Russian mixed martial arts fighter Sergei Kharitonov shared his views on the career of Fedor Emelianenko, who later decided to end his performance in MMA after losing to US representative Ryan Bader. Transmits words sports24.
“Fyodor had a legendary career? The start was strong. Legendary? I don’t know… I’m not ready to answer with such a statement. He earned money and was in a good series at the time. Was it a mistake to play a rematch with Bader? But everyone was talking about Fedor. Life goes on,” said Kharitonov.
The fight, which took place within the scope of the Bellator 290 tournament, ended with the defeat of the Russians in the first round. The referee stopped the meeting at the third minute.
In January 2019, the athletes met already in the octagon. Then the US representative won at 35 seconds.
