MMA Legend Fedor Emelianenko had a rough night in the cage on Saturday as he was knocked out in just 35-seconds courtesy of Ryan Bader.
Fighters took to social media to share their thoughts on the fallen Emperor and new Bellator champion.
Wow @ryanbader ------------ , I am legit sad to see the last emperor go out like that , but Bader’s run in Bellator has been nothing short of incredible. This guy is killing shit , way to rep America.

It’s sad to see a legend lose like this. Always a fan. Fedor is the greatest ever no matter what happened. #Bellator214
