Fedor Emelianenko Stuns Frank Mir With Round One KO, Pros react

Fedor Emelianenko is back stronger than ever. The legendary Fedor managed to knock out former UFC fighter Frank Mir in the first round to move on to the semifinals of Bellator’s heavyweight tournament.

MMAjunkie recapped:

Emelianenko went to the center of the cage and then backed away when Mir threw a kick. Seconds later, Mir landed a right hand and put Emelianenko on the canvas. But Emelianenko worked through it and returned to slam Mir to the canvas.

After that, the two went back to the center – and that’s when all hell broke loose, and not in Mir’s favor. With Mir coming forward throwing a barrage of punches, Emelianenko calmly backed up and planted a left uppercut squarely on Mir’s chin. Mir fell face first to the canvas, and Emelianenko pounced on him with several punches on the canvas until referee Mike Beltran shut things down.

The end came just 48 seconds after the fight began.

Chael Sonnen quickly piped in:

“I think the only thing I hate more than being in Chicago is being in this cage with you,” Sonnen said to Emelianenko. “And the next time I am, I assure you it will not be for long.”
