On Sunday morning, Fedor Emelianenko lost ahead of schedule to American Ryan Bader in a fight for the heavyweight championship belt at the Bellator 290 tournament. The fight ended in a technical knockout in the first round. After the fight, the 46-year-old Russian announced his decision to end his career. These rivals met in 2019 and the result was the same.
– Not surprised with the result. Of course, I wanted to believe that Emelianenko would punch and knock Bader out in the first round, because Fedor still had punching power. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Yes, and he missed a few shots and swam a bit. Bader is a champion and much younger. But Fedor is still handsome. Yes, Fedor in his status could choose any passing opponent and leave on a good note. But he chose the path of a real fighter, trying to win the belt in a duel with a strong opponent. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Fedor Emelianenko deserves nothing but respect, he had a brilliant career. I congratulate him that he can now calmly relax and go about his business,” Ragozin told .
In total, Emelianenko, 46, has 40 wins and seven losses in MMA, Bader, 39, has 31 wins and seven losses.
