Shlemenko makes predictions for Moldavsky vs Bader

MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko of Russia shared his prediction for the upcoming Bellator heavyweight champion fight of Ryan Bader and the owner of the interim title Valentin Moldavsky. Their fight will take place on the night of January 29 as part of the Bellator 273 tournament in Phoenix.

“It’s hard to say what the outcome will be. It can be assumed that Moldavsky will win. He is still from the team that fought Bader twice, it seems they have already studied him. That's just due to this, I would bet on Moldavsky in this battle. No one knows Bader as well as Fedor Team.

"Moldavsky and Bader are very similar. Both come from freestyle wrestling, they do something in the stand, they fight. Moldavsky's main advantages are that he is from Fedor's team, and that they studied Bader very well.

"I think Fedor himself will prepare Moldavsky for this victory. For him, this is fundamental. Moreover, they took one belt from him, now there is a chance to take the second one,” said Shlemenko.
