Director Alexandra Emelianenko Nikita Burchak, in a conversation with , said that people who criticize a fighter’s environment are not making any attempt to help the athlete, only criticizing.
In May, Emelianenko picked up his first victory since February 2022, beating blogger Yevgeny Ershov earlier than expected in an MMA fight. At the same time, the fight sparked many controversies both because of the condition of the 41-year-old fighter and because of the course of the meeting. In February, Emelianenko defeated Jeff Monson by judges’ decision in a bare knuckle fight. Further in his career, Emelianenko was followed by defeats of Vyacheslav Datsik (KO in the 13th second in a boxing match) and blogger Svyatoslav Kovalenko (by a decision in a fight under the rules of boxing in MMA gloves) . Former AMC Fight Nights chief Kamil Gadzhiev in an interview with criticized the environment of Alexander Emelianenko.
– For some reason, many people think that someone else, besides Alexander Emelianenko himself, should take care of Emelianenko’s health. And Alexander’s entourage is regularly blamed for Alexander’s problems, although believe me, everyone just wants to help him. This is a kind of strange fashion – to say: “If it weren’t for the people nearby, everything would be fine with Sasha.” But the situation is completely opposite! If it weren’t for these people, the consequences would be… well, to put it mildly, deplorable.
Personally, I flew to Yekaterinburg for four months with Alexander and was the first in a long time to do a full checkup on his body. I personally spoke with all doctors and clinics, visited 90% of his training. And these claims that the environment doesn’t help Alexander… What are these claims based on? It’s just that next to Alexander, I haven’t seen those people at all who give such reviews and ratings. Here is an amazing phrase ideal for this situation: “Talking is not moving bags” (in the original there was a different version – “”).
I would like to draw your attention… Everyone who really participated in helping Alexander, no one said anything bad about him. And those who were not even close to Emelianenko tell how it is necessary and what knowledge they have. And for some reason, I didn’t see any comments before the fight with Datsik, when Alexander really came out of a bad state, and everything was fine. Nobody talked about the environment and what good guys they are. Apparently, this information is poorly publicized. And if something happens to Alexander, then there will be baseless accusations against him and his entourage,” Burchak told .
