Russian mixed martial arts fighter Fedor Emelianenko there will be no problem with the support of the public in the duel with the american ryan bader the head of the International SAMBO Federation, Vasily Shestakov, is sure of this.
Emelianenko will meet Bader 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.
– Of course, it would be great if the second fight between Emelianenko and Bader took place in Russia, moreover, in the arena of the recently opened SAMBO International Center in Luzhniki. It would be very symbolic, especially since Fedor went to mixed martial arts fights more than once in a samba jacket.
But we must let ourselves be guided not by our desires, but by the expectations of the athlete. Emelianenko is a legend of world sambo and mixed martial arts, has an impressive army of fans, including in the United States. In general, there is not a single country in the world where he would not be known and revered. Therefore, despite Bader performing at home, I’m sure at least half of the audience will be cheering for our legend. Fedor will not have problems with public support, – said Shestakov RT.
In total, Emelianenko, 46, has 40 wins and six losses in MMA, Bader, 39, has 30 wins and seven losses.
