Russian mixed style fighter Alexander Emelianenko claims that he received offers to fight against the UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

“Did you communicate with Anatoly Sulyanov (head of the Hardcore FC. — ed.) about a possible fight with Francis Ngannou? No, we never spoke. First time I hear about it. But in general, there were such proposals and wishes - to arrange a fight with Ngannou. I saw his fights. This is how he is: in the first minutes, if he doesn’t knock out, then he leads a long battle. To fight is not to fight, ”said Emelianenko.

On the night of February 24, Emelianenko won a unanimous decision in a fist fight with Jeff Monson.
