Former Pride FC heavyweight kingpin, Fedor Emelianenko may be set for a stunning return to combat sports with the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) — as far as promotional stakeholder, Conor McGregor, who claims an “announcement” regarding the Russian is set to be revealed soon.
Emeliananko, a former Pride FC heavyweight champion and Grand Prix victor, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career back in February 2023, dropping a Bellator MMA heavyweight title fight loss against UFC alum, Ryan Bader via a first round knockout loss inside three minutes.
And while news on the Russian’s fighting front has been non-existent since his retirement two years ago, Emelianenko may be set for a stunning comeback to combat sports, with the above-mentioned McGregor teasing a potential move to the ring with the BKFC.
