The idea of organizing a third fight between Alexander Emelianenko And Jeff Monson seems very attractive, but it would be a shame if in this case Monson ended his career in defeat. Emelianenko’s manager Nikita Burchak spoke to about this.
Emelianenko and Monson met twice. Monson won under MMA rules in 2012 and lost in February 2022 to a bare-knuckle Russian. Monson himself spoke of the third fight in August as fact. In August, Monson drew against 55-year-old UFC tournament winner Oleg Taktarov.
— The idea of organizing a third fight between Monson and Alexander has been around for a long time, but it has not yet reached details. Although I don’t think this would be a problem. I heard Monson wants to retire in November. At that point, Alexander will be 70 percent ready, but that will be enough to show a good fight with Monson. Their confrontation will therefore end with a trilogy. Why not organize an MMA fight? That would be great. I have a positive outlook on this fight, but I know that the option of a rematch with Taktarov is a priority. And for us, Emelianenko’s team, Alexander’s health is a priority. Again, it would be great to be part of Monson’s farewell fight. It’s just a shame that Jeff walks away defeated in this case,” Burchak told .
Since June, Emelianenko, 42, has been undergoing rehabilitation in Ingushetia. In May, Emelianenko scored his first victory since February 2022, defeating blogger Evgeny Ershov ahead of schedule in an MMA fight.
