Santos – about the force of Emelianenko’s blow: “On the street in Brazil they beat me harder. Artur Huseynov too”

Brazilian MMA fighter Marcio Santos spoke about how hard Russian heavyweight Alexander Emelianenko hits. According to him, in Brazil he was beaten harder than Emelianenko. Santos also noted the power of Artur Huseynov’s strike, with whom he fought twice.

“My face is clean, there are no bruises,” Santos told SE. – Emelianenko has light blows. Strong blows – in Brazil, in street fights, because I got into a street fight a year ago and then I really got hard blows. I can probably compare the blows in Brazil with the blows of Artur Huseynov. He has very strong punches.”

Santos and Emelianenko fought at the AMC Fight Nights 106 tournament, which took place on November 27 in Syktyvkar. The Brazilian won by submission in the first round.

In April, at the Khabib Nurmagomedov EFC league tournament, Santos, in the status of a major underdog, strangled Artur Huseynov. The result of their rematch, which took place in August at the EFC tournament in Nizhny Novgorod, was a draw.
