Fedor Emelianenko fans are out in force at Bellator 183 – and they even wore sweaters

The first 5,000 fans to enter the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., for tonight’s Bellator 183 event received a specialized bobblehead of legendary heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko.

Several pairs of fans took things a step further, though, arriving to the event wearing Emelianenko’s (36-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) iconic “Glorious Sweater of Absolute Victory,” of which Emelianenko absolutely approves.

Check out the ode to the former PRIDE heavyweight champion below.

Emelianenko is not competing at Bellator 183, but he is in attendance at the event. The Russian is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Matt Mitrione at Bellator NYC in June.
