Ivan OrekhovCorrespondent SportAll materialsThe protracted history of hostility has finally come to an end… Or will there be revenge? Sports fans remember many confrontations that were never resolved in the ring/in the cage. The names of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson immediately come to mind: the UFC lightweight elite was supposed to roll a great felling, but in fact … From 2015 to 2020, the fight was broken five (!) times and there will be no sixth. The Russian champion left undefeated, and the American with a 12-match winning streak fell to the bottom, losing five fights in a row (three of which were ahead of schedule). Fortunately for the fans, the poster Alexander Emelianenko — Vyacheslav Datsik did not suffer the same fate. Promotion Hardcore Boxing snatched a tidbit (how many years had to wait for this meeting) and organized a tournament in Moscow with the participation of scandalous MMA fighters. Which, however, fought according to the rules of boxing, and not according to the rules of mixed martial arts.
