Shlemenko believes Emelianenko-Johnson was real

Alexander Shlemenko commented on the possibility that the fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Timothy Johnson could be a fixed fight.

"I do not believe that a contractual fight will end with a deafening knockout. There are other options to end it. Like injury, or some ridiculous painful hold, or a loss on points. But a dumb fight, a head kick... I've never seen anyone play a realistic deep knockout in my life. I don't think it's realistic. Either Timothy Johnson is so badass that he puts his head on the line for that kind of action. Then I can only feel sorry for him, but I highly doubt it."
