The famous Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko announced his withdrawal from the Union of MMA due to disagreements with the head of the organization Radmir Gabdullin.
"Dear friends! Since March 30, 2022, I officially no longer represent the MMA Union of Russia, as I do not support the actions and policies of Radmir Gabdullin and Lenar Ganeev. It is very important for me to maintain friendly and warm relations with you. I am grateful to you for these years of joint development of our sport. Perhaps if something changes, I will return to work in the Union, ”Emelianenko said in a statement.
The last fight 45-year-old Emelianenko fought in October last year, defeating Timothy Johnson by knockout in the first round.
