“That was really special,” Coker told assembled media after the event. “I’ve been in the fight game a long time and for him to really deliver in his hometown in front of all of his fans, it was really fun to watch. It was a real special night and like I said, being a promoter for so long there’s a few times that just capture that moment in time and really this was that night....He’s here and he’s proud to be here, all his people here, it was just an amazing night. Wow. Unbelievable.”
...."he threw some combinations at Tim that I was like, man, his hand speed is still there. His twitch speed is still there. He proved it. He proved to me he’s still the greatest of all time. ...“I was sitting around [Bellator Europe executive] David Green, and [American Kickboxing Academy coach] Javier Mendez, and Khabib [Nurmagomedov], and we were just talking about how, ‘Jesus. Unbelievable at 45 he can still bring it like that.’ It’s unbelievable, it’s like time just stopped for him.”
Coker's right as usual. For Fedor to walk into Moscow at 45 years old against a dangerous and much bigger opponent and obliterate him in the first round really is amazing. It will be sad when he's officially done but thankfully FedorTeam is going strong with many great fighters.
