sparring partner Emelianenko Valentin Moldavsky, explained why Fedor chose the current champion ryan bader as an opponent in the last professional fight of his career.
Bellator’s first heavyweight rating figure, Moldavsky, believes that Fedor’s choice in favor of the American could not be due to the financial component.
– With what mood do you read remarks in the spirit of “Fedor went out for a check.”
“I’ll tell those stupid talking donkeys… he’d be paid the same amount for any opponent.” For everyone. He could take a person who just entered the battles there and that’s it, he has a fixed amount. He wasn’t overpaid for Bader.
— In my opinion, it’s usually pretty obvious to keep fighting if you have a good contract.
– Yes. If we all had worse contracts, we would be fighting elsewhere. But we have good contracts, we fight in Bellator.
Did you explain why he chose to fight Bader?
– And I didn’t ask him, because for any ambitious athlete, it’s obvious. If there is such an opportunity, why not take advantage of it. – said the Moldovan “”.
Bader defeated Emelianenko at Bellator 290 to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Bader’s next opponent will be the winner of the fight between Moldavsky and Linton Vassell.
