Earlier this morning Fedor Emelianenko made his successful return to MMA as he picked up a TKO win over Jaideep Singh in the very 1st round of their Rizin FF main event bout.
Immediately, the MMA world went wild with talks of “Fedor’s back!”
Understandably the Twitter-verse blew up. Below is a compilation of Tweets from fighters who watched the bout.
All the best Fedor. I'm up and watching the fights before my training. Great pre-show. #rizin 10am/9c on @spike. pic.twitter.com/lx6OJqZcnn
