Russian heavyweight Sergei Kharitonov, after defeating Thiago Cardoso, explained why the conflict with Alexander Emelianenko will never be resolved.
— Alexey Oleynik shook hands a few months ago and made peace with Alexander Emelianenko…
I’ll never shake it! I will never shake it! I don’t even want to shake the hand of this scoundrel and this bastard and that… I don’t even want to talk! Nobody knows this man like I know him. I saw a lot of things, I won’t say what, when I lived in the same apartment with him. This is a scoundrel. Everything that happens to him today is all thanks to his rottenness and character. Shame on our sport! That’s why I will never shake his hand
