ACA Lightweight Grand Prix Finalist Artem Reznikov told MMA.Metaratings.ru that he believes in winning Fedor Emelianenko above ryan bader but the outcome of the battle will depend on the first rounds.
– Ryan Bader is a physically strong guy, he has a good catch. With her help, he won many fights. Probably a good breath. Fedor has fast hands, the blow went nowhere. That in his youth, that now he hits hard. He has a chance of knocking out absolutely any fighter. Emelianenko’s weakest side is wrestling. I was even surprised how in the duel with Chael Sonnen his opponent made a pass in the legs and Fedor fell very easily. Bader also fell more than once in knockouts. I admit that a new miss, it will fall.
Emelianenko’s 2019 loss to Bader was no accident as the American did what he did before he met Fedor. The fight before, he knocked out Mohammed Laval with the same blow. There at the 15th second, here at the 35th. I was surprised that such an experienced fighter like Fedor got caught on the left hook. I hope now he won’t let you get hit by yourself. How many fights I watched, most often Emelianenko misses precisely in the first seconds. If he does not cash early in the game, the game is going well.
In the upcoming fight, someone will fall in the first round. The outcome of Emelianenko’s fights is easy to predict. Either Fedor misses or he drops the opponent. The first round or the beginning of the second. I hope for a knockout from the Russian fighter. Emelianenko is the fighter because of whom he started practicing mixed martial arts. I was a fan of Fedor and he influenced my transition into MMA. I believe in Emelianenko’s victory,” Reznikov said.
Emelianenko will face Ryan Bader at Bellator 290 on February 4. The rivals previously met in January 2019, when the U.S. Representative won by knockout in the first round.
