Andrew Karlov | Published July 5, 2021, 7:39 a.m.

MMA veteran Jeff Monson announced his readiness to resume his career for a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko.

“I would like to return to the ring and have my last fight, finish my professional career in Russia, in my new home, in front of the Russian audience. Bellator night on October 23 in Moscow is a great opportunity to do this. I would like to fight Fedor. I think that would be a great point, a wonderful retirement for both of us. I am quite popular in Russia, Fedor is the greatest fighter, a legend. It would be an honor for me to take revenge over him...” Monson said.

In the first fight, which took place in 2011, Fedor won on points.
