“Let the strongest win,” the Belarusian fighter said in an interview to the channel “Ushatayka”. “I’m unlikely to root for someone, I don’t know to watch. If it’s February 4, then I’m definitely not going to watch it – I’ll have to spend time with my family and friends. It is unlikely that Fedor will knock him out. I think Bader’s win will be a decision.”
Recall that the heavyweight title fight between Ryan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko will be the main event of the Bellator 290 tournament, which will be held on February 4 in Inglewood. In the second most important event of the event, Russian Anatoly Tokov will try to take away the Bellator middleweight championship belt from American Johnny Eblin.
