Fedor Emelianenko was knocked down early into his fight against Frank Mir at Bellator 198, but was able to turn things around quickly and score a KO victory moments later in the night’s main event. On Twitter, pro fighters celebrated Fedor’s 48-second win, which sees him advance to the heavyweight Grand Prix semifinals against Chael Sonnen.
.@thefrankmir and #Fedor @spike. The term LEGEND is thrown out a lot. Tonight we have TWO LEGENDS doing battle in the cage.
