The father of the UFC lightweight champion Habib Nurmagomedov Abdulmanap shared his opinion on the defeat of Fedor Emelianenko from Ryan Beider in the final Bellator Grand Prix match. He also spoke about the future career of the Russian.
“I regret that it happened. We all waited for the victory of Fedor. Perhaps it was just a case - one exact hit that decided the outcome of the battle. I have said before that Fedor will have a hard time fighting with Bader. But I really wanted him to win this final. We really missed the champion in Bellator. He could win in the tournament. That would be a great career end.
I can not say whether Fedor had any health problems because I do not know the situation from the inside. But I think, after all, he was not in the best shape. Should he end his career? It all depends on the health and the decision that the team will make. He’s not alone. It would be nice to organize his fight with Mirko Krokop. This fight should be done in Russia, ”said Nurmagomedov in an interview with the Championship correspondent Ivan Kovalev.
