What Fedor Emelianenko Beating Ryan Bader Really Means


If Fedor Emelianenko beats Ryan Bader, what does that do for his legacy? In some ways, perhaps nothing. A win over Bader is important, but wouldn’t match the top accomplishments Fedor’s already racked up.

Still, he’d win the Bellator heavyweight grand prix, three fights in less than a year, becoming the Bellator heavyweight champion and, in my view, earn his most legitimate victory since defeating Andrei Arlovski at Affliction in 2009. To do that at age 42 would be an astounding achievement on its own and even more impressive after his relative inactivity and pockets of up and down results.
