Fedor Emelianenko After original plans had Fedor Emelianenko returning to the Rizin Fighting Federation ring in April, it appears “The Last Emperor” now won’t see action until later in the year.

Emelianenko’s comeback fight revealed little about his place in the sport since Singh was a significantly overmatched opponent
