <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/92465/dream-new-year-2011">DREAM: New Year! 2011</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I would not say that I have any real advantage over Fedor. The man is a legend and has faced all styles. But I am confident wherever this fight goes... Fedor has been at this a very long time and has fought everyone. I respect his accomplishments and look up to him. It is a complete honor to step in the ring with him... <b>I feel that I will win this fight via decision.</b> I am no longer just a Judoko. Fans will see how far my striking, wrestling, and grappling have come since I started MMA."</p>
