Datsik – about the defeat of Emelianenko from Santos: “The miracle did not happen. Sasha needs to compete in boxing “

Russian heavyweight Vyacheslav Datsik commented on the performance of compatriot Alexander Emelianenko in a fight against Brazilian Marcio Santos.

“We are not getting any younger. A miracle did not happen – after such a binge it is very difficult to get out and get in shape, – said Datsik in an interview with TRUE GYM MMA. – I know for myself: although I never drank, I sat and ate beside myself for 13 years. Sasha is a striker in MMA. He would have fought in shock – this is his, this is more spectacular. He lost all his last fights on the ground. I think it’s time for Sasha to tie in the stalls, he needs to get in good shape, recover and perform according to the rules of boxing.”

“Santos’ shots were very good, they flew,” added Datsik. – Sasha lost his reaction, speed, sense of distance. If Santos had a harder punch, Emelianenko would have been lying in the first round.”

Emelianenko conceded to Santos with a choke hold. The fighters fought in the main event of AMC Fight Nights 106, which took place yesterday, November 27, in Syktyvkar. Now on account of the 40-year-old Emelianenko 28 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw. The 32-year-old Santos has 17 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw.
