Reigning AMC Fight Nights middleweight champion, Vladimir Mineev, addressed congratulations to his legendary compatriot Fedor Emelianenko, who turned 47 today.
“Today marks his birthday Fedor Emelianenko – a true legend in the world of mixed martial arts, world and Russian sports,” the Russian fighter wrote on social media, posting a joint photo with “The Last Emperor.” “Your achievements, skill and philosophy inspired and inspire millions of people around the world. Happy Birthday, dear Fedor Vladimirovich, good health, good luck, family prosperity and inexhaustible energy in your life!”
In February of this year Fedor Emelianenko made an unsuccessful attempt to take the Bellator heavyweight title from Ryan Bader, losing to the American by technical knockout in the first round, after which he announced the end of his professional career.
Vladimir Mineyev, 33, had his last fight on September 15, knocking out former Bellator champion Rafael Carvalho in the second round of a kickboxing bout, and his next opponent will be Ivan Shtyrkov, with whom he will first have a kickboxing match and then a mixed martial arts bout.
