Emelianenko: "They suggested me to move to Japan and Korea, but I'm not leaving"

Alexander Emelianenko said that he had repeatedly received offers to move to other countries for permanent residence.

"I chose Russia, although I have the opportunity to live in another country. I don't leave on purpose: I live here, develop mixed martial arts here, promote sports and, if possible, a healthy lifestyle.

"Where were I offered to move to? I was offered to go to Japan, to perform and to live there. I said, I`m not going anywhere, I`ll be here. Everything suits me here. I'm Russian. I was offered to come to Korea; they wanted to help me rent a place to live and get a salary. They wanted me to perform directly for Korea", Emelianenko said.
