Scott Coker, president of Bellator, said Brock Lesnar refused to fight Fedor Emelianenko.

"As soon as we scheduled Fedor's fight, I immediately called Brock's manager, but he said Lesnar is retired. That he's fishing, going hunting, that sort of thing. Anyway, not ready to fight Fedor. After all, it's not wrestling anymore, who wants to get hit in the face by Fedor?!", said the functionary.

On October 23, Emelianenko will fight Timothy Johnson at Bellator's debut tournament in Russia.
