Ramazan Ismailov, older brother and coach Magomed Ismailov, shared his expectations from the fight of Alexander Emelianenko and Marcio Santos, which will take place on November 27 in Syktyvkar at the AMC Fight Nights tournament.

“I think Alexander will win. My instinct tells me that he will win. It all depends on the form of Emelianenko. Although the fight is not easy for him, I think he will win. Santos does not have such a fight ... He is not a freestyle, he has no passes. I think the fight will take place mainly in a standing position. And to press Alexander to the net - like Alexander Shlemenko and Artur Huseynov - he, I think, is unlikely to succeed. Because Emelianenko will be 20 kilograms heavier than him. It will not be easy to squeeze it. It will be an interesting fight,” Ismailov said.
