Eagle FC League President Shamil Zavurov supported Khabib Nurmagomedov’s desire to arrange a fight between MMA legend Russian Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC champion Brazilian Junior dos Santos.
Earlier, the owner of the Eagle FC promotion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, spoke in favor of organizing a fight between dos Santos and Emelianenko.
Yes, it was Khabib’s idea. He personally communicates with Bellator President Scott Cocker. I think that if they agree, we can have this fight both in Eagle FC and in Bellator. Or in a joint tournament. Joint tournaments are a normal practice in the world of MMA. For example, we have been holding a tournament in memory of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov together with Fight Nights for two years now. The fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Junior dos Santos is a very cool fight, and any format is acceptable here, ”Zavurov said in an interview with RT.
38-year-old dos Santos has suffered 4 defeats in his last 4 fights. He won his last victory on March 9, 2019 over Derrick Lewis.
Emelianenko, 45, has 40 wins and 6 losses. The last victory of Fedor is dated October 23, 2021, when Tim Johnson was defeated.

I have been working as a sports journalist for about 6 years now. I currently work as an author at Sportish, which is a sports news website.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder He stated that he was confident about his victory against Alexander Usyk, the owner of the WBC, WBA and IBF championships.
The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.
“This will be a big thing for me and people will be shocked. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I’m going to shake the world, too. And I’ll do it again,” Wilder said.
Previously, Alexander Usik (24-0, 15 KOs), the holder of the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg), talked about his plans and admitted when he plans to end his professional career. The boxer recently vacated his WBO title and lost his status as absolute world champion.

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.
“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.
Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.
