The Red Devils in Action
An article exist where Fedor states that he does not train with kettlebells. I think he's just being secretive.
In the below above please check out these times:
1:20 Kettlebells and Dumbbells under a tree
1:38 Fedor next to some ketelebells doing a back exercise
3:30 Fedor doing sit-ups next to a kettlebell
3:48 Kettlebell under the Swing Set
I guess it's a possibility that Fedor just likes to exercise and pose next to kettlebells ?, but it seems logical enough that if his team is training with kettlebells then Fedor is also.

Kettlebells and Red Devils
The Red Devil Sport Club is a mixed martial arts academy in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The team’s main fighter base is comprised of Russian and Eastern European sambo fighters who have adapted their style to MMA, and they regularly compete in full contact sambo tournaments.
The team’s most notable fighters are the brothers Fedor and Aleksander Emelianenko. It appears that they're fan of kettlebell training from the photos above.

Kettlebell Training for Combat Athletes
I really love this video. It just goes to show the variety and broad applications that kettlebell training offers combat athletes.
Of course, there is always the debate that you should focus your efforts on a few select and very effective kettlebell training exercises such as Long -Cycle Clean & Jerks, one - arm Snatches and perhaps Kettlebell Turkish Get-ups. The theory is to go deeper into your conditioning and not wider by adding silly sport specific exercises to the mix. Get in better condition through kettlebell training and get better at your sport by spending more time in that sport, actually working on the skills needed to excel.I tend to agree with the former. However, different coaches and athletes don't always share the same experiences and are successful with their training plans.
You have to be able to justify why or why not something is in your plan and go from there, trial and error.
Below is a very cool video of some combat sport kettlebell drills. Enjoy.
