How to watch Bellator 290: Ryan Bader vs. Fedor Emelianenko for free
Ryan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko will square off in the main event of Bellator 290, as the heavyweight icon Emelianenko says goodbye to the world of MMA after this fight. Bader, the defending champion, is putting his title on the line in this much-anticipated rematch but a victory will not persue the challenger to stay. If he defeats Bader for the title, Emelianenko will still retire.
That alone makes this a must-see show, but Emelianenko’s Fedor Team compatriot, Anatoly Tokov, will look to win the Bellator middleweight championship from Johnny Eblen. Should Emelianenko and Tokov both win, then Fedor Team will hold three titles, with Vadim Nemkov the current light heavyweight champion in Bellator.
