- You posted a photo with Monson, where you are in the American Top Team hall. Did you help him get ready?
- No, he just came to America for three or four days and went into the hall. Just take pictures with everyone. I don't know, maybe he was training. But not with me, at least. And frankly, young Jeff was a machine. Today both ring announcers and haters fight Jeff Monson. The man is 50 years old. I think he can win now... Are you related to MMA?
- Not.
“Even you can defeat him, I think. This is no offense to Jeff Monson. He once defeated me. I lost to him with a choke hold. I respect him. But today this is a man who can barely carry his legs. He can make a beautiful master class, he can teach young guys a lot. But today you need help so that he reaches the cage or the ring.
It's not like I'm talking with some kind of disdain. The man earns money. He needs money, he needs to support his family, and because of this he goes out to fight. And so, of course, he has no chance even against the drunk Emelianenko.
