Director Alexandra Emelianenko Nikita Burchak is convinced that the fight between the Russian fighter and his compatriot Vyacheslav Datsik will not last the five rounds.
On Friday it became known that the rematch between Emelianenko and Datsik will take place on April 12 in Moscow and will headline the Ural FC 7 tournament. The format of the fight is boxing with MMA gloves, 5 rounds of 2 minutes.
— The rules of the battle suit us, as does the date. Everything is fine. These guys won’t need all five rounds. It is obvious that both will commit suicide in hopes of ending the fight early. The main plot is who, basically, will get there first. And this blow can be victorious. Let’s see what has changed compared to the first fight, who drew what conclusions. Datsik’s strengths are known to everyone – non-standard and even clumsy strong blows. I can say that Alexander’s blow has become stronger, his shoulder has healed. Alexander is already in good shape,” Burchak told .
In September 2022, Datsik knocked out Emelianenko in a boxing match in the 13th second. Emelianenko, 42, has 28 victories during his MMA career, suffered nine defeats and one of his fights ended in a draw. Since last summer, he has been undergoing rehabilitation in Ingushetia. Datsik’s last fight took place in October 2023, when Vyacheslav lost to Peter Romankevich.
