After a series of videos about visiting the “Mosque of the Prophet” in Medina and choosing an Arabic name, the fighter published a video where he is given a piece of cloth covering the Kaaba with a surah of the Koran embroidered with gold threads.
The giver calls the Russian a brother, and notes that for Muslims this relic is priceless.
“Thank you for such a priceless gift!”, – wrote Emelianenko in a comment.
Earlier information that Emelianenko converted to Islam was confirmed by the head coach of the Universal Fighters club, Rasul Magomedaliev.
Recall that the last six months, 42-year-old Alexander Emelianenko spent in the rehabilitation center “Iman” in Ingushetia, where he was treated for alcohol addiction. At the same time, the fighter’s manager, Nikita Burchak, claims that three fights have already been scheduled for this year.
