The sobriety of Alexander Emelianenko, who is undergoing a course of rehabilitation in one of the specialized clinics in Ingushetia, will last until his next fight, is sure the head of the league AMC Fight Nights, Kamil Gadzhiev.
This Russian promoter said in an interview “Match TV”, sharing a forecast for 2024.
“I think he will return to pop MMA, where there will not be a format of ‘three rounds of five minutes’, but will be, for example, ‘three by three’. He’s going to lose, make money and get hammered,” Gadzhiev stated.
Alexander Emelianenko’s last fight was in May last year on the regular show “Fight Club REN TV”, finishing blogger Evgeny Ershov with a kimura in the second round. At the same time, the 42-year-old heavyweight was in poor physical shape, could barely move, and in the first round, in fact, lost the fight by technical knockout, however, the referee allowed him to recover and continue the meeting.
Emelianenko’s manager, Nikita Burchak, said in a recent interview that he already has three fights scheduled for 2024.
“There are plans to appear in three organizations for 2024,” said Burchak. “If everything comes together, one of these fights will definitely be a very high-profile fight. And it will be one of the most lucrative contracts in Oleksandr’s career, but the contract will have strict conditions regarding his form. Sasha is very energized. The format of a clear and long schedule of fights suits him”
