Biography of Alexander Emelianenko - the controversial world of the deserved champion

Biography of Alexander Emelyanenko began in 1981 in Stary Oskol, where shortly before the birth of his second son, his parents moved from Ukraine. They spent most of their time at work, little Alexander had no one to leave at home, so his older brother took him to training in sambo and judo. The guy was carried away by martial arts and already at the age of 16 he was awarded the title of Master of Sports.

Four years later, the biography of Alexander Emelyanenko was replenished with the first professional fight on the Pride project, in which a fairly strong Brazilian fighter Ashuero Silva was defeated. Over the next two years, the victories were replaced by one another, although for the sake of justice it should be noted that the rivals in these matches were not the strongest. The first really serious test was a fight with the Croatian fighter Mirko Kro Kop, who at that time had a huge experience of martial arts. Moreover, it was the best heavyweight and, perhaps, the strongest contender. Alas, this time the biography of Alexander Emelyanenko was not replenished with victory, but the Russian athlete looked worthy, having delivered a lot of inconveniences to the Croats.

Perhaps, after such an unfortunate defeat, a fighter with a less iron character would not go on to the ring anymore. But not Alexander Emelyanenko. Biography of himself and his two brothers shows that they were physically and morally tempered from the very childhood and are not accustomed to drop their heads. Already after 4 months, Alexander again went into the ring, where he won a victory over a strong opponent from Brazil. Then there was another victory, after - two more, which were achieved already in the first 30 seconds of the fight. Now Emelianenko continues to confidently win. Sometimes there are annoying defeats, but every next fight Alexander begins with a double motivation. As a rule, the result does not long wait for itself.

Biography of Alexander Emelianenko - the story of a manly and complex man. Confidently coping with opponents in the ring, he, nevertheless, is not always able to cope with their own emotions. After several noisy scandals around his person and another trick, Alexander leaves the sport and even begins another life - a life without temptations in one of the monasteries.

However, Emelianenko's hermit was not so long (about six months), he left the monastery, leaving as a tribute to this time only a long beard. In 2013, Alexander Emelianenko resumes training and returns to the ring. Such a move attracted a huge public interest and, of course, on the fight in May of the same year he was provided with a full house. The Russian athlete was opposed by Bob Sapp, known under the nickname Beast (American weight - 154 kg), unconditionally winning in his last bouts. Emelianenko showed that he had not lost his form, and easily dealt with the American heavyweight. After 3 months there was another victory - over Jose Gelke. The Russian did not give the enemy a chance. But, as it turned out, this was the last battle of Alexander Emelianenko. The year of 2013 was again marked by a drunken antics and another fight - the professional career of a man with a capital letter, the Russian master of sports in martial arts, ended ingloriously.
