Bellator president Scott Coker spoke about Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko, who announced the end of his career after his fight with Ryan Bader at Bellator 290.
Every fight of Fedor was a big event. When he announced the end of his career, I told him it was an honor to promote his fights. Fedor is a true champion, and to me he's the greatest heavyweight of all time.
