“It can completely slam Bader – Fedor has a blow, and this often solves many issues,” Gadzhiev said in an interview with the channel “Ushatayka”. “He may not be ready physically, he may lose speed, but a hit is a hit. Secondly, Fedor probably didn’t get better, but Bader definitely didn’t get better either. ”
“Bader isn’t the type to get knocked out, so of course he’s the favorite. But does Fedor have a chance? Yes, they are. With his beater they are. Absolutely in every fight. If he loses, then of course we will be less surprised than if he wins, but how happy we will be if he wins.
The fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Ryan Bader, in which the American will defend the Bellator heavyweight championship belt, will headline the Bellator 290 tournament on February 4 in Inglewood, California, USA.
