Emelianenko on why Tarasov decided to fight him

Alexandr Ormanji | Published Sept. 17, 2021, 10:13 a.m.

Alexander Emelianenko, a famous MMA fighter, suggested why Artem Tarasov challenged him.

"Tarasov is not a boxer. He doesn't have a knockout punch, he's not an athlete, he's a blogger. I don't know why he made the challenge to me, more for hype and his personal earnings," the athlete said.

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