Nikita Burchak, manager of a Russian MMA fighter Alexandra Emelianenko in a conversation with , he said that the athlete in an impromptu fight with Vyacheslav Datsik received a leg injury, but this injury does not threaten the duel in November.
On November 6, Emelianenko will fight under the rules of MMA with the head of pop martial arts promotion Sergey Yerkaev. At the end of September, the 41-year-old fighter lost to Datsik in the 13th second under boxing rules. On Monday, a video appeared on social media in which Datsik knocks down Emelianenko.
“We shouldn’t have been present at this particular press conference with Vyacheslav Datsik,” started a conversation with . – We had a verbal agreement that we, under the contract, would attend such activities one week after the fight itself. But as you can imagine, much more time has passed. Alexander also fell ill. But we were asked to come to this conference, and we accepted. And at the press conference, Alexander received an offer for such a “fighting minute” or fight. And for some reason Sasha agreed, Datsik also agreed to this. This was not discussed or agreed with me. For the moment, I have not heard of the agreements. In the end, what we got.
Naturally, I am unhappy with the turn things are taking. There are no questions for the organizers, because Sasha agreed to take part in the press conference, and, in principle, everything took place with voluntary consent. Sasha thought it would be a joke, and Datsik immediately went to knead. And in the end, such a thing, which, as I understand it, was supposed to be a joke, ended with an injury to Emelianenko’s leg. And that’s the most annoying thing.
– How serious is the injury? Does this damage threaten the November 6 fight?
– No, nothing threatens the duel on the 6th, almost everything is healed.
– Tell us about Emelianenko’s preparation for the upcoming fight.
– We decided to conduct training in Moscow. After the fight with Datsik, Sasha is in great shape. And now he works close to home.
Training does not take place with me now (Burchak was Emelianenko’s training partner during the preparation for Datsik – “”). Yerkaev’s legs fly well, and I’m deprived of such talent. And now Sasha has different training partners, fast and light.
– At the same time, Emelianenko played a wedding last weekend.
– We have the feeling that it was the wedding that crowned all our work for the year. I never tire of paying attention to the transformation of Alexander, and now he had a great sober wedding. I am very happy. And at the moment we can not worry about possible failures of Alexander. These are the fruits of our team’s work.
