"Does the EFC league have any interest in Alexander Emelianenko? Absolutely not! I categorically do not want him to compete in our league. Why? I don't know... No matter how he comes back, no matter what he does - I don`t like his behavior. I think even if we start negotiating, it's gonna be a dead end. We cannot reach an agreement. We're straightforward people: we do what we say. I think we will have a hard time with him."
"For some kind of hype? We do not need it. I do not think that Alexander Emelianenko would be of much use in terms of promotion. Maybe a little hype, but no more than that. We focus on young guys," Zavurov said.
