Earlier this morning fight fans witnessed the impressive return of Fedor Emelianenko.
‘The Last Emperor’ managed to pick up an impressive 1st round TKO win over a much larger Jaideep Singh. Of course after the bout the MMA community as well as most of Twitter went wild with talks of “Fedor’s back!”
One interesting thing that we noticed however, is that many Bellator MMA fighters were promoting Fedor’s fight on Twitter, all of them using a very similar Tweet.
For example:

Coincidence? Or could it be that Bellator MMA is going to sign Fedor now that he has successfully made his return?
It isn’t out of the realm of possibility given Fedor’s relationship with Bellator MMA President Scott Coker, which dates back to the days when Fedor fought in Strikeforce.
In addition, Fedor left the door open for more fights after this one in an interview prior to this fight.
