ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev told MMA.Metaratings.ru that he believes ryan bader favorite against Fyodor Emelianenko .
As part of the Bellator 290 tournament on February 4, Bader-Emelianenko and Anatoly Tokov-Johnny Eblin fights will take place. Other Russians will also perform tonight: Mukhamed Berkhamov, Akhmed Magomedov, Ali Isaev, Nikita Mikhailov and Diana Avsaragova.
– Bader is the favorite in the duel with Emelianenko. He is the champion, he won the first fight. He is deservedly the favorite, but we have a feeling that Fedor can. Tokov defeated everyone and everything, but his rival Johnny Eblin was very impressive, he defeated Gegard Mousasi with so much confidence. Therefore, you shouldn’t neglect it, but Tolik’s punching power will solve the problem. Although who knows. For me, the favorites are Bader and Tokov. But I won’t be surprised by a different result,” Badaev said.
Emelianenko won 40 victories in his professional career, suffered six defeats, one of his fights was declared invalid. In January 2019, he met Bader in the Grand Prix final, the American winning by knockout in the 35th second.
