A. Emelianenko: "Shlemenko is a dead man and is now trying to whitewash himself in front of an audience"

Russian mixed fighter Alexander Emelianenko criticized Alexander Shlemenko, who previously assessed his chances in the upcoming fight with Marcio Santos. The meeting will take place on November 27 in Syktyvkar, Russia, at the AMC Fight Nights tournament.

“I have a lot to lose in this battle. Shlemenko made such a comment because he had a very terrible fight with Santos. I saw their duel. He is such a fighter - he can approach one battle prepared, and sometimes none at all, as in the case of Santos. Not a single series, not a single transfer to the ground, pierced each other with single blows, Shlemenko died. And now, in order to somehow whitewash himself in front of the audience, to gain some pluses, he says that Santos is a good fighter, that we have 50-50 chances with him. He makes such conclusions to justify himself," Emelianenko said.
