The Russian’s manager Ivan Emelianenko Nikita Burchak, in a conversation with , said that the fighter seriously approached the preparations for his first fight in mixed martial arts.
The debut of the younger brother of Fedor and Alexander Emelianenko will take place on May 26 in Moscow in a duel with a representative of the pop industry Alexei Ledenev. In pop MMA, Ledenev has three wins and one loss.
Vanya is in great shape. To my surprise, after a long downtime, he very quickly rolled into the rhythm. I will not hide that there was a certain “rust” due to the lack of experience in speaking. I think we have it all covered. Ivan fought with good young guys in Yekaterinburg. We practiced a lot of things related to stalls, because the opponent is a good judoka. In addition, they practiced work on their hands, worked on distance.
I really like watching the positive dynamic in Vanya’s preparation. He reminds me of both Fedor and Alexander – both in style and in movement. We are serious. I expect Ivan to win, but anything can happen in a fight. That’s why we love martial arts,” Burchak told .
Live broadcasts of mixed martial arts tournaments can be seen on the federal channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
