Shlemenko: "Timothy Johnson is not an easy opponent"

Former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko shared his opinion on American Timothy Johnson who will be the next opponent of legendary Fedor Emelianenko. Their meeting will headline the Bellator event in Moscow on October 23.

"Timothy Johnson has a far from easy opponent. He may not be particularly known to Russian audiences, but he possesses a tough 'hand'. He is always dangerous. Fedor has to tune in well, it's a crazy responsibility for him. There's a lot of attention to any of his fights," Shlemenko said in an interview with the Ushataika YouTube channel.
