Twitter reacts to Fedor Emelianenko's victory over Chael Sonnen

Russian MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko has now advanced to the final of Heavyweight Grand Prix after dominating Chael Sonnen in the first round, where he will face Ryan Bader on 26th January in Inglewood, California.

“The Last Emperor” absolutely destroyed Chael Sonnen in their Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix semifinal bout which took place in Uniondale, New York, en route to a first-round TKO.

Sonnen started aggressively but got knocked down by Fedor in the opening seconds, although he did get up, Fedor being the legend he is, dropped him almost immediately with a massive sambo toss. Both stand up again and trade wild punches when Fedor Connected with another left, and then Fedor jumped over him landing a barrage of punches which forced referee Dan Miragliotta to stop the fight at 4:46 of Round 1.

Fedor just tosses Chael aside on one takedown. Then another takedown attempt backfires and Chael is on his back. Levels. #Bellator208

There were three big shots to the back of Chael's head now.

This round is wild as hell. #Bellator208

Fedor started great, then he saw Chael was falling from every punch and started throwing single, sloppy rights. Please fight seriously.
