Emelianenko against the World: experts named the favorite

The famous mixed martial arts fighter Fedor Emelianenko will fight the American Frank Mir on April 29. The 41-year-old Russian and his 38-year-old opponent will meet in the quarterfinals of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix.

Predicting who will be the winner is very difficult. Both opponents are experienced age fighters, according to Russian MMA fighter Vitaly Minakov.

“I think Fedor has a good chance of success in the battle with the World. It is faster and much more versatile than its rival. If Emelianenko can implement his plan for this fight, then he will succeed. He is a more versatile fighter, more explosive. The world is inferior to Fedor in many aspects. Nevertheless, it is difficult to single out a clear favorite,” Minakov told Izvestia.

Fight Fedor Emelianenko and Frank Mir watch online

Fedor Emelianenko, a Russian MMA fighter, will fight American Chael Sonnen to reach the Bellator 208 Heavyweight Grand Prix Final at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, on Saturday, October 13th.

Recently, a duel of views took place between Emelianenko and Sonnen. Before the duel, the fighters held open training. Emelianenko vs. Sonnen will be the main event of Saturday night. It is worth noting that the fight in Russia will be shown on Sunday, October 14, due to the time difference with New York (7 hours).

The fight in the USA will take place on Saturday, October 13 at approximately 9:00 pm ET. In Russia at this time it will already be Sunday, October 14, around 4 am. The fight will be broadcast live on Match TV on Sunday, October 14. The broadcast starts at 4 am Moscow time.

Fedor Emelianenko joined Bellator in 2017 and has since lost to Matt Mitrione and won against Frank Mir in just two fights in the last two years. Before that, after a series of defeats in 2010-2011, he was doing well - Fedor had five victories in a row - over Fabio Maldonado, Singh Jaidip, Pedro Rizzo, Satoshi Ishii and Jeff Monson.

Emelianenko is already 41 years old, but his opponent is also older, moreover, the fighters converge in all the main parameters, but Fedor is still a little more powerful and stronger. Fedor traditionally treats his opponent with respect and is unlikely to underestimate, although Sonnen is not invincible with 15 defeats in the octagon and one draw. By by and large, only an underestimation of the opponent can prevent Fedor Emelianenko from reaching the final of the Bellator Grand Prix.

Chael Partick Sonnen is an American fighter nicknamed "American Gangster", and also - " People's Champion". Sonnen is 42 years old and in MMA he fought 42 fights, winning 30 of them. Sonnen specializes in the vale tudo, an exotic mixed martial arts style made famous by the Brazilians Anderson and Wanderlei Silva.

Initially, Sonnen fought at middleweight, but eventually moved up to heavyweight. Interestingly, he lost twice to Anderson Silva, but most recently defeated Wanderlei by decision.

Fedor Emelianenko will be the favorite in the fight with Chael Sonnen, but experts leave chances to the American. There is one underlying reason in this fight that will not let Emelianenko relax - Sonnen stated that Fedor took part in contractual fights during the Pride days, to which only Emelianenko's coach Vladimir Voronov reacted, saying that his ward would prove Sonnen wrong in the octagon.

Sergey Kharitonov, who will enter the ring a day earlier, noted that in his opinion the fight between Emelianenko and Sonenna will be similar to what we could see in the fight against Frank Mir and Fedor will win by knockout - perhaps even in the first round. Sonnen is a very fast fighter, but Emelianenko has hit harder, and on the ground he will have an advantage, since Fedor was engaged in sambo, and Sonnen specializes more in jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.

Sonnen is trying to piss off Fedor with various nonsense that he traditionally carries before the fight, but Emelianenko is not the kind of fighter who can be hooked with at least something. In terms of psychological stability, Fedor has no equal in mixed martial arts, and most importantly, he is simply better than Sonnen as a fighter.

The Pari-Match bookmaker sees Fedor Emelianenko as the clear favorite of the fight - they give a coefficient of 1.39 for his victory, while for Sonnen - 3.25. If we talk about what remains the favorite of the Bellator Grand Prix, then here bookmakers prefer Ryan Bader - 2.25, seeing him as Emelianenko's competitor - 2.5, and Matt Mitrion and Chael Sonnen - underdogs.

This fight is highly likely to end with an early victory for Fedor Emelianenko, but this is unlikely to happen in the first round - Sonnen still does not belong to the category of passing opponents. Therefore, it makes sense to bet in the Liga Stavok bookmaker for the duration of the battle - more than 1.5 rounds for 1.85.

As for the bets and predictions for the upcoming Saturday fight, most bookmakers give preference to the Russian fighter. The victory of Fedor Emelianenko is quoted with a coefficient of 1.4. The victory of the American is estimated at 3.2 points.

Fedor Emelianenko will have his 43rd fight in his 18-year career. He has 37 wins and 5 losses. American Sonnen has 30 wins, 15 losses and 1 draw. The winner of the duel Emelianenko - Sonnen in the final for the championship belt will fight with best fighter couples Matt Mitrione - Ryan Bader. In this fight, the finalist will be determined tomorrow, October 12th.

MOSCOW, news October 8, 2018. The fight Fedor Emelianenko - Chael Sonnen will take place on October 13, 2018. The meeting of Russian and American mixed-style heavyweights Fedor Emelianenko and Chael Sonnen will take place during the semifinal match at the Bellator Grand Prix in heavyweight(Bellator 208).

The meeting place for the fighters was the Nassau Coliseum, a multi-purpose indoor arena in Uniondale, New York.

Bellator, in the year of its tenth year, organized a tournament of the strongest heavyweights with existing contracts. This decision is intended to revive interest in the fighters of the elite weight category, which faded somewhat due to the fact that there was no full-fledged champion in the organization in 2017.

A similar decision by Bellator caused a mixed reaction even among fans of mixed martial arts. On the one hand, people liked that veterans showed up for interesting tournament, but on the other hand, it seems that the time of these fighters is long gone. Holding a similar competition ten years ago would have been ideal. Now they can cause, except perhaps nostalgic feelings. It is clear that all the strongest perform in the UFC, and none of the current Bellator heavyweight card would even enter the Top 5 there.

When the fight Fedor Emelianenko - Chael Sonnen

The bout between the fighters will take place on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 9:00 pm ET. Due to the time difference, for Russian fans, the fight between Emelianenko and Sonnen will begin on Sunday 14 October.

Earlier, Emelianenko won a knockout victory over American Frank Mir in the first round of the tournament for the Bellator heavyweight belt. The fight held in Chicago was short and ended with Fedor's victory in the 48th second.

In the career of 41-year-old Emelianenko, this victory was the 37th with five defeats. 38-year-old American Frank Mir lost the 12th fight with 18 wins.

American Chael Sonnen defeated American Quinton Jackson in the quarterfinals. In total, the 41-year-old Sonnen has 30 wins and 15 losses in mixed martial arts (MMA). After the duel between Emelianenko and Mir, Sonnen entered the cage to the Russian fighter and the first duel of views took place between them. Then the future rivals shook hands.

Earlier, the American media reported that on the eve of the fight in Chicago, the FBI interrogated Fedor Emelianenko.

Journalists suggest that the interest of the special services was associated with the cooperation of Emelianenko with Affliction Entertainment, which organizes MMA fights. Representatives of the athlete did not give any comments on this matter.

Prediction for the fight Fedor Emelianenko - Chael Sonnen

Sonnen, who has not the most impressive statistics (30-15-1, every second fight ends with his defeat), accused Fedor of foul play: “I do not deny that Fedor has skills, I do not deny that he is big, powerful and all that. I don't discuss his skills at all. I'm just telling you that he is very difficult to study because his fights in Japan were bogus. His opponent was told when to fall."

One of the most controversial fighters in MMA history can't boast outstanding record, or actual superstar status. Chael Sonnen is not a natural heavyweight and performed more in a category below.

In July 2012, Chael Sonnen fought Anderson Silva for the title. UFC champion in middleweight, and this was their second meeting. Fifteen career defeats, most of them by knockout, speaks to Sonnen's penetration, and here lies a big opportunity for his rivals.

At the ¼ final stage of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, Chel proved to be stronger than Quinton Jackson, defeating him by decision.

Fedor's last performance was on April 28, again at Bellator 198 against Frank Mir. Then Fedor defeated Mir in the first round. Chael Sonnen showed his fists a year ago, on June 24, 2017, defeating Wanderlei Silva.

It is worth noting that the fight between Emelianenko and Sonnen is an old dream. sports writers, and the organizers of the tournament, of course, knew about it.

In his last fights, Emelianenko met with dangerous opponents who could break through Fedor's defense and win by knockout. Sonnen shouldn't do that. Statistics speak against him, if he hits, it is unlikely that Emelianenko will stagger from his blows. In terms of speed characteristics and functional state, the fighters are approximately equal. If the confrontation goes to the ground, then here the skill speaks for Emelianenko. It is much easier to imagine a situation in which Fedor performs the elbow lever than Sonnen holds the painful favorite. It is clear that Emelianenko in last years not so good on the ground, but his opponent has not had early wins at all since 2013.

If the fight lasts the entire distance, then the judges will give the victory to Fedor by 90%, since he is a more winning candidate for the final.

Fedor Emelianenko

The "Last Emperor" did not want to leave the ring defeated. When many thought that the career of a great fighter was over, he again reminded of himself by declaring at the Bellator Grand Prix. To date, Emelianenko is the main favorite of the tournament. Russian fighter as in the old good times marked by a quick knockout.

Skeptics continue to argue that Emelianenko is long over as a professional athlete. There is some truth in these words. Fedor looks hard in the ring, misses a lot, he clearly lacks speed and endurance. Emelianenko, even in a fight with the World, almost got knocked out. All the last fights of Fedor are a lottery. The defeat in the confrontation with Matt Mitrione was from the same series. The American hit first and laid down Emelianenko.

With age, Fedor practically stopped fighting. His last fights are held in the stand, where he relies on punches. The main problem is not enough speed to dodge the blows of opponents. It is now clear that Emelianenko is not at the level of the current top fighters, but in this Grand Prix he looks competitive.

A good ending to a professional career for Emelianenko would be a victory in the Grand Prix. Most likely, regardless of the result, the tournament will be the finishing point for Fedor. It is hard to imagine that the veteran will find a new challenge to continue his career.

Emelianenko left Japan undefeated (the only defeat at that time was the stoppage of the fight by the decision of the doctor). Unfortunately, it was not possible to continue the successful series of fights in the prestigious American series. In Strikeforce, top fighters immediately exposed Fedor's problems with defense and monotonous style. Emelianenko suffered three defeats in a row. His offenders were Fabricio Werdum, Antonio Silva and Dan Henderson.

It seemed that Emelianenko's career was over, but he rebooted in interim fights in Russia, and then signed with Bellator, where he still performs.

Chael Sonnen

Sonnen is another MMA retiree. He is very far from the glory of Emelianenko, but the fighter is very respected in the world of mixed martial arts. Few people can boast of such resilience. Sonnen made his first professional MMA appearance back in 1997. Sonnen fought in the UFC for a long time, had three opportunities to win the championship belt. Sonnen had his first chance to reach the coveted award in 2010, but then Anderson Silva interrupted his victorious path, two years later Chale won the right to rematch, but again lost by knockout. The third attempt was initially doomed to failure - the last illusions were finally buried by the invulnerable John Jones.

Sonnen signed with Bellator in 2017. After the UFC, the veteran had a break of four years. Such a long period was associated with a failed doping test. In 2014, he tested positive for the presence of several illegal drugs in his blood and was suspended for two years.

Sonnen even in best years never been a bright puncher. Curiously, the last time he won by knockout with a punch was in 2007. You can’t exactly call him a master of wrestling in comparison with Emelianenko.

The meeting of Russian and American mixed-style heavyweights Fedor Emelianenko and Chael Sonnen will take place during the semifinal match at the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix (Bellator 208). The meeting place for the fighters was the Nassau Coliseum, a multi-purpose indoor arena in Uniondale, New York.

The bout will take place on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 9:00 pm ET. Due to the time difference, for Russian fans, the fight between Emelianenko and Sonnen will begin on Sunday, October 14, 2018 at 4:00 am Moscow time (the difference between Moscow and New York is 7 hours).

The confrontation between the two veterans will be held on October 14. Bellator has no plans to hold a fight or show in Russia. Emelianenko will fight for reaching the final in the USA. Around the same time, the opponent of the winner of this match for the championship belt will also be determined.

Sonnen shouldn't do that. Statistics speak against him, if he hits, it is unlikely that Emelianenko will stagger from his blows. In terms of speed characteristics and functional state, the fighters are approximately equal. If the confrontation goes to the ground, then here the skill speaks for Emelianenko.

It is much easier to imagine a situation in which Fedor performs the elbow lever than Sonnen holds the painful favorite. It is clear that Emelianenko has not been so good on the ground in recent years, but his opponent has not had early victories at all since 2013. If the fight lasts the entire distance, then the judges will give the victory to Fedor by 90%, since he is a more winning candidate for the final.

The "Last Emperor" did not want to leave the ring defeated. When many thought that the career of a great fighter was over, he again reminded of himself by declaring at the Bellator Grand Prix. To date, Emelianenko is the main favorite of the tournament. The Russian fighter, as in the good old days, was marked by a quick knockout.

The golden era of Emelianenko came at the beginning of the century, when he performed in Japan. As part of the strongest mixed martial arts organization Pride at that time, Emelianenko crushed all opponents from his path. Fedor won his most famous victory in a battle with the Croatian master Mirko Filipovich. Fans of mixed martial arts are still ready to watch that fight several times a year - it was not for nothing that it was recognized as one of the best in history.

Sonnen, even in his best years, was never a bright knockout. Curiously, the last time he won by knockout with a punch was in 2007. You can’t exactly call him a master of wrestling in comparison with Emelianenko.

Emelianenko is the favorite, there is no question at all. The Russian can cut Sonnen both in the standing position and catch him on a mistake in the stalls. Given that both fighters are the same age, in terms of endurance, they are about the same. The American is taller, but not by much. Visually, it is Emelianenko who looks more powerful and physically stronger.

It is not yet clear what tactics Sonnen will choose for the fight. His presence in the semi-finals in itself is a big surprise, and if he still manages to impose trouble on Fedor, then this will generally become a sensation. But the chances of that are frankly slim. Fighting in the octagon is not a tongue-lashing. Emelianenko should win in the first or second round by submission.

The results will be announced immediately after the end of the fight right in the octagon. The winner will go to the Grand Prix Final, which is scheduled for December 2018. The second finalist will be either Matt Mitrione or Ryan Bader. It all depends on how the Americans will hold their full-time duel.

Emelianenko - Sonnen: before the fight

41-year-old, like Emelianenko, Sonnen defeated the former UFC light heavyweight champion in the quarterfinals by unanimous decision. intcbatch weight category of Quinton Jackson, and after the fight Emelianenko Chael was in a cage Russian fighter where the first duel of views took place.

If we compare the dimensions of the fighters, then the Russian has a clear advantage in weight. The fact is that the Russian has always been a heavyweight and this is natural for him. But the "ganster" started with an average weight and then rose to heavy weights. Most of all, the advantage is expressed in striking power, because in strands, mass greatly affects the blow. At the "emperor" heavy blows from both hands, and Chel does not have such a blow to “knock out” an opponent. To do this, the American needs to hit accurately and strongly, and it’s not a fact that this is enough. When it comes to cardio, both fighters are about equal.

Chel's strongest side is wrestling, he loves to wrestle and often holds takedowns. Only now it will be extremely difficult for him to fight the Russian. Firstly, Fedor will be heavier than his opponent by about eight kilograms. Secondly, the Russian is a basic sambo wrestler and can hold an armbar or a choke, and he has excellent defense against throws.

In his last fight the American defeated another veteran on points in the quarterfinals of the Grand Prix. He just fought him, since most of the fight took place on the ground, in which our “gangster” was stronger. But our Fedor in the previous fight won by knockout in the first half of the World.
