The end of his professional career is near, and Fedor Emelianenko wants to avenge a loss and retire a champion in his final fight.
Emelianenko has given some thought to his final appearance in the Bellator cage and told Scott Coker that his focus is on the upcoming fight between Ryan Bader and Valentin Moldavsky, especially if ‘Darth’ emerges victorious. Bader kept Emelianenko away from the then-vacant Bellator Heavyweight World Championship with a brutal 35-second technical knockout at Bellator 214 over two years ago. Now that ‘The Last Emperor’ has earned two impressive wins over Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Timothy Johnson in recent outings, he believes now is the time for a rematch.
