[autotag]Fedor Emelianenko[/autotag] failed to achieve the fairytale end to his career on Saturday when he lost his title rematch to [autotag]Ryan Bader[/autotag] in the Bellator 290 headliner.
Emelianenko (40-7 MMA, 4-3 BMMA), the legendary former PRIDE champion, came up short in his bid to claim heavyweight gold in his retirement fight when he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Bader (31-7 MMA, 9-2 BMMA) at Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. “The Last Emperor” closes his career on a low, but it takes nothing away from his career achievements.
