Denna helg kommer den ryske legendaren Fedor Emelianenko (38-6) att gå ytterligare en match vid Bellator 237 där han möter Quinton Jackson (38-13) i Saitama, Japan. Inför detta valde tungviktaren att ge en intervju till MMABoxing.ru där han pratade om sin bror MMA-fightern Aleksander Emelianenko (28-7-1) som tidigare fightats i Pride. Fedor valde då att vara öppen med att de inte har någon relation längre efter att brodern blivit dömd för våldtäkt år 2015.
Ni kan läsa ett utdrag från intervjun nedan:
For me today Aleksander is dead. He is lost. I pray that he comes back to life and is found.
First of all let him apologize to those he raped, insulted, offended, cheated out of money. Help Aleksander? Do you know how old he is, for how many years I have been helping him? Many. Today the best kind of help for him is not to help at all. I understand that he has his own path, his own life. May God help him change his ways so that he doesn’t just talk about changing. There must be deeds. Not talk about reading the scripture, but understand what he’s doing. He calls other people animals, but the biggest animal sits inside him. That’s the one he must fight. Then he’ll see that there are people around him.
