Troid amach as Stary Oskol, Réigiún Belgorod, Rúis, Fedor Emelianenko enters the Heavyweight World Grand Prix Finals on the heels of consecutive first-round knockouts over Chael Sonnen agus Frank Mir in the tourney’s semifinals and opening round, faoi seach. Iar-Chluiche Meáchain Trom PRIDE FC agus PRIDE 2004 Curadh Domhanda Grand Prix Meáchan Trom, “The Last Emperor” is now one win away from claiming Bellator gold. Tugtar “The GOAT” air go minic ag lucht leanúna ar fud an domhain, his career resume stands as one of the most impressive in the history of the sport with victories over AntônioRodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Mark Hunt, Mark Coleman agus Andrei Arlovski, a ainm a lua. Le 29 buanna gairme ag críochnú trí chríochnú, the punching power and world-class Sambo of the stoic Russian could result in yet another accolade in his illustrious career.
Attempting to become a simultaneous two-division titleholder, Ryan Bader’s path to the rare achievement is nearly complete. In his quest to earn the moniker of “Champ-Champ” and cement his status in the pound-for-pound standings, the Reno, Nev.-native KO’d “King Mo” Lawal i 15 seconds and later dominated Matt Mitrione in the Semifinals of the Heavyweight World Grand Prix. Fighting out of Gilbert, Ariz., the former two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler from Arizona State University began his professional career with a 12-fight unbeaten streak and by winning season eight of An Comhraiceoir deiridh. “Darth” continued his path of dominance by collecting victories over some of the 205-pound division’s top talent, including wins over former world champions “Rampage” Jackson, Rashad Evans, Phil Davis and Rafael “Feijão” Cavalcante, as well as Ovince Saint Preux, Vinny Magalhães and Linton Vassell.
