UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in a conversation with a correspondent, he said he was convinced that the American ryan bader can’t overcome Fyodor Emelianenko in a rematch at Bellator 290.
The fight between Emelianenko and Bader will take place on February 4 in Inglewood (USA). The first meeting of the fighters, which took place in January 2019, ended with the victory of the American by knockout in the first round.
– Are you going to watch Fedor Emelianenko’s fight? And how can he stop Ryan Bader’s fight – in the last fight he just exhausted Cheick Kongo for her.
– Of course I’ll watch, I’m just on a diet and I don’t have to break it, but I will watch the replay 100%. I don’t think he will somehow be able to press Fedor and defeat him, because Fedor … Well, I don’t even know, I always remember Fedor’s past and put it in such a way that nobody can defeat him. Fedor just needs to punch, he has the same fast hands, the same power in his hands. Well, don’t miss it yourself,” Makhachev told .
Makhachev (23-1) will make his first defense of the lightweight title with Alex Volkanovski (25-1; 34) in Perth, Australia on February 11 at UFC 284. For this fight, featherweight champion Volkanovski will move on at the lightweight division of 65 0.8 kg to 70.3 kg. Previously, the 31-year-old Makhachev rival defended the belt four times in the featherweight division.
