The elder brother and coach of Magomed Ismailov – Ramazan Ismailov – in an interview with SE expressed his desire to train Alexander Emelianenko. On Saturday, Emelianenko lost to Brazil’s Marcio Santos via submission in the first round at AMC Fight Nights 106.
– Would you take Alexander?
– Let’s see. I have thoughts about his next fight with Marcio Santos. I would like to show my vision of the fight. I think Alexander would have acted quite differently. But it all depends on him [Емельяненко] How will he listen? If he thinks that he knows better, then it is impossible to work with such an athlete. If the fighter is obedient, then there will be a result. If not, he won’t, then he himself needs to be a coach, and fight only at the level of Artem Tarasov. That’s how I think. I really see how Alexander can beat Santos.
– How?
– In a week, for example, work on the stalls twice. An opponent is on top of him. elemental exercise. You say: “Sanya, you have to get up. And you have to hold him down and hit him with 10 percent strength.” And now Sanya cannot get up once, twice, three times, for a week. And next week he will be up. Got suffocated? Everything, we separately analyze how to get away from this technique. From each reception there are five or six departures. Each moment needs to be worked on separately! Work on the parterre! That’s exactly how to put the job in the fight with Santos – I have a vision. I think it will work.
“Santos challenged your brother. What do you think?
— A good, convenient opponent for Mohammed. It would be a good fight. But he also said that he would give revenge to Emelianenko. We will do everything possible so that Emelianenko passes Santos. I would like to prepare him for the fight with Santos so that he shows what he is really capable of.
