"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 Since March 30, 2022, I officially no longer represent the MMA Union of Russia, as I do not support the actions and policies of Radmir Gabdullin and Lenar Ganeev.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.
