Vladimir Mineev commented on the possible fight against Alexander Emelianenko.
"I have already said everything about it, and I think that he needs to recover his form, to come to himself - there is a great interest in him as a figure, as a person, and he can get good fights. If he really gets in shape, he needs to fight the same deserving guys, take someone from PRIDE, and organize serious confrontations. And what's going on now - GeeGun, Tarasov - it's in the spirit of the times, it's hype, but I think it's disrespect to his merits. I still have respect for Emelianenko, and the expression 'money doesn't smell' is not about me," the fighter said.
