Considered one of the best athletes in recent MMA history, Khabib Nurmagomedov surrendered to the last performance of Fedor Emelianenko. Present in Bellator 269, the former UFC champion closely followed his compatriot's attack on Tim Johnson last weekend. Without hiding the commotion, the 'Eagle' was caught effusively celebrating the triumph of the 'Last Emperor'.

The event held in Russia may have marked Emelianenko's farewell to MMA. Considered one of the biggest names in the history of the sport, the athlete beat his rival, marking one of his main characteristics: the knockout.
In the confrontation against Johnson, the Russian didn't need much time to stir up the crowd. The veteran's victory came after just over a minute, when the fighter landed a combination of punches, which obliterated his rival.
After the triumph, Fedor did not confirm that he would hang up his gloves. At 45 years old, the 'Last Imperator' confirmed his good form and achieved his fourth victory in his last five fights.
A fan of Emelianenko, Fedor has been retired since the end of 2020. A lightweight legend (up to 70,3kg), the fighter hung up his gloves with a perfect record, with 29 wins and no defeats.
