Kadyrov describes scenario of his fight with Emelianenko

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who called MMA athlete Alexander Emelianenko for a fight, promised to knock out his opponent with "the only and first strike." Such a statement confirmed the fans' opinion about the staged nature of the announced fight.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov called for a fight Alexander Emelianenko, who stays in friendly relations with him. In 2017, Alexander Emelianenko already demonstratively lost to the leader of Chechnya in a friendly fight.

Ramzan Kadyrov described the course of his planned fight with Alexander Emelianenko. The Chechen leader referred to the questions about the fight he had got "during a Sunday's training."

"If the fight with Alexander Emelianenko takes place, I bet that in the fifth round I will knock him out with the only and first strike. [...] I will run around the ring for four and a half rounds, and in the last round I will knock him out," Ramzan Kadyrov has written today in his Telegram channel.

To maintain at least some intrigue, Ramzan Kadyrov invited his fans to guess where exactly he would strike Alexander Emelianenko: "to his body or to his head."

Social network users have confirmed the earlier expressed opinion that the fight will be "staged." "There will be a staged performance again. This is not a fight, but an ordinary PR step. Well, it also involves money laundering," wrote, in particular, user Mikhail Markelov.
