Nikita Burtchak, manager Alexandra Emelianenko said “ that after meeting Sergey Erkaev, I would like to see the Russian fighter’s fight with Brazilian Antonio Silva, after which you can think of a rematch with Vyacheslav Datsik.
On Sunday, it became known that Emelianenko, 41, will fight on Nov. 6 under MMA rules with pop martial arts promotion head Yerkaev. At the end of September, Emelianenko in the 13th second lost to Datsik according to the rules of boxing.
– Objectively, we understand that the level of opposition (for the fight of November 6) is not so serious. But the task is elsewhere. In my memory, this is the first fight of the head of the promotion with a professional athlete. Alexander is eager to fight, he wants to rehabilitate. And this proposal was the closest. I would call this fight media-interesting – to work, to breathe. Show that Alexander has regained speed.
Can the opposition criticize such a choice? The criticism of Alexandre never stopped, we got used to it. Alexander has to fight 1-2 fights in front of a more serious opponent, for whom I would like to see Bigfoot (nickname of Silva – approximately). And after that, arrange another fight and then think about a rematch with Datsik, Burchak told .
Emelianenko has 28 wins and nine losses in his MMA career, one fight ended in a draw.
