Fedor Emelianenko Leaving Bellator For Big Name?

Fedor Emelianenko recently revealed that he will be returning to the world of MMA. Fabricio Werdum is one of the fighters who has started actively calling out Fedor for a fight against him. It seems the trend of legendary people returning to a sport is not just limited to the world of professional wrestling.

 


 

Fabricio Werdum recently took to Twitter and called out Fedor Emelianenko once again, as he called the possible fight the biggest rematch in history. Bellator President Scott Coker announced Fedor’s return on June 25th and revealed that he will be fighting on October 23rd in Moscow, Russia.

Fabricio Werdum claimed that Fedor Emelianenko was never the greatest of all time as he ‘killed’ him.

Fedor was never the goat because I killed the @ScottCoker let’s go

Fedor recently spoke to Igor Lazorin, where he talked about wanting to face off against Roy Jones, presumably after leaving Bellator with his contract set to expire soon.

“I would be interested, I have already worked with Denis Lebedev, with other guys [in boxing]. I have been boxing myself since 2000. So, yes, it would be interesting to have such a fight, but not with bloggers and singers, not with people from outside the world of sports. Roy Jones is a legend of world boxing, so of course it would be interesting to do it with him.

“He has such a track record. He will always be Roy Jones, although he will no longer have that crazy [hand] speed,”
