Emelianenko asked Scott Cocker for a title shot

Scott Cocker, President of Bellator, announced that Fedor Emelianenko asked him for a title fight.

“We had a plan that whoever wins, be it Beider or Moldavsky, in the next fight he will fight Kongo. Before Ryan's fight with Moldavsky, Fedor said that he wanted to fight Bader if he defeated Valentin. But I replied that the winner would fight Cheick Kongo at the tournament in Paris. Let's see what happens next, everything is changing rapidly in this business," the functionary said at a press conference.

Recall that Bader beat Moldavsky by unanimous decision at today's Bellator 273 tournament
