The fight between Alexander Emelianenko and Vyacheslav Datsik

In September 2022, he already met with Datsik. Then the fight was held according to the rules of boxing. It took Vyacheslav only 12 seconds to knock his opponent down. This meeting was expected for more than 10 years, and it ended in complete disappointment: everything was resolved very quickly and immaturely.

The upcoming meeting will be held in the format of boxing in MMA gloves. Athletes are waiting for 5 rounds of 2 minutes each.

Alexander Emelianenko is 42 years old. His MMA career was successful: he won 28 fights, lost 9, and 1 time the meeting ended in a draw. Alexander has not performed for a long time. Since the summer of 2023, he has been undergoing rehabilitation and has avoided public events.

Vyacheslav Datsik is a professional boxer, a mixed martial artist, known not only for his victories, but also for his provocative behavior. He is considered the favorite of the upcoming fight, because he has already knocked Emelianenko down twice. A few days after the first knockdown in the ring, sparring was arranged during a press conference. It ended after Alexander was knocked down by Datsik. In addition, Datsik, unlike Alexander, continues to perform regularly. So, his last fight took place in October 2023. Then Vyacheslav lost to Peter Romankevich.

The battles of these charismatic fighters always arouse great interest. The two athletes have been experiencing a persistent personal dislike for each other for more than 12 years. The fact that relations between them are strained was confirmed by the conference on March 26. Within its framework, the fighters again exchanged insults and declared their intentions to fight to the end.

There is very little time left before this high-profile event, but tickets for the Emelianenko fight can still be bought online.
