“Early on the morning of February 5, my brother Fedor Emelianenko will have his last fight in MMA. I hope his victory will be as easy as our duel!” Emelianenko wrote on social networks, posting a video of the final duel with his brother at the Russian Combat Sambo Championship in 2012.
Given the difficult family relationships, it is difficult to say whether the fighter really expects an easy victory from his brother, or hints at the contractual nature of the fight.
Recall that the fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Ryan Bader, in which the American will put the Bellator heavyweight championship belt on the line, will head the Bellator 290 tournament in Inglewood on February 4.
