Khabib almost booked Fedor for a fight

Khabib has long been an admirer of Emelianenko’s career and legacy. In fact, it can be recalled that “The Eagle” tried to book “The Last Emperor” for a massive clash with former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos at Eagle FC in 2022. Unfortunately, the fight did not materialize.

Emelianenko last fought in 2023 when he lost to Ryan Bader in their rematch at Bellator 290 via first-round TKO. On the other hand, Khabib has been retired since 2021.

Usman and Makhachev, meanwhile, have been enjoying their primes. They are the reigning champions of the lightweight divisions of their respective promotions – Usman at PFL and Makhachev in the UFC.
