Ivan Emelianenko, the younger brother of the famous Russian fighters Alexander and Fedor Emelianenko, expressed the hope that his brothers would reconcile.
“When Alexander moved to St. Petersburg, relations between them were already strained. Did I clutch my head when I saw their skirmish on the Web? Partly it was like that, but by and large I don’t want to talk about it. One and the other have their heads on their shoulders. In time, I hope they will reconcile. I want this like no one else, ”Sport Express quotes Emelianenko as saying.
Ivan Emelianenko will make his debut in mixed martial arts at the REN TV Fight Club tournament on May 26. His opponent will be the judoka Alexei Ledenev. It was reported that the first opponent of Emelianenko Jr. would be Fabio Maldonado, but the fight with him fell through.
That’s interesting. I remember back in the day when Aleks made his debut hearing about Fedor’s youngest brother even taller than both them. Was expecting him to follow in their footsteps but then I heard he wasn’t interested and that was it. Strange hearing he is going to fight all these years later
