second cousin Khabiba Nurmagomedova current UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov told that the greatest odds Fyodor Emelianenko winning the duel with Ryan Bader will be in the exchange of blows in the rack.
The Russian will face the American at the Bellator 290 show in Inglewood (USA) and challenge for the heavyweight championship belt. The first fight between Emelianenko and Bader ended with a knockout of the Russian fighter in the first minute.
– How did you perceive Fedor Emelianenko when you started playing sports?
– I perceived him as a great figure in the sport, because the whole industry was associated with his name. If today you say you’re fighting, someone says, “Huh? Khabib Nurmagomedov. At that time it was Fedor Emelianenko.
Seems to me that now if Fedor hits with a swing, like in the previous fight, he can win (Emelianenko knocked out Timothy Johnson in the last fight in October 2021 – roughly “”). If the fight is over a long distance, I’m afraid that Fedor will get tired, because age is age. Maintaining stamina at this age is difficult, said Umar Nurmagomedov.
In total, Emelianenko, 46, has 40 wins and six losses in MMA, Bader, 39, has 30 wins and seven losses.
