Kadyrov's idea of new fight with Emelianenko causes scepticism in social networks
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has called Alexander Emelianenko to a fight; two years ago the latter deliberately lost a friendly fight to Kadyrov. Social network users have questioned the honesty of that fight.
In his Instagram, Ramzan Kadyrov posted a video appeal, in which he said that "in our sports world we have such a fashion: everyone who is not lazy calls Alexander Emelianenko to fight."
"I also decided to do it, but have not yet decided in what particular sport," he has stated.
In his turn, Emelianenko wrote in his Instagram that the "flash mob #Call Emelianenko to fight" had reached my friend Ramzan.
Some users have doubted that such a fight could be held in reality.
"The fight will be pre-paid by 100%. The head of the republic cannot lose," the user d._.o._.k believes.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that since 2016, Emelianenko had fought for the "Akhmat" Fighting Club.
It should be noted here that Kadyrov's warm relations with Alexander Emelianenko developed amid the conflict of Kadyrov's supporters with the fighter, Fyodor Emelianenko, Alexander's brother, who is also the president of the Russian MMA (mixed martial arts) Federation. The conflict broke out after the "children's fights" organized in Grozny in October 2016, where three Kadyrov's sons were the winners. Fyodor criticized the "children's fights", and after that, in Moscow, his daughter was attacked.
