LOS ANGELES – All that’s left for Ryan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko is to run it back.
Bader is set to put his heavyweight title on the line in a rematch with Emelianenko as the two headline the promotion’s CBS debut Saturday night at Bellator 290 from Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Their second encounter comes four years after Bader needed just 35 seconds to TKO Emelianenko to win the heavyweight grand prix and championship. Bellator 290 marks the retirement fight for the 46-year-old Emelianenko.
On Friday at the ceremonial weigh-ins, Bader and Emelianenko had their final faceoff. You can watch it in the video above.
