#3 Fedor Emelianenko
The legendary, former Pride FC Heavyweight Champion, Fedor Emelianenko is enjoying something of an Indian summer in his MMA career since he returned to the sport back in December 2015, with three wins and one loss to inflate his impressive overall MMA record to 37-5-1.
Emelianenko only signed with Bellator in 2017 but his most recent victory versus former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Frank Mir has put him on course to win the vacant Bellator Heavyweight Championship.

Emelianenko will next face Chael Sonnen in a Semi-Final bout which he will be expected to win before he can challenge for the crown.
Few would bet against the Russian however. The 41-year old has been proving doubters wrong for years. He is and will be an even greater success in his new home of Bellator for as long as he chooses to compete.
