Bellator President Scott Cocker spoke about preferences Fedora Emelianenko in choosing an opponent for the last fight in his career.

According to Cocker, the legendary Russian wants to have revenge against the heavyweight champion of the promotion Ryan Bader in the event that an American emerges victorious from an upcoming duel against his student Valentina Moldavsky...

“This is what Fedor asked me to do. He said: “If Bader defeats Moldavian, then I want to fight with him. I replied: “I will give you different names at the beginning of January, and then we will see how the fight goes and make a final decision. Good?". Fedor agreed. That's all.

We have one more fight with Fedor, and we plan to do something great in Russia. He deserves a royal farewell to the career that he has spent, and we are going to give it to him ”, - quotes the words of Cocker MMA Junkie.

Recall that the Bader - Moldavian fight will take place on January 29 at the Bellator 273 tournament.

Emelianenko's farewell fight is expected to take place in Russia this summer.
