The last fight in the career of the legendary heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko will not take place in Moscow in the summer, as was previously planned. This was announced by the head of Bellator Scott Coker.

“We will definitely not hold Fedor’s farewell fight in Moscow this year. For obvious reasons, we will look for an alternative venue. Yes, an amazing show was planned in Moscow. I can even tell you that we received approval to hold this fight on Red Square. It would be the perfect farewell for The Greatest. But now we must change plans, find something equally amazing. Fedor deserves a great send-off. It’s just that we don’t know yet where exactly we will hold it,” said Cocker.
