Russian mixed style fighter (MMA) Fedor Emelianenko responded to the comment of former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov about his victory over American Timothy Johnson at the Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Emelianenko thanked Nurmagomedov for his support. “Khabib said that this is too fast knockout for 45 years? I withstood all the loads, we will continue to prepare. We are still in the ranks, it will be a great incentive for young guys in any sport, ”he stressed.
The fight between Emelianenko and Johnson took place on Saturday, October 23, as part of the Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow. The Russian sent his opponent to a deep knockout in the first round. For the 45-year-old fighter, this is his 40th career win.
