Renowned Russian veteran of mixed martial arts Fedor Emelianenko reacted to the words Corey Anderson. Earlier, the American said that after the fight with Vadim Nemkov Emelianenko approached him and said that he did not win, but only hit his head.
“After the battle, we didn’t even get close to that distance to talk. And if it was an accident (headbutt), then admit that this accident happened through your fault, because you performed a forbidden technique. Why then rejoice and behave like this? But after the fight, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the result that was announced. I showed him after the fight with a gesture that he had carried out an illegal headbutt. And only after that he approached Vadim, shook his hand and said that it was his foul. We shook hands and parted," journalist Igor Lazorin quotes Emelianenko in Telegram.
The Nemkov-Anderson fight took place on April 16 at Bellator 277 and was declared void after a headbutt. At stake was the championship belt, the Grand Prix title and a $1 million prize.
