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.
Luke Thomas is a conservative according to the first 1 minute.
If Fedor wins we want to see him against DC.
Is he wearing the Reps for Jesus shirt from BroScience?
I once worked with a guy who said he was 0-11 in boxing and had been KOed every time. He like 40 and they found him dead in his trailer. I was told he feel down and hit his head and died. It was weird I wondered if the kos had something to do with it or something else happened.
Juicy Juicy
it will mean two old fighters who are way past their prime fight in the B league, either one winning means nothing
Fedor beat 6 UFC champions.. Coleman, Randleman, Nogueira, Mir, Arlovski, Sylvia.. finished 5 of them.. not close decision or anything.. He is the greatest heavyweight of all time..
If Fedor beats Bader he is the heavyweight goat without a doubt.
Btw it's worth acknowledging that he just about Knocked Mitrione out in the same fight he got KOd in, he didn't recover as quick but by no means does that mean he can't compete with these people, they both knocked each other down he isn't Prime Fedor but he can still compete with the Bellator roster so saying '"i thought it was over" in that instance doesn't make a great load of sense lol
Luke Thomas is selling me on watching this fight. I don’t watch much mma anymore but I have to catch this
