President of the Russian AMC Fight Nights League Kamil Hajiyev in a conversation with a correspondent, he expressed the opinion that Vyacheslav Datsik and Alexander Emelianenko in their current form, they fit more directly into the pop-MMA format, rather than professional fighting under mixed martial arts rules.
On Saturday in Moscow, Datsik knocked out Emelianenko in the 13th second in a boxing match.
– Was there a desire to invite Datsik to Fight Nights, given his good form? Still, my promotion is engaged in fights directly under the rules of MMA, and Slava has now immersed himself in boxing. Let it stay there. I think he also needs suitable opponents: older guys with names. Don’t give her young, toothy guys. Because as soon as the adversary begins to respond to him adequately, he begins to tire. In this case, he will lose fatigue fights. If someone with a strong head and a desire to fight is among the opponents, then Slava will have no problems.
Is it possible to say that Emelianenko and Datsik now correspond to the pop-MMA format? Yes, objectively. Sasha to a greater extent, Slava could have fought with any of the boxers, but the opponent should not be young and hungry. There will be very little chance. The same goes for potential fights with ordinary top athletes who can take a punch and breathe well, Gadzhiev told .
In the last fight with Datsik, Alexander Emelianenko suffered the fastest defeat in his career, considering the performance in boxing and MMA. Now Emelianenko’s statistics in professional boxing matches are 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw. Vyacheslav Datsik has 2 wins and 0 losses.
In MMA, Datsik has 6 wins and 8 losses, Emelianenko’s stats are 28–9.
