In the world of MMA, another loud scandal flares up, which, most likely, will end in a fight.
Just a week ago, fans of mixed martial arts followed the behavior of Alexander Emelianenko before the fight with Marcio Santos, and now the Russian gave a loud interview to his manager Azamat Bostanov, in which he spoke very harshly about the Eagle FC athlete Arthur Huseynov.
According to the 40-year-old veteran, when they played in the same team, the Dagestani often set him up and managed to get two fees for one fight.
“He covered himself with shrines: family, children, something else.
He took money from me.
There were times that he received two royalties from me for one fight.
“Can I get some money in advance?
I have a child, a wife, they have nothing to eat. "
Okay, I'll give it to him.
Then a fight takes place, and he comes up to me: "And my fee?"
I say: "I gave you already."
In response, I hear: “So, I got into a fight for free?
And I have a wife, children ... ".
Tears come out in my eyes.
I say - okay, on, but this is not for you, remember, but for the child and wife, ”Emelianenko said on the Bostanof MMA Youtube channel.
At the same time, Alexander did not hesitate in expressions, calling Artur "a Dagestan pig", and said that Huseynov received money for his fights.
In particular, he recalled the final of the team championship, to which the athlete approached in good shape, but showed absolutely nothing in the cage.
“In principle, it is not surprising.
Fuflyzhnik.
He sits in Dagestan and understands that I will not go there, because I cannot find him there in the aul.
Therefore, I will wait for him to appear here, ”added Emelianenko.
After such accusations, Huseynov could not remain silent either.
The fighter said that Emelianenko insulted the entire Dagestan nation and now his brothers want to deal with him, and he will be on his knees to ask for forgiveness.
At the same time, Arthur was outraged that Alexander himself did not seek to get in touch.
“This is wrong.
If you want to say something specific, then do it in person.
He did not answer my phone call, and when I wrote to him, he blocked it.
And this is done by a person who served in prison in the past and lived according to the standards, ”said the fighter on the Youtube channel“ Vestnik MMA ”.
The conflict between the fighters, who previously spoke warmly enough about each other, began a few weeks ago.
Emelianenko at a press conference on the eve of the fight with Santos criticized Arthur's physical form and advised him to end his sports career.
“I watched one match of the Brazilian, where Huseynov was his opponent.
Arthur has a life preserver on his belly.
It’s time for him to tie up with the fights, and not go into the ring, ”- said Emelianenko.
Huseynov, in turn, after the defeat of the Russian veteran called Alexander's performance a shame and noted that it is better to be overweight, but not lose in the first round.
“I felt that you would give in this way, and this is a very big shame.
I came out in such a bad shape, although you yourself make comments to everyone.
What is this?
Is this a fight or what?
It's just embarrassing.
It is better to be with a lifebuoy, but to fight with dignity, ”Arthur joked.
The Eagle FC fighter also said that he was ready to fight with Emelianenko, but his fee should be at least 5 million rubles.
Alexander is not against to sort out the relationship in the cage.
According to Bostanov, everything now depends on the promotions of the athletes.
“The nature of the conflict is unknown to me.
As I understand it, we are talking about cases of many years ago, so we can only guess.
Of course, we agree to fight in a cage if offered.
By the way, Fight Nights even has this slogan: “Do you want to fight?
Fight in the ring! "
If it comes to this, then I will do everything so that the fight gets a normal organization and people sort things out, following the sports regulations, under the supervision of doctors and judges, and not somewhere on the street, "said the manager of the MMA fighter.
The head of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Hajiyev, in whose promotion Emelianenko is currently speaking, was unpleasantly surprised by such harsh statements from the fighters and noted that the case would end in a fight anyway.
“This is a one-way ticket.
After that, there can be no compromise options.
If they meet now, if they are men, then they should immediately start fighting.
I cannot say that the fight will take place, since Arthur is on a contract with Eagle FC, and I respect the agreements.
But if the promotion is not against it, and Arthur and Sasha are ready to share the AMC Fight Nights cage, then I would organize such a fight, to be honest, ”Hajiyev said to Alexander Lyutikov.
Later, Huseynov on Instagram apologized for the statements that were in the interview.
The athlete noted that he pronounced them on emotions.
"Could not resist.
I apologize not to Sasha, but to my brothers, friends, sisters.
Emotions.
If anyone else were told such nonsense, he would have behaved the same way.
But that's okay.
Let him live his own life.
Tomorrow something will happen to him, there will be 60 applications.
Because of this ... Time will tell.
And so I apologize once again for such a harsh interview, but in no other way it was impossible with such an unworthy person, ”said the fighter.
In turn, Emelianenko wrote in his Instagram: “I like people who know how to admit their mistakes!”.
