Bellator 214 in Tweets: Pros react to Ryan Bader vs. Fedor Emelianenko, Henry Corrales vs. Aaron Pico, more

Fedor Emelianenko lost in 35 seconds to Ryan Bader at Bellator 214.

Ryan Bader made history Saturday night at Bellator 214.

With a thunderous 35-second knockout of MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko, Bader not only took top honors in Bellator’s heavyweight grand prix and captured the promotion’s vacant heavyweight title, he also became the first-ever simultaneous two-division champion in Bellator history — and he did it with ease. One lead left hook was enough to down the Russian titan, who at 42 years old may be nearing the end of a fabled MMA career.

Check out reaction to Bader’s big win below, plus the best of the rest from a wild night at Bellator 214 that also saw Henry Corrales stun Aaron Pico via first-round knockout.
