A. Emelianenko on how his brother Fedor threw gloves and did not want to spar him

The famous Russian MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko remembered about tough sparring with his brother Fedor and Roman Zentsov.

“It happened that Fedor threw his gloves down and said: “I won’t fight him anymore.” It didn't work when I switched to speed and started moving around. I don't remember what fight I was preparing him for. He was very overloaded - his arms and legs did not obey, his legs stuck to the tatami. In training, we never felt sorry for each other.

"There was a case when we flew to Holland and got into sparring at the beginning of training with Zentsov. And guys come in, I wave my hand to someone, at this moment Zentsov hits and hits me exactly in the beard. I fall to my knees, get up and dust off my gloves: "It's okay, let's continue." They look at us and say: “The Russians are crazy. They kill each other in training,” Emelianenko said.
