Fedor Emelianenko reportedly has his NYE opponent set for the upcoming Rizin card, and it will not be against the now 2-0, Jaideep Singh as initially rumored. According to Inside MMA, he will be booked for a third bout for an older vet he already faced twice in Japan.
Sources close to Inside MMA & @BasRuttenMMA say Fedor Emelianenko will fight Tsuyoshi Kohsaka in a rubber match New Year’s Eve in Japan.

If you think the 39-year-old Emelianenko is past his prime, the now 45-year-old TK will be returning to active competition after being long retired.
