Fedor Emelianenko put one last victory on his record at Bellator 237, easily stopping Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the first round. Barely making the heavyweight limit, Jackson had no answer for the hand speed of Fedor, who picked away at a defenseless Rampage. Fedor stopped Rampage with a clean right hand.
Following the bout, Fedor seemingly announced his retirement from the sport. Should this be his last fight, Fedor will end his career with 39 victories to just six losses and one no contest. Here's how fighters reacted to the fight and Fedor's retirement.
Rampage is eating good these days . Lawdddddd ... --
