Emelianenko, known for friendly relations with the head of Chechnya, called the rumours about his quitting the "Akhmat" Club as gossip, stating however that he is a free fighter able to "fight for any organization."
Emelianenko has recorded his video appeal at the background of a poster with a photograph of Kadyrov and symbols of the "Akhmat" Fighting Club.
"I am a fighter of the "Akhmat" Club. "Akhmat" is power!" he said in his video.
