Fedor Emelianenko: My next Rizin fight will be in April

"The Last Emperor" wishes to get back on his saddle in a few more months.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Fedor Emelianenko returned with a vengeance to the heavyweight division of a sport he ran roughshod over for close to a decade.

"The Last Emperor" took out former K-1 kickboxer, Jaideep Singh, with an onslaught of ground and pound three minutes into their Rizin Fighting Federation (RFF) main event spot on New Year's Eve (Thurs., Dec. 31, 2015) in Saitama, Japan. It was the Russian's fourth consecutive victory and first since June 2012.

With a quick and decisive stoppage under his belt, Emelianenko told RSport.
