“Yes, I challenged Alexander Emelianenko, offered him a fight in December or January, at the next WFCA tournament, to which he did not answer anything, blocked me on Instagram. His actions surprised me greatly, I didn’t insult him in any way, I didn’t hurt him, I just offered him a fight, said that he was worthy of challenging the championship belt with me. Well, this is of course his business, he can do as he sees fit, but I think that a fight with him would be interesting not only for me, but also for the public. Lately, we know that he has improved very well in his physical training, he fights all his fights brightly, I also wanted to say that my fights are bright, and our fight could turn out to be very spectacular.”
Alexander Emelianenko is a professional fighter, multiple champion of Russia and Europe in various types of wrestling, born on August 2, 1981 in the small town of Stary Oskol.
Childhood
Alexander grew up in rather difficult conditions. His father was a simple worker, and he had to work hard to feed a large family of four children. The mother also worked at the factory, but even in the absence of parents, there was very strict discipline in the family, which was established by the older brother.
He brought little Sasha to the gym for the first time, because he did a lot of sambo and did not want to miss training in order to sit with his brother. The coach saw that Fedor had excellent prospects and did not oppose the baby’s appearance in the gym. But with one condition - he doesn’t just sit there, much less play around, but tries to repeat the exercises of his elders.
The boy really liked this agreement - he immediately felt very big. So little by little he began to get involved in training, and when he grew up a little, the coach immediately enrolled him in the middle group - the boy managed to pick up a lot in the couple of years he had already spent in the gym.
Just like his brother, Alexander turned out to be hardworking, capable and with excellent physical characteristics. Moreover, Fedor was an example and unquestionable authority for him. And one resounding victory after another appeared on his account. Sasha tried very hard to keep up with his brother and this was his main incentive.
Sports career
At the age of 18, Sasha passed the master standard in judo, and a year later he won the champion title at the European Sambo Tournament. But he received the title of master of this wrestling only in 2003. After graduating from school, Alexander followed in his father's footsteps and acquired the profession of an electric welder. But he failed to work in his specialty - he went into professional sports.
Since 2003, Alexander begins to compete in professional mixed martial arts fights. He won his first few victories with a slight advantage. But soon, thanks to the experience gained in performing in such competitions and the support of his older brother, he began to confidently put his opponents in the ring.
However, my brother still remained one step ahead all the time. While Alexander was honing his skills in mixed fights, Fedor had already retrained and entered the boxing ring, where he began to win no less confidently. Alexander followed his example, and it was a very reasonable decision. Since the Pride club, for which he played, soon went bankrupt.
With brother Fedor
Fedor patronized his brother, and the famous boxing club M-1 took him under its wing. For just over three years, Alexander confidently performed in the ring, knocking out his opponents with hard blows. But, feeling like a star, he increasingly began to behave inappropriately, be rude, rowdy, and conflict with management.
In November 2011, he shamefully lost the fight in the 23rd second, and a year later after another scandal, M-1 terminated the contract with him ahead of schedule.
Realizing that he almost destroyed his own life, Alexander retires to a monastery, where he finds peace of mind and the support he needs so much. With the blessing of his spiritual mentor, a year later he returns to the ring.
He managed to win several more victories over opponents who were obviously weaker than him. But when he met with a serious opponent, Dmitry Sosnovsky, who at that time did not have a single defeat, he lost again and decided to retire.
Personal life
Little is known about the personal life of Alexander Emelianenko. He was married. He met his wife Olga in 2004, when he moved to St. Petersburg for intensive training. When it turned out that Olga was expecting a child, the young couple filed an application and officially registered the marriage. In 2007, their daughter was born.
With wife and children
But Alexander was increasingly absent from home and even when he was there, he began to behave aggressively - star fever was taking its toll. In 2011, Olga filed for divorce, and by court decision the marriage was dissolved.
Then followed a series of high-profile scandals involving Alexander, as a result of which he was expelled from MMA membership. In 2014, an investigation was launched into a statement by Emelianenko’s housekeeper, who accused him of rape.
The athlete’s guilt was proven, and he received 4.5 years in prison. In the pre-trial detention center, he entered into a new marriage with Polina Seledtsova, who at that time was only 22 years old. Alexander is currently on parole.
Alexander Vladimirovich Emelianenko is a professional mixed martial arts fighter, multiple champion of Russia, Europe and the world in combat sambo, master of sports in sambo and judo.
Alexander was born on August 2, 1981 in the city of Stary Oskol, Belgorod region. The boy’s parents, gas welder Vladimir Aleksandrovich and teacher Olga Fedorovna Emelyanenko, raised four children: daughter Marina and sons Fedor, Alexander and Ivan.
In December of the same year, the M-1 company, led by President Vadim Finkelshtein, unilaterally terminated the contract with Alexander, citing violations by the athlete. There were suggestions in the press that the reason for the breakup was periodic drunken scandals involving Alexander Emelianenko. The fighter took a time out and decided to spend three months on Mount Athos, in one of the monasteries.
Alexander Emelianenko's victory over Bob Sapp
In May 2013, the athlete returned to the ring, taking part in the “Legend” tournament against American wrestler Bob Sapp, whom he knocked out. In June of the same year, Alexander fought with Brazilian Jose Rodrigo Gehlke, whom he also defeated by technical knockout. In January 2014, Alexander lost to compatriot Dmitry Sosnovsky.
Personal life
In 2004, after moving to St. Petersburg, Alexander Emelianenko met his future wife Olga Gorokhova. At the beginning of 2007, Alexander and Olga got married, and a few months later their common daughter, Polina, was born. Due to constant disagreements, the Emelianenko family broke up in 2011.
For some time, the fighter led a riotous lifestyle, regularly getting into drunken scandals. In 2013, the athlete appeared in the Comedy Club. In 2014, 26-year-old Polina Stepanova was reported to law enforcement by Alexander Emelianenko. The athlete was put on the All-Russian wanted list. In May 2015, Alexander, who went to serve in the Borisoglebsk general regime colony in the Voronezh region.
Polina Seledtsova, second wife of Alexander Emelianenko
While awaiting his verdict and being within the walls of the Moscow Butyrka pre-trial detention center, Alexander Emelianenko registered his second marriage with a native of Tambov, 22-year-old Polina Seledtsova. At the end of 2016, the fighter was released on parole and released after 2.5 years in prison.
Alexander Emelianenko also gained fame thanks to his tattoos, which currently cover most of his body. Throughout his life, Alexander applied tattoos of a criminal nature: stars, cobwebs, a church with domes, a free interpretation of the image of the Virgin Mary on his back. Numerous photos of Alexander’s tattoos can be seen on the athlete’s Instagram account.

LastRound. ru recalls how the relationship between the most scandalous fighter in Russia and other Russian heavyweights developed.
Alexander Volkov and Vitaly Minakov
What he said: “Do I see my equals among Russian heavyweights? Who are our Russian heavyweight fighters? (Listed by Volkov, Minakov, Oleinik). Are they fighting? I don’t know anything, I haven’t heard anything.”. |
How it all ended: Alexander Volkov is one of the few who managed to avoid criticism from his more eminent namesake. The fighters could have met each other at training camps in Stary Oskol, but there is no exact information about this. In the future, Alexandrov’s paths did not intersect - one was just starting his professional career, the second was already trying to ruin it. Theoretically, Emelianenko and Volkov could have fought somewhere in November 2011, when both fought in M-1 with an interval of 8 days, Emelianenko was knocked out in 23 seconds, namesake Volkov was more successful, knocking out Arsen Abdulkerimov in 60 seconds. In October of the following year, Volkov made his debut in Bellator, and the fighters’ paths finally diverged.
In the case of Vitaly Minakov, everything is more interesting - the fighters could have fought in 2014 in the main event of “Battle 17”, but the fight never took place. That year, Vitaly did not spare his possible opponent:
“You know, I usually don’t talk much about my opponents. But the name of Alexander Emelianenko, which constantly pops up in the news about another criminal scandal, makes me have a burning desire to go and give him, you know, such simple Russian p***s. I’m sick of the fact that every second person in Russia associates our sport with drunken brawls and crime reports, with constant lies and cover-up from those in power.
Why do I and other athletes work up a sweat in the gym and in the cage, but here everyone only discusses Sasha’s “feats”? I got tired of this, and I asked Kamil (Gadzhiev) to give me a fight with Emelianenko Jr. I'll beat the crap out of him, send him to a hospital bed, and from there to retirement. He will never disgrace mixed martial arts again."
Alexander could not answer adequately, as he was busy talking with the investigative committee in the rape case, and a little later the fighter went to serve his sentence.
During this time, Minakov’s rhetoric noticeably softened, but was very inconsistent - the Russian actively discussed the prospects of his compatriot after his release, expressed hope that he might return, and then denied the possibility of a fight: “It's almost impossible. And it’s not clear why this would need to be done.”
“Alexander, as an athlete not interesting one top fighter, and here's to the promoters who are planning to organize a mid-level tournament in region, - another thing.At a high level, no one is interested in Emelianenko.” , - Vitaly explained.
After Alexander’s victory over Dos Santos in early September, Vitaly did not hide the fact that he was impressed by the form of the fighter released from prison, and at the end of October Minakov admitted that a fight with Emelianenko was very possible: “ It may well turn out that in the future I will fight with Alexander. Under acceptable conditions, we can fight Emelianenko.”
You won’t believe it, but Emelianenko never responded to Minakov’s words.
Sergei Kharitonov
What he said: “By and large, Seryozha is nobody’s name. He should be grateful that Fedya brought him to MMA, and not give expert assessments and throw dirt on a person who is recognized among fighters all over the world.” . |
“In fact, Kharitonov merged on his own at one time when we had another promotion company. We pulled him along with us, brought him to the Pride level, passed on knowledge, taught him to work. But then he “shit himself.” Now Kharitonov says everywhere that Fedya does not want to communicate with him, for the reason that I am nearby. Although I have nothing to do with it at all, Fedor is an adult and chooses his own social circle, as well as his sparring partners. I’ll watch Sergei for another month, see how he behaves, and if he doesn’t calm down, I’ll have to cross paths with him somewhere and fully resolve the issue with our bet. Why waste your tongue? It is unlikely, of course, that he will agree to meet. Khariton is used to doing everything on the sly, but when it comes to specifics, he immediately “goes into the mud”: he immediately runs out of time, lacks desire, and other excuses appear.” |
“Kharitonov is lying. Everything he said about me in his interview was nonsense, untruth and nonsense. He probably hung out at the gay pride parades in Amsterdam and got carried away in the wrong direction. Let's start with hepatitis C. My conditions for Kharitonov in this regard: I am ready to be tested for hepatitis C in any clinic, with any Internet resources and media. And if I don’t have it, then Kharitonov will cut off his finger. If they find me with this disease, I will cut off my finger. So that the whole world knows which of us is lying. These are my suggestions regarding Kharitonov’s statements. And if he gives back, then the whole world will also understand which of us is lying.” |
“Now I am not interested in Kharitonov either as a person, or as an athlete, or as a person.He's just an animal." |
READ WITH US:
How it all ended: The long-awaited revenge never took place; in 2017, Emelianenko spoke less harshly about Kharitonov:
“I don’t hold it against him. I could sit down with him and talk, but I don't know what. Kharitonov and I used to be friends, we went to Japan together when we found out that the promoter was deceiving us. Fedya and I pulled Seryozha along with us, helping him in every possible way.Even after I had a fight with him, after all these funny promotional videos where he promised to beat me first, then Fedya, I remained on good terms with him.
The last straw was that before the fight between Fedi and Dan Henderson, Kharitonov spoke in the spirit that Dan was not a rival for Fedi. According to him, Fedor could enter the ring drunk and still easily win. These words hurt me. Seryozha should be grateful to my brother for giving him a way into big sport, but he spoke out so ugly.”
However, the main beef of Russian MMA still needs to reach some more logical conclusion. Considering how actively Sergei Kharitonov performs in Russian promotions (two fights in M-1 and one planned in Fight Nights), we can continue to believe that the fight with Emelianenko in WFCA will still take place.
Magomed Malikov
What he said: “Of course, I would like to have a rematch. I don't understand why this fight was stopped. I was conscious. Yes, I was slightly knocked down, I don’t deny it, but I was completely in control of the situation and was ready to continue the fight, waiting for my opponent’s actions. I didn't fall on my stomach, I lay on my back. The judge thought I fell asleep." |
“Immediately after I was defeated by Malikov, I immediately began to think about revenge, so I will gladly agree to this fight. Magomed, be a man, let me correct myself. Tell me where and when will we meet? |
“An accident happened in the fight with Malikov. And technically, physically and functionally I didn’t lose to him. I lost to him by just leaning out and missing the shot. Of course there will be a rematch.I need to beat him." |
How it all ended: The rematch did not take place - over the next three years, Malikov fought three fights, winning only one victory over Jeff Monson. After losing to Brett Rogers in 2014, Magomed was never seen in the rage again. In 2017, the fighter admitted that a rematch with Emelianenko was possible only with the right proposal from the organizers - it would be difficult to get back into shape.
Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic
What he said: “I would have cut him down, yes, and then they would have said that it was because Mirko was old, not the same. They called me and told me how he was training. They say he is dead" |
“Mirko came out dead. But Oleinik didn’t show anything extraordinary in this fight. I thought Cro Cop would resist and not fall to the ground. Previously, he defended himself better against transfers to the ground. If only they had met five years ago, Oleinik would have collapsed. Mirko is already ancient. So ancient that he never waved his foot in Oleynik’s direction. He is already an old man. Well, why beat him - how long can you beat him? He is being transported to add weight to the tournament. And he goes to earn money for his old age. Do you even know who Cro Cop is? He is not Croatian. He is Serbian. When Croatia and Serbia separated, Krokop went over to the Croatian side and began shooting at the Serbs. Therefore, he is not respected either there or there. They say they saw me in the stands? I was not there. I’m not at all interested in looking at old people and Oleynikov.” . |
How it all ended: Emelianenko preferred a bar fight with a 63-year-old pensioner to a rematch with Cro Cop. According to another version, Alexander was attacked and a pistol shot hit his finger.
It recently became known that Filipovic has returned from “retirement” and will perform at the Rizin tournament on New Year’s Eve. Whether the Croatian will agree to come to Chechnya in 2018 is a big question.
Alexey Oleynik
What he said: “Am I upset that I was replaced by Oleinik (in the fight with Mirk “Cro Cop” Filipovic -LastRound. ru)? It is not me who should have regret, but the organizers and spectators. I would like to apologize to the audience for the fact that the organizers turned out like this: they decided to save money on me and put Oleynik on. And so - What difference does it make to me? I'm a sought-after fighter. If Oleinik has an offer to fight me or some organization wants to arrange this fight, for God’s sake, I will beat him.I’ll even strangle him on the ground and break him.” |
“When Lesha fights, he is “Lesha the Deer.” When he starts talking and giving interviews, he immediately becomes “Lesha Baran”. Oleinik is like a market woman, a collection of rumors and gossip. How can you speak affirmatively about any situation from someone else’s words? Refer to Vovchanchyn. And Igorek, by the way, told me that during his school years Oleynik wore women’s clothes and in the team was in the role of errand boy “give it, bring it,” “get out of here, don’t disturb.”
He calls my conflict with Fedor through the press “Dom-2”. So “Dom-2” - this is exactly what is happening with his wife. It was funny to watch how Lesha’s wife was his second and taught the boy to fight. I met Oleynik once during training, when he arrived at the gym with his wife. After the warm-up, practice began. Oleinik and I went to fight on the ground and fought for about 20 minutes no more. After that, he said that he had had enough for today, he had not fought for a long time and was very well loaded. I went on to train, and Oleinik went to his wife. He says: “Lesha, you struggled so much, you couldn’t really do anything...”, and he looks at her and blinks his eyes. I never crossed paths with him at the gym again.
I want it to be known: Oleinik is a second-rate fighter, his fights are absolutely uninteresting, so he is used as a backup option. By the way, he doesn’t hide it himself. Alyosha in battle is like a guest worker at a train station: when they need to do second-rate work, they come for guest workers, and when they need a good quality result, they invite a specialist. Oleinik’s sports career is coming to an end. The Akhmat League is progressing very strongly and gaining popularity; Lesha himself has been trying to get into our club for a long time. But the fact is that no one here is interested in him. Therefore, he is ready to quit the UFC and make money in a fight with me. I came up with a story that they allegedly called him from the Akhmat club and offered him a fight with me. I’m very interested: are they calling him from the president’s office? They are probably offering the position of Minister of Sports.” |
How it all ended: So far, nothing, and it’s unclear what it can do. Alexey Oleynik is on a 3-fight contract with the UFC. In 2017, the Russian had just that many fights, and plans to return to the cage in the first three months of 2018. Thus, the fighter will still not be released from his duties before the fall of 2018.
The option to break the contract looks difficult - the UFC probably won’t want to let go of number 11 in the rankings just like that. At the same time, you need to understand that for one fight with Emelianenko, Alexey can earn an annual fee in the UFC. In one of the latest video broadcasts, Oleynik said that he earned 200 thousand dollars over the past year. Representatives of the Akhmat club suggested that Alexey himself name the amount of the fee that was interesting to him, and this is a rather important point.
Perhaps this is why Oleinik changed his rhetoric. For example, in 2013, Alexey spoke about the fight with Alexander as follows: “He fought with me several times, but he couldn’t break anything, despite the fact that I weighed 100 kg at that time and I hardly trained. Now I'm in great shape and much stronger. I weigh 110-112 kg, I’m ready to compete with Sasha, and even fight, but I would like to get clean tests from some sports laboratory. I want to continue performing, but in Russia we do not have appropriate tests for doping or health.
I don’t have any grudge against Sasha, if he’s angry at me for something, maybe because I beat Mirko, that’s his business. As far as I know, it was not the promotion that removed him, but he refused to fight Mirko. I talked with the leadership of “Legend”, they told me both his words and his behavior, and explained why the fight did not take place. The refusal was on Sasha’s part.”
For his last fight in the UFC, Alexey Oleynik received $35 thousand, a defeat, and a (almost) illegal kick to the head that could lead to a heavy knockout. Oleinik is 40 years old, he has no sponsors and lives in the USA with four children on his income from fighting. Above we wrote what these incomes look like. The fight with Emelianenko will be built on the foundation of personal enmity, but this is a fight for which you can ask, for example, 250 thousand dollars and doubt that they will not pay you. You can also win and, by inertia, have, for example, two fights in the DIA, where a fee of about 30 thousand dollars for Oleynik, who defeated Emelianenko, is quite real. That is, a fight with Emelianenko for Alexey Oleynik is a real prospect of earning, for example, 300 thousand dollars in 2018 and fully providing for himself for some time.
For the Akhmat promotion, this is simply a chance to make the biggest fight in 2018 in Russia. And what is 250 thousand dollars? Four donated Mercedes.
The trial regarding the so-called Emelianenko case has been going on for more than two months now. We examined the testimonies of the parties in detail and found a lot of contradictions.
27 year old Polina Stepanova, who was cleaning the 32-year-old athlete’s apartment on the night of March 3-4 of this year, contacted law enforcement agencies and said that Alexander had forced him to have sexual intercourse and had also stolen her passport. Moreover, according to her, Emelianenko filmed the entire action with the camera of his mobile phone.
A criminal case was opened against the athlete under two articles Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: Art. 132(“Violent acts of a sexual nature”) and Art. 325 (“Theft or damage to documents”).
investigative committee The Russian Federation notes that the fighter is hiding from the investigation and did not appear at the appointed time for questioning. Alexandra declared a federal wanted list. He faces a penalty of imprisonment from three to six years.
Advocate fighter Kakhaber Dolbadhe in an interview with the NTV channel, he denies this fact; moreover, he calls this whole situation absurd: “As soon as Alexander receives the summons, he will immediately appear to give evidence at the appointed time.”
Was there really rape on the part of Emelianenko, or does the girl simply want to “cut” a certain amount of money, as was the case with the hockey player’s girlfriend Semyon Varlamov- currently unknown. Law enforcement agencies will have to work hard in the near future to get to the bottom of this case. Stepanova underwent a medical examination, which confirmed the fact of sexual intercourse. The victim was also tested for a lie detector, which confirmed that she was telling the truth. Emelianenko refused this procedure.
However, Emelianenko’s lawyer retorts on the air of the “Let Them Talk” program: “The device on which Stepanova was tested is not exactly the same. And it is forbidden to conduct these experiments on Emelianenko, since the fighter had two severe skull injuries in the past, and how the effect of the device on the human brain in this case is unknown. Stepanova was examined by doctors, but no one checked Alexandran. Although, they were obliged to do it. He is accused of rape, first of all it was necessary to check whether a person’s sexual organ works at all. They didn’t do that.”
The lawyer talks about Emelianenko’s head injury. In this case, one may wonder, is it even possible for Emelianenko to enter the ring with such an injury? I remember that on the eve of the mixed martial arts tournament in Tyumen, local doctors presented a certificate that it was not advisable for the athlete to fight - it was dangerous to health. And even earlier, Sergei Kharitonov, a famous heavyweight, said that Emelianenko has hepatitis C, so no one wants to deal with him in the ring.
It seems that the athlete’s health situation is being carefully hidden. But sooner or later everything becomes clear. With the right and professional approach to the criminal “Emelianenko case”, all the “black” sparks can burst out, like lava from a volcano.
This case is shrouded in mystery. But, obviously, there are several inconsistencies that will certainly help to understand the difficult situation.
Inconsistencies on the part of the accused
Where the fighter went and why he didn’t get in touch is a big question. According to some sources, Emelianenko went to Belgorod to solve personal problems, according to others, he went to his homeland in Stary Oskol for a new passport, which must be restored at his place of registration. Head of the fight promotion company "Colosseum", which is based in St. Petersburg, Oleg Raevsky in an interview with Sovetskysport, he said that the fighter is innocent of anything and is calmly preparing for a fight against the American Jeff Monson. However, no one knows about the scheduled fight; the fight has not been announced anywhere.
There is also a version that Emelianenko never left, but was in Moscow - he is hiding from the shipping authorities. But if he is “clean” before the law in this situation, why was he hiding?
Inconsistencies on the part of the victim
It is not entirely clear who Polina Stepanova really is, what she does and how she ended up in the fighter’s apartment that night. She is not the famous athlete’s regular cleaner, and on March 3 she visited him for the first time. Toliona works as a seller of water products from Moscow stores, or cosmetics, it’s unclear. How did she get into Emelianenko’s apartment? The girl claims that her friend (who really is Alexander’s cleaner) asked her to replace her because she was busy with other things.
While Emelianenko is out of existence, citizen Stepanova, with tears in her eyes, talks on federal television channels about what happened that night. But some of her testimony does not agree, and sometimes even contradicts each other. So, in one of the interviews, she initially stated that she did not know which person she was going to clean, but literally a few minutes later she refutes her words: “A friend told me that it was fighter Alexander Emelianenko and asked me to replace her.” Many people know the scandalous reputation of a fighter who can cause trouble on an airplane and fight with a pensioner in a Moscow cafe. To agree to come at night (!) to a person whom you have never seen... To a person who has a “stigma” hanging on him - a brawler, a rowdy and a drunkard - you must either be very brave or have no head on your shoulders.
Something else is unclear. Initially, Stepanova contacted the authorities and wrote a statement. Then she abruptly changed her mind and decided to take the statements back, but the police did not allow her to do this. And now, with a new grip, she is eager to punish the athlete.
No matter how the matter ends, it has long been clear that Alexander Emelianenko is done with sports. The last fight against the little-known young fighter Dmitry Sosnovsky proved this. Even before the fight it was clear that the once excellent fighter Alexander Emelianenko was not himself. He was out of shape, his face was swollen, as if a person had been on a bender for a week, or maybe two, instead of hitting projectiles and beating the hands of his sparring partners. Yes, we can assume that on the eve of the fight he caught the virus. But this is not the first time that Emelianenko shows his lack of professionalism. First, he was removed from tournaments twice for allegedly unsportsmanlike behavior and alcohol intoxication, and then he was completely beaten by a guy who had been practicing martial arts for at most a year.
If the rape case can be hushed up, Alexander can return to the sport, but obviously he is not the same! He got lost, drowned himself in the swamp of his own hell, and there was no one to help him get out of there. One gets the feeling that he doesn’t know why he lives. As the famous journalist Otar Kushanashvili noted, the only clue is not his brother or family, but his seven-year-old daughter Polina. The only and last hope!

MEANWHILE
Has Emelianenko already been in prison?
Judging by the tattoos, he has been convicted twice.
Kakhaber Dolbadze, Alexander Emelianenko’s lawyer, officially confirmed for the first time: the fighter had already served a prison sentence. Emelianenko himself regularly denied this.
- Was he sitting? Yes, but everyone made mistakes when they were young.. It was for a minor. He was 18 years old, unlucky. This was before he started competing in mixed martial arts. What did you sit for? For a deliberate crime. This has nothing to do with women,” Dolbadze said.
We asked experts what some tattoos on a fighter’s body mean.
1. Church domes
The number of domes indicates the number of convictions, and the number of windows in the church indicates the period. According to the tattoo, Emelianenko was convicted twice - for a period of three years and one year.
2. “Give me a return ticket to my youth, I paid for the trip in full.”- trapezius.
A very popular aphorism in juvenile colonies.
3. Grave cross
It must be pinned not on its own, but as part of the “composition”. Indicates that while the prisoner was serving his sentence, someone close to him died.
4. Executioner
The bearer of this tattoo thirsts for revenge and sacredly honors the law of thieves.
5. Pirate
He fiercely hates prison activists and has a penchant for hooliganism and robbery.
