Moldovan heavyweight Sergei Spivak believes that the financial component is one of the main reasons for pursuing a career as a Russian Fyodor Emelianenko .
Emelianenko will face Ryan Bader on February 4 at Bellator 290 and challenge for the heavyweight championship. The Russian fighter is 46 years old, the fight against Bader will be the 48th in his professional career.
“I didn’t train with Fedor, but I spent a lot of time at Stary Oskol, with his guys,” Spivak told . – I still can’t imagine myself at 46, but Fedya has tantalizing numbers there, that’s why he’s fighting.
– So why not compete if you can knock out people your students are fighting with in five rounds?
– I don’t deny if he has a love for this sport, if he’s lived it all his life and misses it, why not. But money also plays a big role. Let’s say if you can make life easier for your family. When you’re paid six zeros, that’s not bad.
Heavyweight Sergey Spivak is No. 12 in the top 15 of the UFC rankings and will face Derrick Lewis on February 5 in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old Spivak’s MMA stats are 15 wins and 3 losses.
