One of the greatest mixed martial artists in the history of the sport is hanging up his gloves.
HDNet’s Ron Kruck on Thursday confirmed Fedor Emelianenko is retiring following a knockout of Pedro Rizzo at “M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Rizzo,” which took place Thursday at Ice Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The 35-year-old Emelianenko leaves the sport with an overall 34-4 record in 12 years of professional competition.
