Ivan OrekhovCorrespondent SportAll materialsAmbiguous outcome of the main event of the 273rd numbered Bellator tournament. Has the Russian been sued? Shortly before defending his heavyweight title, once-double Bellator champion Ryan Bader talked about a super-rematch with Fedor Emelianenko, whom the American nearly retired three years ago. Neither the power of Valentin Moldavsky, nor the status of an underdog of an MMA veteran bothered. He was sure that on Sunday the press would not discuss the new league champion from Russia at all, but one of the most anticipated posters of 2022.
"I understand everything: I knocked him out in 35 seconds, and now he cannot calmly to retire. Am I ready for revenge? Ready, but I practically did not consider this option. Focused on the upcoming fight — I need to get into the cage and protect the belt. And then we'll see what benefits a rematch can have for me, because now this idea seems to be unprofitable from all sides. It is impossible to beat the previous result… But this is a high-profile fight, any fight with Fedor will be loud, and his last fight even more so", Dart was quoted by the MMA Junkie portal.
