Fedor Emelianenko on why his brother Alexander broke off with him

The legendary Russian MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko told when and why his relationship with his brother Alexander fell apart.

- When did things fall apart in your relationship? Although Alexander says that your relationship has always been not particularly strong.

- It's too bad Alexander says that. The rift happened a long time ago. The only person who could say the opposite point of view to Alexander in his eyes was me. It was a kind of conscience he had. He would make a mistake and I would say to him, "Sash, how could it be? I and Denis were the only ones who could say something to his eyes. His conscience wouldn't let him open his mouth in our direction. He sat and listened with a dejected look. Apparently, he got tired of it and broke off the relationship.

- How did this happen?

- He said and did all sorts of crap, all sorts of nasty stuff, and that was it.

- Was this when you were both at Red Devil, or was it after?

- He had already gone to Peter, started to train there. It was around this time (after 2006 - editor's note).

Emelianenko will fight American Timothy Johnson on October 23 at Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow.
