Manager of Alexander Emelianenko Nikita Burchak spoke about the next fight of the Russian fighter, noting that the offer came immediately after the fight with Vyacheslav Datsik.
Earlier it became known that 41-year-old Emelianenko on November 6 will fight according to the rules of MMA with the head of the pop martial arts promotion Sergey Yerkaev. At the end of September, Emelianenko, at the 13th second, lost to Datsik according to boxing rules.
– They specifically made this fight to attract attention to themselves: they want people to know both about their organization and about Yerkaev himself. The offer came almost immediately after the defeat from Vyacheslav Datsik. As I understand it, Sergey, having seen a quick knockout, decided that Alexander was not in the best shape and today is not the most dangerous opponent, whom he will easily pass, – RT Burchak quotes.
