Bellator 290 saw the retirement of Fedor Emelianenko after his losing effort against heavyweight champion Ryan Bader. However, the event also had another memorable event. One fan in attendance at the event was found creating trouble. He also nearly came to stumble on MMA legend, Josh Barnett as he was escorted out by security.

The Bellator 290 event was a memorable one, not just because of the farewell of Fedor Emelianenko, but also due to impressive wins by Ryan Bader and Johnny Elben on the main card. Other MMA legends also joined ‘The Last Emperor’ after his match with Bader ended. However, the highlight from a video of a drunk fan made the rounds on social media. The incident was recorded by a former UFC light Heavyweight Champion, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson.

After the security pinned him down, the drunk fan still persistently resisted his ejection from the arena. Moreover, as the fan resisted, he stumbled onto Josh Barnett, who was sitting at ringside. However, the security dragged him by his leg out of the arena. It was one of the most memorable moments of the event.
