It’s rare that an MMA fighter can bring someone to tears without causing them vast amounts of physical pain, but Fedor Emelianenko manages to put our hearts in a vice with this remarkably motivational ad.

Former Pride Heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko stars in this Russian ad that is sure to tug at your heart strings. It follows a young boy who looks up to the MMA icon. The kid draws inspiration from the Sambo expert to help his father out of a rut. The finished article is pretty damn moving.

While Fedor hasn’t competed in a professional bout since destroying Pedro Rizzo in 2012, he has proven that he can still put a beat down on our emotions.

Before you ask, we haven’t got a clue what the ad is for either. Not even a notion!
