Russian mixed style fighter Alexander Emelianenko talked about his preparation for his fight with blogger-fighter Artem Tarasov and shared his expectations from the meeting.

"Tarasov has no chance of winning. I'm in great shape and keep "gaining" every day - boxing, sparring, running. Now I`ve got a lot of physical activity my body can hold and tolerate very well.

I have nothing on the line in this fight. It will be a warm-up sparring for me - beating Artem," said Emelianenko at a press conference.

Emelianenko - Tarasov fight will take place on September 18. The fight will be held by boxing rules, but with MMA gloves.
