Russian fighter Alexander Emelianenko stated that he had a normal attitude towards Vyacheslav Datsik .
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. Previously, the athletes had not hidden their mutual hostility for 10 years.
— After your first argument, you spoke to each other with a lot of respect, but now the unflattering words are raining down.
“No unflattering words came from my lips.” I have an absolute good attitude towards all combat athletes. It’s a difficult and difficult job. If a person plays sports, then I already have respect for them. He spends his time playing sports while other people sit in the kitchen or watch TV. My diet: I wake up, eat breakfast, go to the first workout, then eat lunch and sleep, then workout in the evening. After dinner, I have some personal time left. I’m seriously short of time.
—So, what is your attitude towards Vyacheslav Datsik?
“As a person, I didn’t dig gardens with him, I don’t feel anything bad about him.” I don’t know if he throws potatoes in every hole. I didn’t sit at the table with him. I can’t tell if he sucks. As an athlete he is great. I know there is a big slander against him. I am not a supporter of these slanders. And I don’t support people who do that. He also has a difficult and difficult life path, and people just take it out of context and post it. He is a good person and well done.
— It seems that you are tired of communicating with Datsik.
“I’m tired of dealing with stupid people who try to be arrogant. » Show that they know how to joke. I wasn’t tired at all. Sometimes I don’t want to answer certain questions because I hold back. If I start talking, nothing will stop me. I just know more than you about the same Datsik.
He constantly sends me crap. Thank goodness he deleted my number now. Now I went to the Northern Military District, they called me and asked: “Who are you?” But it turns out that Datsik gave it away. And they start communicating with me and talking about Datsik in an unflattering way. Finally, I hang up. Well, how will I communicate with a stranger? Besides, he doesn’t know my relationship with Datsik, or what kind of person he is. We are all imperfect. “He who is not without sin, let him throw a stone at me,” reports the correspondent of according to Emelianenko’s words.
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.
