MOSCOW, Oct 4— . Bellator President Scott Cocker, in a conversation with MMA Junkie, spoke about the last fight of the veteran mixed martial arts Russian Fedor Emelianenko, noting that in July the Last Emperor could fight in Moscow. It was previously reported that the 46-year-old heavyweight should have a farewell fight in early 2023. Emelianenko Sr. has not fought since October last year, when he knocked out Timothy Johnson from the USA in the debut of the fight at the league tournament in Moscow.
" Red Square. This would be Fedor's last fight. You're talking about the greatest fighter of all time, the greatest heavyweight — we planned this as an event where he would retire and finally come home because he conquered the world. However, it is obvious that (the situation in Ukraine) interfered with the plans. But we are still discussing. Fedor wants to fight "here and now". Let's see how everything goes", — said the American functionary.
