SAITAMA, JAPAN – Fedor Emelianenko became the first since 2005 to stop Quinton Jackson with strikes on Saturday when he picked up an opening-round finish in the Bellator 237 main event. Then, he retired from MMA. Emelianenko’s (38-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) speed advantage far exceeded anything a heavy, slow-moving Jackson (38-14 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) was prepared for as he put together smooth striking combinations before landing a fight-ending haymaker that dropped “Rampage” face-first into the canvas inside three minutes
