Alexander Emelianenko denies rumors that his fight against Mikhail Koklyaev had a contract.
"There was no agreement at all, we did not call him. I suggested him to meet somewhere in the gym, so he could feel me, not to fall in the first round, but at least he had a little idea of how I behave in the ring, how I hit, about the quality and density of my punches, so he felt my consistency".
"He kind of brushed it off: "'I'm fine, I'm ready. That's it, I'm going to come out and smash you. Protein cans tied to a tree and beat them - whatever he did. Koklyaev was sure, he had been preparing for me for a year".
