Fans treat announced Kadyrov vs Emelianenko fight as show-off
The consent of Alexander Emelianenko to fight against Ramzan Kadyrov has caused doubts among social network users that the fight will be fair. Fans have indicated that Emelianenko had dropped the honour of a professional athlete by accepting Kadyrov's challenge.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, had called on Emelianenko, who is his friend and who in 2017 defiantly lost a fight to him.
In 2016-2018, Alexander Emelianenko performed for the Chechen "Akhmat" fighting club.
Emelianenko has reported in his Instagram that he accepted Kadyrov's invitation.
Residents of Chechnya believe that the fight won't be serious. "It's clear who will win ... Ramzan has just decided to make some fun," said Lecha, a local resident.
"Ramzan, to put it mildly, is an amateur. Even if their fight takes place, it will be just a show," said Salavdi, a Grozny resident.
A user of the "ChP Chechnya" community in "VKontakte" social network with the nickname givi_vaha has indicated that such fights fail to correspond to the status of the head of Chechnya.
