Bellator 269 winner ‘Baby Fedor’ relieved by impressive showing on Emelianenko’s card in Moscow

BAD MMA News — Sun, 24 Oct 2021 14:24:27 +0000

With the nickname “Baby Fedor,” you can imagine the significance of Kirill Sidelnikov earning a win while sharing a card with the legend himself, Fedor Emelianenko. Sidelnikov (13-6 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) was impressive Saturday at Bellator 269 as he pummeled Rab Truesdale for a TKO win in the first round of their heavyweight bout at VTB Arena in Moscow. The victory marked Sidelnikov’s first fight in two years and his first finish in almost six years. The fact that it happened on the same night Emelianenko headlined ( and won impressively ), and in front of his home country fans, made it that much sweeter.
