“Fedor is dangerous for Bader with an explosion and a blow” – Moldavsky on Emelianenko’s new fight

Fedor Emelianenko’s opponent (40 wins, 6 losses) on February 4 will be Ryan Bader, 39 (30 wins, 7 losses). Bader beat Fedor in 2019 and (in a very even fight) Valentin Moldavsky in 2022. Moldavsky trains with Emelianenko and explains why Fedor can get revenge even at 46.

– Ryan Bader won the first fight against Fedor in a minute, and many people think that Fedor has little chance in the second fight. Refute it.

Bader knocked. But that’s MMA, the sport is unpredictable. To say that Fedor is unlucky, as you said, is definitely impossible. If Fedor prepares well and we will help him with all our strength, I think everything will be fine. In MMA it is very difficult to prepare 100% for a fight, there are always many factors. It’s a miracle when you were able to approach the fight normally. It seems that my preparation for Bader went well, and two days before the fight I fell ill. And it also affects your condition. Bader is such a fighter that if you let him feel…if he’s successful at first, he’ll be successful later. And if you immediately start grinding it, it is lost. He beat Davis twice, because Davis works more like number two. And it was difficult for Vadik Nemkov to win against Davis, although Vadik reworked Bader confidently because he didn’t give him the opportunity to feel the force behind him.

And I gave Bader a big advantage in my fight when I missed.

– Alexander Vasilievich Michkov said that after the fight between Emelianenko against Bader, during the preparation of Vadim Nemkov, you directly figured out how to avoid this blow?

– Yes, we had not yet practiced this blow for the Fedor fight, because at that time Bader only hit once like that, hit King Mo. Apparently, we did not attach any to it importance. Our mistake. But for the preparation of Vadim Nemkov, they definitely beat him. I remember being asked to hit like that, I tried to copy when Vadim was preparing.

– It is believed that Bader hit Fedor with his crown: he showed the way and hit him on the head with his front hand with a step.

– I wouldn’t say he shows the pass, he just throws this shot along a high trajectory, which is not visible. Once, and the hand flies away, but, apparently, I was not driven, because I already knew this blow, although he tried to hit me like that, but it didn’t work.

– What do you remember from your fight with him?

– I liked that in the fight I had an advantage, I won the fight by the number of takedowns. That is, at least not inferior. It seems to me that there is nothing there that Fedor would not see in his career.

– Explain to people how dangerous Fedor at 46 will be for Ryan Bader.

– Explosion and shock. He can hit long distances very unexpectedly and quickly…

– People who don’t train with him don’t understand that?

– Hits very fast, yes. You can even watch the fight with Timothy Johnson: if he hits, then anyone will go down. Very subtle touches.

– Bader has a student struggle, which relies on passing, pressure and control. Fedor has painful and technical stalls. Is it enough to face Bader?

– Well, a fight like Bader’s, of course, can be dangerous, you have to do it in such a way as to avoid this fight. I think Fedor will try to stand with him and try to punch.

– We called on November 10, were you aware of this fight at that time?

– Then again, probably not, but in general, of course, we found out a little earlier than we had announced. You can’t tell.

– We are talking a few hours before the Vadim Nemkov fight. Yesterday, at this time, he showed 93 kg on the scale, how much will he do in combat?

– Usually it takes 9-10 kg. Vadik hasn’t scored much yet, but I think he will be perfect for the fight.
