Russian mixed martial artist Fedor Emelianenko capable of taking revenge on American Ryan Bader for the defeat three years ago, said the head of the International SAMBO Federation (ISAF) Vasily Shestakov.
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.
– Fedor was, is and will be the best in his field. I am convinced that he still has no equal. Emelianenko knows how to get results both in the short term and at the end of the fight. True skill lies in winning with the least amount of effort. And in the last fights, Fedor was successful.
I don’t believe the fight will last all five rounds, it’s unlikely that Emelianenko wants to let the judges decide the fate of the fight. Sure, punches are the main weapon in his arsenal, especially at close range, but don’t forget the power of his low kicks, which can break opponents’ legs. Well, I’m not even talking about wrestling, the sambo school made him invulnerable in this component. To summarize the above, I think the fight will last no more than three rounds. And despite everything, the fight will take place in the United States, I bet on the victory of Fedor, – said Shestakov RT.
In total, Emelianenko, 46, has 40 wins and six losses in MMA, Bader, 39, has 30 wins and seven losses.
