As a footnote to his essay about leaving Red Devil and being totally cleared to fight in America, you may recall Aleks Emelianenko making passing mention of a bout against Ibragim Magomedov. Well, it happened this weekend in Russia, and as you see it probably won’t be on anyone’s Fight of the Year list.
Emelianenko gets rocked by a good right hand at the end of an exchange and is clearly wobbled, but he’s savvy enough to clinch and hold on until he can get his mind unscrambled. By that time, however, the referee has noticed that Magomedov is cut, and the fight gets stopped before it really had a chance to get going and Aleks is awarded the TKO victory.
A disappointing outcome? Yeah, but you can’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to be in there with Aleks if I had an open wound on my face either. Come on. We were all thinking it.

commentsWho gets punched in a fight? There must be something wrong with his blood...
yeah he got caught, but he got right back up, after the clinch he threw a few good punches then it got stopped. If it wouldve continued i wouldnt doubt Aleks would've won.
He's a really good fighter if you're not trying to compare him to his brother. And he's got some of the best tattoos this side of a Siberian gulag.
I got his back, hep b or not.
That really is too bad, I would have liked to see what kind of shape Aleks is in at the moment. Hopefully he will get another shot real soon, its not like he is going to have to recover.
PS
Fuck Fedor!
Let's just say you see things you wished you hadn't when you are a porn security gaurd.
"When the ref noticed a cut on Ibragim, he immediatly stopped the fight in order to keep blood borne diseases to one fighter in the ring at a time."
so what is Aleks got rocked? he didnt drop and regained his composure immediately..
he got caught..
but he was doin really good in the exchange.. incredibly fast hands and good head movement...
