Ryan Bader is favorite for Fedor Emelianenko farewell fight at Bellator

Forecasts of bookmakers in favor of the American.

On the night of February 5 in Inglewood (USA) in the main event of Bellator 290, mixed martial arts legend Fedor Emelianenko will have his farewell fight.

The Russian's opponent will be Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader, whom bookmakers call the favorite of the upcoming fight.

Four years ago, the fighters already met as part of a promotion tournament, and then the American knocked out Fedor at the very beginning of the meeting.

This time, forecasts are in favor of Bader's younger age, as well as the fact that Emelianenko Sr. has not performed at a high level for quite a long time (since October 2021).
