The greatest heavyweight to ever live Fedor Emelianenko is getting ready for his final fight in MMA. The Russian-born athlete was recently discussed in an interview with Bellator President Scott Coker.
According to Coker, Fedor most wants to avenge his earlier loss to Ryan Bader for his final match. Coker and Emelianenko have been working together on and off for more than a decade, originally they promoted alongside one another in Strikeforce.
While speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, the Bellator President said:
“Fedor, he’s got his bullseye on Ryan Bader. He wants to fight Ryan Bader. So Ryan is resting and he wants to fight at the beginning of next year. So we’re going to have a conversation.”
Fedor Emelianenko even asked for ‘Darth’ Bader in an interview in Russia where he said:
“For me, Bader remains the number one goal for now. They (Bellator) didn’t contact me, no one told me the news, I also learned about it from the Internet, from the media. Whether it is inflated, whether it attracts attention. But for now, I’m preparing for Bader.”
Ryan Bader and ‘The Last Emperor’ originally met in the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix Final in which the US-born athlete earned a first-round knockout stoppage victory. In the same interview, Fedor went on to discuss an all-time MMA great Anderson Silva. Regarding ‘The Spider,’ Fedor Emelianenko said:
“Anderson Silva’s boxing is very good, considering that he is now winning boxing matches. But I do not rule out the fight completely. Yes, thank God, it turns out to win somewhere standing, to finish the fight faster, but no, the fight is in force. As for Anderson, he ended his last fights in MMA with defeats, there were several knockouts, despite good boxing. Let’s see. If Bellator does offer it, we will consider it.” [Russian to English courtesy of Google Translate]
It sounds as though ‘The Last Emperor’ Fedor Emelianenko is open to a match against the former Brazilian UFC world champion. Scott Coker, while speaking to Helwani, addressed this fight and put some cool water on these rumors. While speaking on The MMA Hour he said:
“Fedor hit me up, ‘Am I going to fight Anderson Silva?’ I said, ‘No, no. Everybody just calm down.’”
Although, Coker sounds interested:
“I think Anderson enjoys boxing. I haven’t talked to him but I think he enjoys boxing and he’s going to continue boxing. He’s going to fight Jake Paul on the Showtime pay-per-view coming up. But if there was an opportunity, of course I would love to do it. That would be amazing. The two GOATs, that would be amazing ... As a fan, I would love it. It would be unbelievable.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting]

The legendary MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko recently commented on reports that Russians are fleeing the country to avoid being drafted. The former Russian military member Emelianenko said that this is ‘shocking.’
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Two weeks ago, President of Russia Vladimir Putin announced a draft and mobilization of new military members. Russian defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that over 200,000 people have been drafted. Although many men in the country have instead chosen to flee or cause self-injury to avoid being sent to the front.
According to Bloomberg, over 400,000 people have fled to neighboring countries such as Georgia, Kazakhstan, or Mongolia. Some men have even taken extreme measures such as self-mutilation to avoid the draft. Forbes explains, “search terms like “how to break an arm,” “how to break an arm at home” or “how to break a leg” spiked on Google (which is still used by millions in Russia) in the days after the draft was announced.”
The Soviet-born heavyweight Emelianenko reacted to this news in an interview with Championat. “The Last Emperor,” said:
“There are different [reactions] in my environment, people have different thoughts, questions arise. But for me personally, it was a great discovery and a slight shock when you read the news in our country, what is happening in the military registration and enlistment offices and that people are fleeing the draft.” [Translation from Russian to English courtesy of Google Translate]
Vladimir Putin and Fedor Emelianenko have been friends for years and the two have even trained in martial arts together. Putin publicly thanked Fedor for her services in combat sports. In 2012, Putin said, “I want to congratulate Fedor and thank him from all of us, martial arts fans. It is because of him this sport became so popular in our country.” Heavyweight great Emelianenko said, in 2015, the Russian President, “Vladimir Putin is made of steel.”
“The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko is one of the greatest talents in MMA history. This legendary fighter was a standout champion in Combat Sambo, a Russian-designed martial art. After transitioning to MMA, Emelianenko would pick up the legendary PRIDE FC heavyweight title and rule the division with an iron fist.
In his illustrious career, Fedor Emelianenko defeated fighters such as former UFC Champions “Rampage” Quinton Jackson, Frank Mir, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Mark Coleman, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Kevin Randleman, and many others in his lengthy tenure.
Since making his debut in Bellator he has earned a record of 4-2. The 46-year-old heavyweight knows he does not have much time left in his MMA career but has requested a final fight against Ryan Bader as he would like to avenge his earlier loss.
