The elder brother and coach of Magomed Ismailov – Ramazan Ismailov – considers Alexander Emelianenko the favorite in the fight with Marcio Santos, which will take place on November 27 in Syktyvkar at the AMC Fight Nights tournament.
“I think Alexander will win. My gut tells me he will win. It all depends on the form of Emelianenko. Although the fight is not easy for him, but I think he will win. Santos does not have such a fight … He is not a freestyler, he has no passes. I think the fight will take place mainly in the stance. And to press Alexander to the net – like Alexander Shlemenko and Artur Huseynov – he, I think, is unlikely to succeed. Because Emelianenko will be 20 kilograms heavier than him. It won’t be easy to squeeze it. It will be an interesting fight.”
The 40-year-old Emelianenko has 28 wins, 8 losses and 1 draw in MMA. Santos, 32, has 16 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw. Emelianenko competes in the heavyweight division, while Santos competes in the middle and light heavyweight divisions. Their fight will take place in the open weight category.
