Russian fighter Alexander Emelianenko could fight in Ural FC’s promotion in 2025, Ural FC league general director tells Radmir Gabdullin .
Emelianenko had his last official mixed martial arts fight in 2021, losing by submission to Brazilian Marcio Santos. In September 2022, in a professional boxing match, Emelianenko lost by knockout to Vyacheslav Datsik. After that, the athlete took part in several exhibition fights, defeating blogger Evgeniy Ershov in the last one.
— You announced the fight between Vyacheslav Datsik and Alexander Emelianenko in the spring, and when did it end?
“It’s not that this fight ended, we just stopped contacting each other.” But today, Alexandre made contact. And I think we’ll get somewhere. It’s not a fact that it is with Datsik, but I would really like to see Alexander Emelianenko in the ring of Ural FC.
— When did you stop contacting them?
— We were unable to organize their fight in the Live Arena. And after that, the two athletes began to communicate less frequently. It is clear that they are also busy, they may have their own life and sports plans.
— Do you not believe at all in the possibility of a fight between Alexander and Datsik?
– If we have the opportunity, of course, we will fight this fight. The points have not yet been advanced. A lot of people want to see them both in the ring. Some say that Vyacheslav is not ready, others say that Sasha is not in very good shape. But whatever their condition, I think they will create intrigue and give a good fight.
— What does Alexander’s contact look like for you today: did he call or write?
– He composed. We contacted him and agreed to call him later today or tomorrow. Maybe we can arrange a meeting.
— You don’t say the exact amount of the costs, but would this be the most expensive fight in the history of FC Ural?
– In total – yes. This could be the most expensive fight in our league,” Gabdullin told .
