Russian heavyweight Alexander Emelianenko commented on the constant criticism from former UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov.
"Why does Taktarov speak harshly about me? Because he's an asshole. Because he can't let go of the glory of the past years, when he came out long ago in the United States, fought one-sided athletes, then stayed in America, came back, and no one knows or respects him. And he had his chest done and he lives in the past. It's time for him to realize that there are other athletes a long time ago that he can't compete with in the ring.
When I had my last conflict with him, I talked to the TV channel "REN TV". I came on, I said, "Taktarov's giving him the boot, let's do a fight with him?" And they told me: "What Taktarov? He is already a grandfather, the sand falls out of his ass. We contacted him, he said, that simply on a video blurted something, and in a hundred years has not been in a hall, all on movie sets, on various parties, leading a dissipated way of life. He's not physically, mentally or technically ready to fight me", said Emelianenko.
on September 18, Emelianenko will fight against blogger Artem Tarasov. The meeting will be held by the rules of fist fighting, but with MMA gloves.
