sparring partner Fyodor Emelianenko (40-6) and member of the Fedor team Kirill Sidelnikov (14-7) commented on the news that Fedor’s last fight in Russia could not be staged, as previously announced in Bellator. As the Russian fighter told , so far no one in the team can be sure that Emelianenko’s next fight will definitely be the last in his career.
“Here, you understand, there may be one, and there may be more. Nobody knows for sure. Fedor himself probably cannot say for sure that he will leave. Let’s imagine he now fights with Ryan Bader, takes and wins against the defending champion. What’s the point of leaving then if he just beat a champion who is a really tough fighter? Turns out Fedor is still hoo! And maybe a lot more. So it may not be the last fight,” Sidelnikov said.
Sidelnikov and Emelianenko have been training together since 2004-2005. Fedor spent his last fight at the Bellator tournament in Moscow on October 23, where he knocked out American Timothy Johnson.
