Mixed martial arts veteran Konstantin Glukhov in an interview with , he announced his desire for revenge Alexandra Emelianenko for the defeat in 2012.
Glukhov, 43, made his MMA debut in 2006 and has fought more than 50 fights in his career (35 wins, 17 losses). The athlete has also won professional kickboxing tournaments. Glukhov had his last fight at the AMC Fight Nights tournament this summer, when he defeated Mikhail Gazaev.
— You fought in June in the AMC Fight Nights league and won against Mikhail Gazaev. What’s happening in your career now?
“I want to continue fighting because I want to, my weight remains at 108 kg, I train once or twice a day. I contacted almost every organization: AMC Fight Nights, RCC and Our Business. Everyone says there’s nothing until the New Year. Maybe people think that if I’m 43, I’m already very old.
— Alexei Oleynik is 46 years old. Could you fight him?
“I would fight, of course, and not because he is older than me.” It’s just a good fight. But it is difficult to arrange a fight with Alexey, as far as I know, he has a good fee for the fight. And I would also like to win something, and not just go out and fight. I wouldn’t fight for pennies, the amount is necessary, if the organizers are ready, then we can consider it.
— This summer I asked you if you were interested in a rematch with Alexander Emelianenko, and then you said he was a drunk. Is this revenge interesting now?
“He was drunk at the time, so now, of course, I’m interested in a rematch with him. We had a good fight, Alexander dominated there, and I endured him out of character, and he didn’t break me. But if we do a rematch now, I would have one condition: that he fights a fight before me. I’m not saying that if he’s in shape he’s a good, serious fighter…dangerous. But you just have to see him in combat.
— Why did you lose to Alexander Emelianenko in 2012? He was already living happily at that time.
— The preparation was so-so. I had a story with a coach there… he was a very good coach. And Alexander has a good Sambo base, good throws. If you enter a grapple or melee with him, there will be a throw. I just needed to train with sambo wrestlers or judokas and prepare myself. And Alexander has good boxing. In his arms, Sasha then completely dominated me, broke my eye and I couldn’t see anything with him,” Glukhov told .
