Russian mixed style fighter (MMA) Alexei Makhno spoke about the victory of compatriot Fedor Emelianenko over American Timothy Johnson at the Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow. His words are quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
The athlete drew attention to the fact that Johnson was originally a wrestler who believed in striking technique. “Once he was defeated and said that he would not hit anymore, but would fight if necessary. And in the duel with Fedor, he was mistaken in that he did not fight. It is still very large, and he did not have time to react to Fedor’s speed, ”he said.
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.
After the victory, Emelianenko thanked the fans for their support. The Russian noted that he was very pleased to perform at home. He also expressed hope that the fans were able to plunge into the atmosphere of a major sporting event.
