In his final fight, Fedor Emelianenko will get his long-desired rematch. Emelianenko (40-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) is set to rematch heavyweight champion Ryan Bader (30-7 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) in the Bellator 290 main event on Feb. 4 at Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., promotion officials verified to MMA Junkie following an initial report from CBSSports.com . The event is scheduled to air on CBS, a first for the Bellator brand. Heavyweight champion Bader  needed just 35 seconds  to knock Emelianenko out when they first fought in the grand prix final in January 2019. However, the legendary former PRIDE champion has since rebounded with back-to-back first-round knockouts of Quinton Jackson and Timothy Johnson.
