“This is the best option at the moment” – Emelyanov on the appointment of Fedor Emelianenko to the post of head of the MMA Union of Russia

The return of Fedor Emelianenko to the post of president of the MMA Union of Russia is the best option for the development of this sport in Russia, says Georgy Emelyanov, head coach of the country’s youth team.

– On June 14, the election of the President of the MMA Union of Russia was held, which was won by Fedor Emelianenko. And this despite the fact that initially the head of the Omsk federation Andrey Terentyev, who later withdrew his candidacy in favor of the “Last Emperor”, had to compete with Radmir Gabdullin.

– We communicate very closely with Andrei Viktorovich. I knew that Emelianenko himself nominated him for the presidency of the union. But I did not think that such a castling could happen at the last moment.

– Speaking about the arrival of Emelianenko, how do you assess this decision in general?

– I think this is the best option at the moment. I think that Emelianenko should remain president. Perhaps a certain circle of people will appear who will solve pressing issues. But Fedor should be at the head, – RT quotes Emelyanov.

Emelianenko has 40 wins and 6 losses in his MMA career.

    INOUE: “I’m tired. I had to prepare very hard for these 4 matches in a year.”

    Japanese boxer after fight in Riyadh Naoya Inoue He shared his impressions of his victory over Mexican David Picasso (119–109, 120–108, 117–111):

    “Honestly, I’m tired. The point wasn’t that I had four fights a year, it was that I had to prepare very hard for each of those four fights. When you’re in this process, you tolerate it because you only think about the fight, but now that it’s over, I see that I definitely gave it everything I had.”

    “I don’t want to disrespect Picasso, but I wanted to show the difference between us a little more clearly and knock him out. I couldn’t meet the expectations and I couldn’t box the way I wanted. Nothing has been decided yet, but I would be happy to organize a fight that will excite the whole of Japan.”

    Japanese Junto Nakatani He talked about his victory over Sebastian Hernandez (118-110, 115-113, 115-113):

    “This fight was an experience for me. I moved up to this weight class to win a championship, so if I get that chance, I want to take it.”
