Eagle FC League President Shamil Zavurov did not discuss with MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko his fight with former UFC champion Brazilian Junior dos Santos.
Earlier, the head of Eagle FC promotion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, spoke in favor of organizing the fight between dos Santos and Emelianenko.
– We had no communication with Fedor regarding the fight. He has an active contract with Bellator. Therefore, Bellator management will communicate about his desire to participate. Fedor may have his own plans, there was talk that his next fight would be the last in his career. But dos Santos has yet to win his first Eagle FC fight. He will have a tough fight against Yorgan de Castro on Friday night in Miami. Let’s look at the result. If he wins confidently, wins by knockout, then the potential fight with Fedor will become even more interesting for the fans, ”Zavurov told RT.
Dos Santos, 38, has lost 4 in his last 4 fights. The 45-year-old Emelianenko has 40 victories with 6 defeats.
