Blogger Yevgeny Ershov said that he did not succumb to Alexander Emelianenko, but deliberately did not beat in the rack.
Friday in Moscow, Alexander Emelianenko beat Yershov with a painful hold in the second round.
“There was no mercy, the respect is immeasurable,” reports a correspondent.
– At the decisive moment, did you succumb to Emelianenko?
‘I didn’t give in to Alexandre. The experience had an effect, there was a kimura and I sucked in the fight.
“So why did you have to fight?”
“I just didn’t mean to hit you in the head. It’s like cursing your idol. I understand that these are fights, and he is an adversary. But you go out and try to stand in front, you won’t be overwhelmed by feelings? Well, I’m a healthy guy… And what will I prove if I throw myself and cut myself. My job was to organize a sports festival for spectators. It’s not a professional fight, it’s not going to the record. This is an exhibition and demonstration fight we had.
