MIAMI – If all goes according to plan, Fedor Emelinaneko will fight once more in his native Russia, and Bellator wants to make it an extra special occasion. Bellator president Scott Coker said the promotion is currently targeting a summer date in Moscow, where he promises to host a “massive” send-off for the all-time great. “I think that we’re planning something really, you know, large-scale event in Russia for him as his farewell, sending off as far as having this illustrious career being the greatest heavyweight of all time,” Coker told MMA Junkie. The 45-year-old Emelianenko (40-6 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) headlined this past month’s Bellator 269 event in Russia, where he scored a devastating first-round knockout over Tim Johnson
