Alexander Emelianenko gives predictions on his brother Fedor's fight against Johnson

Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko shared his prediction for his older brother Fedor's upcoming fight against Timothy Johnson.

"Definitely, I will be rooting for my brother, Fedor. He will win this fight, of that I have no doubt. I wish him luck and I wish him to finish this fight without injury. I think Fedor will knock him out, most likely in the second round. The first round will be exploratory, he won't even try to transfer to the parterre. I know Johnson is a puncher, so there won't be much of a fight here.

Fedor will be constantly working in the counter, pressuring the American, hitting in series, swooping down like a tornado. "He'll be like a hurricane, demolishing him in the ring with his knockout punches," Alexander Emelianenko said.

Emelianenko vs Johnson will take place on October 23 at Bellator 269 tournament in Moscow.
