Emelianenko: "I'll send Datsik to sleep"

Alexander Emelianenko has no doubt that he will knock out Vyacheslav Datsik if their fight takes place.

- What awaits Datsik if the fight between the two takes place?

- Knockout. I'll send him to sleep.

- Did you watch him fight Daniyal Elbaev?

- No. But I heard it was a hell of a fight. He didn't show anything good. I do not understand why they let such fighters into the ring. They have to fight somewhere at closed tournaments, in closed venues, rooms. Not in public.

- You have the feeling that when you talk about potential opponents, you are reluctant to talk about Datsik. Is there such a thing?

- I don't know... What's there to talk about him? Fat, clumsy Datsik. Can't fight.

The 40-year-old Emelianenko is expected to fight against blogger Artem Tarasov in September.
