Blogger Yevgeny Ershov in a conversation with admitted that two days before the fight with Alexander Emelianenko he thought about giving up the fight, but Emelianenko himself convinced him to fight.
On May 26, Emelianenko will fight under MMA rules with blogger Yevgeny Ershov. In December last year, Emelianenko lost to another blogger, Svyatoslav Kovalenko, in a boxing match wearing MMA gloves. In September, Vyacheslav Datsik knocked out Emelianenko in the 13th second of a boxing match. Emelianenko’s MMA stats are 28 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw.
– Tell us why you were late for the weigh-in procedure?
– This is a series of my omissions. I delayed the medical board. Passed the last day. Everything was busy in the MRI, I drove around the city through terrible traffic jams. Fate did everything so that I was late, so that Sasha did not run out again. Alright, I’m not going to show myself. I just delayed it out of laziness. This is a series of my lazy actions, – said Ershov “”.
– How do you like the state of Alexander Emelianenko?
– Deplorable. Compared to 2018. Although compared to the fight with Kovalenko, I think it’s a plus or a minus. If so, I will cut myself without hesitation. If it gets worse, I don’t know what I’ll do. I only find out after the first miss.
– I’m sure you’ve seen comments from the “why are you bullying a person” category.
– Who’s bullying? He is not on a leash, he comes standing. Believe me, if such a two-meter body doesn’t want something, then they won’t do it to him. So he has a reason. Financial, for example. I don’t know. They gave the fight, he wants it, and he even conditionally belittles me, saying he can easily win against me. Let’s give him that chance.
— Yes, there is a signed contract. But have you thought about giving up the fight?
Yes, there were such thoughts. And even during an open training session on Wednesday. But we spoke with Sanya, I asked her: “Are you ready, are we really fighting?” The response was positive. The man convinced me that he would come out to fight and that I should look for an extra corner to hide. Let’s see. I don’t understand how the fight will evolve, but I will do everything to win.
