Jeff Monson (USA) vs Fedor Emelianenko (Russia) | MMA Fight, HD Highlights

As they anticipate the entrance of Fedor and Melonenko. The opportunity that M1 Global has given him to show them that one of the last emperor, Fedor and Melonenko coming here to take on Jeff Monson is first. And the winner is... Monson! Fedor and Melonenko! The final instructions by the referee. Melonenko taking off. The snowman. Monson operating out of the southpaw stance. And right away, Monson going to try to take it to the ground. He's going to give it back. It's his personal goal. And you see the quickness of Monson as he has tasted a couple of left hands in the right area of his nose. He seems to be coming at you downhill. Two kicks in a row right there again by Wade Menden. And Monson eventually now trying to kick that to the ground. You see Fedor right on top. And here's with the Sambo skills. Monson's jiu-jitsu skills take hold. Final 30 seconds of round number one. And Monson... Come to a close. And it's been that kick. That left kick of Fedor Melonenko that has counted 27 kicks that have been landed. That left kick right to the outside. And now you go with that right hand. Just missed, but you see the nose. Blood started coming from the nose of Monson. It was that left. Last emperor in my books. How'd you score it? Oh, absolutely. Fedor did everything. Emperor Melonenko. Round number two. In the red trunks. Good right hand. Good right hand that knocks down Monson. Fedor can do him. Dove right in after he heard him and dove into a triangle. And again, try to... Monson. Good right hand. Taking some time. Now you can see the blood starting to pile on Monson. Trying to drop that hand. But you can see that... Still, Fedor able to just move and stay back. Monson, I asked him about his striking kick. Monson now tasting his own blood. Is that blood coming through his mouth? Through his nose? Again, adrenaline pumped out of Monson keeping him from feeling that pain. But definitely, it's going to cripple him. Fedor, ever the patient one. Like a striking mongoose. Showing the marksmanship of the striking ability of Fedor Emelianenko. Another right hand. On the lip. Now to see if Monson can succeed. Maybe too late here for Monson. In a decent spot there. Tremendous patience, Jeremy. Absolutely. He's laying in hard shots. He's sticking to his game plan. He's not diving into the ground. And that gets him knocked out. And there you see some of that action right there. And again, so good to go down. And just wait there. Yeah, you know what I mean. If you're not able to take the guy down, is that going to win the fight for you? No, it's not. Certainly not. It's just a tactic to try to get a hold of the guy. But you've got to be careful. Jeff Monson, when he gets down there to try to get any kind of advantage right there. This is round number three. The third and final round. As they shake hands. Cripple here before the night is over. Trying for a big uppercut. What's that, Malenko? Not changing the angle. Trying to end it. And there's that. Good right hand right on the bridge of the nose. And Monson right there. But it may allow Monson to get in. And now Monson comes in with a kick. And down goes Monson off that. He's just barely hanging there now from those shots. He's doing a job throwing kicks, but not going to it too much. He's mixing his hands on that. Sometimes he has to respond. That's it. I'm telling you, that leg is going to be excellent. And Jeremy, that overhand right there. Now comes with the uppercut. But he's not lunging. He's not lunging at all. That lift is badly cut. There's blood coming. Bader just contemplating. And the body now, the doctor now, making his way. Referee, Yushi Shimai. Let's see some of the action here in round number three. Trying to get a takedown at Jeff Monson. He's stepping aside. Monson's not setting it up at all. He's just diving in. And like I said, Bader's a great wrestler himself. So he's able to sprawl if it's not going to be a problem. Doctor saying to continue. Now let's see if Jeff Monson now has a sense of urgency. Just go in there and try to takedown Bader once and for all. Bader on the other hand's a hand still as quick as ever. Now, combinations here by Bader. Landing. Monson trying to go back down. The face of Monson is a mess. The emperor is picking on Jeff Monson. And what he did was fight a very strategic fight. He landed on the right thigh of Jeff Monson. That to me was the key. Bader Emilianenko! Bader Emilianenko now gets his 32nd win. Has a red and white belt in Sambo. A very accomplished fighter. He's a Russian hero by nature. Congratulations, Bader. The emperor continues to raid all of his kids now. Taking his lovely wife. Breaks the three rising stars. One after another. And I don't know if I got all those names right, but I'll give it a hit. You yourself, who have gone through the rough way of going through your particular career. Let's go back down to do a wrap-up here of this fight. Jeff Monson making his way. Bader Emilianenko. In the corner with his brother. Alexander Emilianenko. Bader Emilianenko as a striker. Jeff Monson trying to succeed. Bader Emilianenko just did a great job. The striking ability of Bader Emilianenko. Right hand. The cut. The first cut. And the blood came from the nose of Monson. And hang in there. That's how severe the cut was. And it was from those shots. He's got the same expression on his face. Before, after, and during every fight. Now these are the 27 kicks that I counted. But the 27 kicks that landed on the right thigh. There's that sweep. And you see right there. Just literally crumbling. All over. The chest cut. And the nose of Jeff Monson. That did not stop Bader. Ecology might wonder about what he should do now. At the age of 40. But a fighter to quit seems to be the hardest thing to do. And there you see him being helped off the stage.
