The Legend promotion began its history in 2013 with an epic confrontation between two real legends - Bob Sapp and Alexander Emelianenko. After such a significant battle, it was decided at the second tournament in the main fight of the evening to make the long-awaited revenge between Alexander and Mirko Cro Cop.
But, unfortunately, these plans were not destined to come true. About two weeks before the fight, the Russian heavyweight got into an unpleasant story, after which the leadership of the Legend decided to remove him and look for a replacement for the fight with the aged, but still formidable Croat.
As a result, their choice fell on one of the most honored and seasoned heavyweights in Russian mixed martial arts. Aleksey Oleinik already had more than 50 professional fights behind him and was on a winning streak of 8 fights in a row. It was after the fight with the Croatian star that Alexey will fight his next fight in the UFC Octagon, where he has been performing for 8 years in a row and literally in two weeks he will have his 17th fight in the main promotion of the world.
