russian fighter Alexander Emelianenko in a conversation with , he said his revenge with Vyacheslav Datsik will certainly take place, and in a duel according to the rules of MMA he will have an advantage.
In September last year, Emelianenko in the 13th second lost to Datsik in a duel under boxing rules. On Friday in Moscow, Datsik knocked out former UFC and Bellator fighter Oli Thompson in a first-round boxing match, after the fight promoter Vladimir Khryunov announced the possibility of a rematch between Datsik and Emelianenko, but under MMA rules.
– Datsik is on a winning streak, but all fights are boxing. He’s never been strong in full-fledged MMA, where there’s wrestling. In a fight under the rules of MMA, I will definitely have an advantage, since I am a basic sambo wrestler and have done many fights on the ground. It will be a good fight. I think our revenge is inevitable by certain rules. I will take into account all the mistakes of the last fight and the preparation and I will do everything to win, – said Emelianenko “”.
Datsik’s stats on Sherdog show five wins and nine losses in MMA. Emelianenko has 28 wins in his MMA career, suffered nine losses and one of his fights ended in a draw.
