“I really wanted Fedor to fight his retirement fight not in front of just the officials and have the staff and be on a closed environment in a bubble,” Coker recently told MMA Junkie. “I really want Fedor to finish his career in front of 30,000 people in Moscow, to be honest, Bellator MMA’s first fight in Russia. Do a fight in Moscow..."
“Not only would he fight, but all the guys that we have, like (light heavyweight champion Vadim) Nemkov and like (Anatoly) Tokov and all those great fighters from Moscow that are fighting for Bellator, they will also fight on the card, and we’ll do maybe a ‘Russia vs. the world’ match there and you’ll see some fighters from Europe,” Coker said. “We’ll have a great event.”
If Bellator showcased all of their Russiam fighters in a Russia vs the world, this could be a badass event.
Fedor vs another aging legend
Bader vs Minakov
Tokov vs van Steenis
Koreshkov vs Paul Daley
Berkhamov vs J. Jackson
Magomedov vs Mix
A lot of possibilities.
