Interim Bellator heavyweight champion Valentin Moldavsky explained why his mentor Fedor Emelianenko easily defeated Timothy Johnson.
“Fedor was clearly faster, and if Timothy had chosen a different tactic, the fight would have gone longer. And so he went to Fedor on his territory, where Fedor is clearly better, and got it. Therefore, I do not see anything surprising, easy or not easy. The preparation was hard. No fight is easy, because you have been preparing for many months. Did Timothy make a mistake by taking this fight in this style? Maybe. But it was his choice, ”Okko Sport quotes the Moldavian.
Recall that the fight between Emelianenko and Johnson took place on October 23 in Moscow as part of the debut Bellator tournament in Russia.
