    Ближайший бой Александра Емельяненко состоится 11 апреля в Чикаго

    В настоящее время ведутся переговоры, на которых определится соперник Александра. Скорее всего, соперником будет Джош Барнетт.


    Translation:


    Next bout of Aleksander Emelianenko will be held on April 11 in Chicago.
    Currently we are negotiating for Aleksander's opponent. Most likely it will be Josh Barnett.

    Could the Russian speakers of the board confim this, Ufoalf?
    P.S. Apparently Aleksander has recorded a rap song which is posted right next to the news :)blood :rofl)

    And at least one Emelianenko is willing to step up.

    Here's their 1st fight for anyone interested:

    http://tubearoo.com/articles/88965/Alex_Emelianenko_vs_Josh_Barnett.html

    Aleksander was dominating on the feet for the whole 1st round, pretty much hitting Barnett at will, hurting him several times and stuffing all takedown attempts, as usual Aleks gassed and was ineffective then on.
    The 5 minute rounds may work in his advantage, as he can get a rest more often. If he trains hard and works on his cardio, he has a great chance to win the fight.
    Hopefully he has improved his groundgame as well.
