It's kinda sad to think that not so long in the near future there won't be anymore matchups that take us back to the Pride FC era. We're looking at the last of the mohicans here. #Bellator237

Well… it was clear who trained hard for this one. Clean shot from Fedor, who looks primed for this retirement tour. #BellatorJapan

Even at 43 Fedor still has that hand speed!

It’s OK if “Rampage” never fights again TBH.

If this is truly the end of the road for Fedor, it's been an incredible career and I'm honored to have been a part of it over the last ten years or so. No doubt in my mind- the heavyweight GOAT. The Last Emperor. pic.twitter.com/HOTIIUY2RF
