Описание: Fedor Emelianenko LINES UP Ryan Bader For Retirement Fight..

Welcome back to Fighters Fury. Fedor Emelianenko still has his sites set on Bellator gold. Widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, the 46-year-old Emelianenko is nearing the end of his storied career, with his next fight set to be his last. But while there are many potential opponents for Emelianenko’s swan song, according to Bellator MMA CEO Scott Coker, there’s only one that “The Last Emperor” is interested in.

Emelianenko and Bader fought in the finals of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix in 2019, with Bader securing a knockout in just 35 seconds to claim the vacant title. Since then, Emelianenko has won back-to-back fights by first-round knockout, and clearly still hopes to end his career on a high. MMA fandom does not quite agree. There’s a groundswell of support for Emelianenko to face fellow all-time great Anderson Silva and the ideal MMA sendoff for the two legends. And while Silva is a free agent and thus Coker could make the fight happen, he sees a few obstacles in the way. “I think Anderson enjoys boxing,” Coker said. “I haven’t talked to him but I think he enjoys boxing and he’s going to continue boxing. He’s going to fight Jake Paul on the Showtime pay-per-view coming up. But if there was an opportunity, of course, I would love to do it. That would be amazing. The two GOATs, that would be amazing.” In related news, UFC president Dana White never got the chance to sign Fedor Emelianenko and square the enigmatic Russian off against Brock Lesnar, but if he did, White believes Lesnar would have got his hand raised and won the fight. Speaking to GQ last month, a ‘very biased’ White revealed his pick for the heavyweight super-fight that never was, claiming Emelianenko refused to sign with the UFC despite being offered ‘an ungodly amount of money’.
