Russian UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov shared his emotions from the last fight Fyodor Emelianenko in a career.
On Saturday, Emelianenko lost ahead of schedule to American Ryan Bader in a duel for the world heavyweight championship belt at the Bellator 290 tournament in the United States. The fight ended with a technical knockout in the first round and then the Russian officially announced his retirement.
“I don’t know why they always pick young, strong guys for themselves. They probably want… Of course, if Fedor had won against him, this wouldn’t have happened at all! Sensation. Sensational treatments. But for me, it was less worrying if his opponent was the same age as him. All fans would have spent less nerves. Of course, and I lost my nerves. I was sick, worried. I didn’t want an era to end like this.
But still, he is an example for us in this sport. Has always behaved with dignity. We grew up with his fights. He launched the MMA industry in Russia and the CIS,” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with Sport24.
