Russian heavyweight Sergei Bilostenny spoke to about preparing for the training camp fight with the team Fedora Emelianenko .
The 27-year-old Russian fighter knocked out German Kasim Aras with a roundhouse kick at a tournament in Dublin on September 23. For Bilastenny, it was his first Bellator victory after losing by disqualification in his first fight. The Russian spent his training in Russia, training with UFC fighter Nikita Krylov, training at the Kuznya gymnasium, as well as training camps with Team Fedor.
— Was there a full five-minute round with Fedor?
– And not alone. I need this fee [с командой Федора] I liked it. The atmosphere is very good, friendly team, competitive, a lot of work. They had a preparatory training session, that is, they were preparing directly for combat. For two weeks, free work every day: one day you fight five against five, the second day you fight five against five. Everyone has their own evening workouts, but morning exercises and workouts are common. Cool, I never had this format. The only thing is all the guys are big, you can get hurt. Some of them flew away because of it, and I almost flew away myself.
I’m surprised how athletic Fyodor Vladimirovich is: foot movement, hand speed, power – everything in general. We didn’t fight, we worked with boxing gloves and did more than one five minute period. I’m happy because I came to this sport thanks to him.
— Is Fedor training hard?
– If necessary, he will strike and cause great damage even at 70 years old. He will have a hammer for the rest of his life. It’s both talent and a lot of work. I’m surprised by some things. It’s clear that we don’t kill each other in sparring, there were a few moments with smiles, but it’s very cool to see him do that,” Bilostenny told .
