Russian mixed martial artist Alexei Oleinik told “” that the result of the confrontation Fedor Emelianenko And mike tyson will take a back seat, because the very fact of the meeting of two historical figures will be more important.
Earlier, Emelianenko said he was interested in a fight against former all-time boxing world champion Tyson, 57. In February, Emelianenko, 46, announced his retirement from MMA but continued to train with fighters from Team Fedor.
– We understand that two eras and two worlds of martial arts will collide. The era of Fedor versus the era of Tyson. For this reason, we observe and are interested. After all, many have in mind, “Oh, that’s Mike Tyson, the same Iron Mike.” We understand that this is not a 20-year-old guy who was a bunch of aggression, anger, crazy technology. He is a man who has come a long way in life. But Tyson was the name of his day.
The same can be said of Fedor. It was the name of his era. This confrontation is interesting precisely for that. And who wins is not so important. Tyson has one preference: he’s in his element. However, he is older. Fedor has a signature and a secret weapon with which he can win. We will encourage our own people, Fedor. And we will see. God forbid, it will come to this meeting, – Oleinik told .
