By the Numbers: Fedor Emelianenko

Fedor Emelianenko displayed shades of old brilliance when he knocked out former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king Frank Mir early in the first round. Now 1-1 in Bellator MMA, he is entered in the promotion’s heavyweight grand prix and will next face Chael Sonnen in the semifinals. The veterans will collide in the main event of Bellator 208. Will “The Last Emperor” post back-to-back victories and move to the finals or will “The American Gangster” deny him of a title run? We’ll find out this weekend, but first, here some numbers that catapulted the Russian to greatness.
