“The long-awaited return to the cage of Alexander Emelianenko more than a year after the fight with Magomed Ismailov, who, like Santos, is a middleweight and caused problems for Emelianenko. Marcio Santos has established himself as a strong and unyielding fighter, having adequately opposed Alexander Shlemenko and Artur Huseynov. The difference in size and the advantage in standing will be behind Alexander, but Santos will have endurance and a full training camp behind him. I bet on the victory of the Brazilian by technical knockout in the third round," Avsaragova said.
We will remind, Emelianenko accepted the fight on 9-day notice. The Russian veteran agreed to replace Vyacheslav Vasilevsky, who withdrew from the battle due to illness.
