Khabib Nurmagomedov’s EFC League President Shamil Zavurov has said that a potential showdown between Alexander Emelianenko and Artur Huseynov will not take place in his promotion.
“I have said before that I am not interested in Alexander Emelianenko as a fighter,” Zavurov told reporters after the weigh-in ceremony for participants in the EFC 43 tournament. [Емельяненко и Гусейнов] hurt each other, no matter how hard they try to do it, it is not of interest to the league. Especially the fight with Alexander Emelianenko. We don’t even look at it closely. It is possible that they (Emelianenko and Huseynov. – Note. “SE”) somehow want it. But what do they want?”
At the end of November, a conflict broke out between Emelianenko and Huseynov on the Web. It all started with Emelianenko’s statement that there was a lifeline on Huseynov’s stomach. In response, the middleweight challenged Emelianenko to a fight.
A few days after losing to Marcio Santos, heavyweight Emelianenko called Artur Huseynov a Dagestan pig.
