There were all sorts of fights in the eventful career of Alexander Emelianenko. He beat many world stars, but at the same time he could lose sensationally. He could organize bloody three-round battles, or he could end everything in the very first seconds of the fight. Only three fights out of 37 with his participation reached the decision of the judges, and almost every appearance of Alexander in the mixed martial arts arena was and remains a big event.
And the fight that we are about to watch remains one of the strangest in his career. It took place on April 23, 2010 at the PRO FC tournament. This promotion is one of the long-lived ones in domestic mixed martial arts, with a 14-year history and has recently been holding tournaments filled with cool and spectacular fights again. You will find a link to the PRO FC KZfaq channel in the description and comments to this video.
As for the events 12 years ago. I personally remember them well, since I was present at this tournament. A stubborn final of the team tournament, Alexander's impressive entrance to a very beautiful aria performed by a famous opera singer, and the opponent inspired respect.
Eddie Bengtsson was distinguished by his serious size and enormous physical strength. He was also an Olympic-level wrestler, having twice participated in the Olympics for the Swedish national team, where he fought with Alexander Karelin himself. In mixed martial arts at that time, Eddie won a number of quick victories in the first round and suffered his only defeat from Alexei Oleynik. In general, a grandiose event was expected. What happened in the battle itself is still debated to this day. I invite you, dear friends, to join the debate in your comments and express your opinion.
