Russian UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov commented on the loss Fyodor Emelianenko in a farewell fight, and also noted that he would like veterans to end their careers in battles with veterans.
Emelianenko at the Bellator 290 tournament in Inglewood (California) lost to Bader by technical knockout in the first round, losing the fight for the world heavyweight championship belt. After the fight, the 46-year-old Russian announced his retirement.
– There was hope. I would like veterans to end their careers in battles with veterans, not with young and hungry people. I have already seen several times that a veteran, leaving, fights with a young and promising. And he loses. I can’t give a rating, they will fix the mistakes in the team themselves. It’s just that when you’re at that age, you already have a different view, a sense of distance. You see differently. If Fedor fought Chael Sonnen, for example, it would be an interesting and equal fight. Even when it comes to age, physique, reaction and everything else. The whole problem is age. If Fedor was 39, it would be a completely different fight,” Sport24 quotes Umar Nurmagomedov.
