Despite the defeat in his last fight with Ryan Bader, many famous representatives of mixed martial arts personally and on social networks supported Fedor Emelianenko.
Colleagues, coaches and experts called him one of the best fighters in the world and a real MMA legend.
But the head of the UFC, Dana White, refused to recognize Fedor as one of the best, believing that he should have left the octagon earlier.
“I don’t want to talk badly about a person, today Emelianenko is ending his career. People loved him, praised him, but he never tried himself in the UFC, where the best of the best are gathered. Accordingly, I have never been a person who considers him one of the greatest,” said the businessman.
