It's time. This Saturday (4), in Inglewood (USA), Bellator 290 takes place. With two title fights, the show presents fans with a farewell to the legendary Fedor Emelianenko. At 46 years old, the Russian will retire from MMA after facing the champion Ryan bader in a confrontation for the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg.).
Considered by many as one of the best representatives of the sport of all time, Emelianenko will have the last opportunity to win a belt in Bellator. In 2019, the athlete had his plan thwarted when he faced Bader himself, in the final of the division's Grand Prix.
In addition to the clash between the heavyweights, another clash with the title at stake moves the show forward. Champion since 2022, when he overcame Gegard Mousasi, Johnny Eblen tries to defend the throne before Anatoly Tokov.
In total, the show has 14 scheduled clashes. Brazil will be represented by Neiman Gracie, who faces Dante Schiro in the fight that closes the preliminary card.
Stay tuned here to follow the results of the Bellator 290, Ryan bader x Fedor Emelianenko, LIVE and REAL TIME:
