“I would say that Velasquez was the greatest when he was healthy, but the only problem is that he was constantly pursued by injuries, and he did not have such fights and resumes as Fedor. He could be the greatest heavyweight in history.
If you want to label someone as the greatest, then I would name Fedor. He didn't fight in the UFC, but that doesn't take anything away from him. He built a legacy. He fought great fighters in Japan and defeated many of them. But if you arranged a fight between peak Velasquez and Emelianenko, then I would choose Kane, ”MMA Fighting quotes Bader.
On the night of February 5 at the Bellator 290 show in Inglewood, USA, Bader will have a rematch with Emelianenko. In their first fight, which took place in January 2019, the American knocked out the Russian in the first round.
