American mixed martial artist (MMA) Timothy Johnson shared his expectations for the main fight at Bellator 269 against Fedor Emelianenko. His words are quoted by MMA Junkie.
The 36-year-old American believes that he is ready to perform in front of Russian fans. “I can handle it. How many people will have to experience this? I try to look at such things differently. There is something in this – to come to Russia and hack to death with Fedor, ”Johnson said.
He added that a victory over 45-year-old Emelianenko will help him achieve the title day at Bellator. In June, he lost in a duel for the title of interim champion of the organization in a fight with Valentin Moldavsky, a student of Emelianenko.
Emelianenko and Johnson will fight in the main Bellator 269 duel, which will be held on October 23 in Moscow. The American is known for his performances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
