russian fighter Vyacheslav Datsik can get together with Alexander Emelianenko , but according to the rules of MMA. This was announced by promoter Vladimir Khryunov.
In September last year, Emelianenko in the 13th second lost to Datsik in a duel under boxing rules.
Datsik’s stats on Sherdog show five wins and nine losses in MMA. On Friday in Moscow, Datsik defeated former UFC and Bellator fighter Oli Thompson by first-round technical knockout.
Emelianenko had 28 wins in his MMA career, suffered nine losses, one of his fights ended in a draw. Since June, the 41-year-old fighter has been undergoing rehabilitation in Ingushetia. In May, Emelianenko picked up his first win since February 2022, beating blogger Yevgeny Ershov earlier than expected in an MMA bout.
– Vyacheslav has another opponent who is currently in rehabilitation. And he will be back soon, – the match TV correspondent reports the words of promoter Vladimir Khryunov.
– What, Sasha wants revenge? Datsik asked Khryunov.
“Yes, in MMA,” Khryunov replied.
– Yes … Sasha is a great fighter, – said Datsik. – I’m always ready, but in MMA with Sanya it’s always dangerous. He is still a master of sleaze and wounds. However, in boxing, it is easier to reduce. He does not see and hold “collective farms”, his reaction has become dull. I haven’t spoken to Sasha for a long time.
