Why Emelianenko condemned children fighting in honor of the anniversary of Kadyrov
“According to the official rules of the sport, athletes under the age of 21 must enter the ring in the helmet, pads, and up to 12 years in regarde or t-shirt. What happened yesterday at the tournament in Grozny, is unacceptable, and moreover, it cannot be justified. Really all that is important to organize a spectacle to the detriment of the health of children?! I very much resent the fact that it was attended by the President of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov”. This statement Emelianenko, published on the website of the MMA Union of Russia, caused a sensation. One Hero of Russia criticizes the other. This does not happen every day.
He has Kodirovanie that “the hero is wrong”. Against Emelianenko made deputatam Delimkhanov, speaker of the Chechen parlamentaria Daudov, a fighter of the ultimate fighting championship (UFC) and Khabib Nurmagomedov and European champion in kickboxing Abubakar of Vagaev. The last and even called Fedor a “cock” and “a pea clown”.
And who supported Fedora?
Fedor Emelianenko spoke absolutely true
Nikolai Valuev. The former world champion on Boxing in heavy weight under versions of the world Boxing Association (WBA), the Deputy of the state Duma.
“I’m not opposed to Junior matches were shown on television. However, you need to follow certain rules. As for the Grand Prix Akhmat 2016, according to the rules of MMA athletes up to 12 years must be in a certain gear. This was not done… Fedor Emelianenko expressed is absolutely true, and I don’t understand why he was attacked with insults”.
It was necessary to use the proper equipment
Batu Hasikov. Multiple world champion in kickboxing, producer of the Fight Nights company.
“There is a regulation developed by the Ministry of sports of Russia, which is valid on the territory of the Chechen Republic. I say this as a sports functionary. But from the standpoint of the layman, I welcome the idea of promoting sports among children, but in this case it was necessary to use the proper equipment. To understand this, you don’t need to be an expert or understand the laws.”
For me Emelianenko Hero of Russia
Grigory Drozd. Russian boxer, former world champion in the first heavy weight under the version of world Boxing Council (WBC).
“Fedor definitely has the right to talk about MMA as a person, as an icon, which prays for the whole world. It was he who developed this sport in our country, and as President of the organization, he can talk about what is bad and what is good. For me personally MMA in Russia has evolved thanks to Fede. I think that the organizers did not want to harm their boys, because they are reasonable people. Maybe Fedor thought that in some moments it’s too pronounced, but the fact that Emelianenko has the right to comment and generally talk about MMA, not discussed. For me he is a Hero of Russia, the symbol of MMA, and not only do I hold this opinion”.
When children hit each other in the head, send in the knockouts is causing issues
Oleg Taktarov. A former fighter of the mixed style Oleg Taktarov, nicknamed the Russian Bear, in the 90-ies of the speakers and won the UFC tournaments.
“In this situation, I for Fedor. When children hit each other in the head, send in the knockouts is causing issues. In my organization to the head are prohibited to beat to 16, must be protected, and it’s all very strange and supported by adults. This is probably the first time I’m willing to forgive Fedor all our differences and meet to discuss all the accumulated problems. I am ready in Grozny to work with children, it’s important that you, and not how much you’re beating the opponent”.
What these fights have to show? That child, too, can knock out?
Nikita Krylov. 24-year-old Ukrainian fighter, who competes in the UFC (21 wins, 4 losses).
“Write that Fedor Emelianenko in vain outraged childish fights because they are revealing. I wonder what they have to show? That child, too, can knock out? Or that in Russia rules of mixed martial arts the MMA Union of Russia, should not act everywhere? This Fedor did to MMA in Russia began to speak and show, he created the Federation, and he has the right to comment on any tournament”.
I would like to remind you that Fedor is a legend in the world of martial arts
Ruslan Provodnikov. Former world Boxing champion in the Welterweight version of the world Boxing organization (WBO).
“Heard about the situation around the Fedora and a little angry. I would like to remind you that Fedor is a legend in the world of martial arts and for many years has glorified our country around the world, so I think that to the athlete with such experience who is known and respected around the world, is to listen, and it is unacceptable to utter insults at him because he expressed his opinion”.
