Former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko of Russia spoke about the final match of Bellator Grand Prix with Ryan Bader, which will be held on January 26.

ā€œI don't care where this fight will take place. We paid a lot of attention to the fight on the ground and sparring. So let's see how everything will be in battle. I do not care in principle.

ā€œWinning Bellator Grand Prix will be one of the biggest achievements in my career if you manage to win. Ryan, of course, is a very serious contender, he beat the strongest fighters, therefore, if God will give me the victory, for me it will be a great event.

ā€œPreparation went well, but its level can only be judged during a fight or after it. But, thank God, everything went well. As for stoppage victory - I always want to win by knockout. Of course, I want to win by TKO and not delay the winning of the fight, but we are always preparing for a full distance, so that we still have the strength after it,ā€ said Emelianenko during a press conference organized by Bellator.
