That's The Real Gangster! Alex Emelianenko vs. The Giants of Pride FC
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2023
- Alexander Emelianenko was among the heavyweight cream-of-the-crop. Blistering speed, brutal chokes and merciless ground-and-pound - the younger Emelianenko had all it takes to dominate in MMA. Now, the most talented of the 3 brothers is a shadow of his former self, taking fights against TH-camrs to entertain the local audience. So it would be nice to reminisce about the heyday of Emelianenko jr.

I always loved how he looked like he just woke up 😂
Hes a legit example of a younger sibling of a super high achiver .....Fedor on paper is the poster boy, disciplined, reserved and controlled whilst Alexander is wild, uncouth and rowdy.....both guys naturally gifted but as different as chalk and cheese
Хахахххагхахагагагга
Didn't shit, shower, shave, or nothing, just showed up.
😂
Bdidnt just wake up. Hes getting ready for a nap.
Dude Alexander is super fast for a heavyweight, he also looks 40 at 24 😂🤯
I couldnt agree more, he's crazy fast punching, and with a lot of accuracy too for a heavyweight, it's pretty impressive.
Roids do that
@@adgcih1689 you mean alcohol does that. This guy looks the least roided out of any fighter lol
@@adgcih1689yes with this body 😂 simp
24 wtf? He looks ancient
I love that Alex just looks like he can't be bothered like he just clocked in at work and wants to go home meanwhile destroying people in his path lol
He does irl what we fantasize about all shift
@@godwarrior3403 🤣🤣🤣
got punched out a fair bit
Well he just wanted to go drinking.
Он часто говорил в интервью, что его работа - бить людей.
Alex vs Fedor is the best example of talent vs hard work.
so they were born that good?
@@GameDevAraz Alex was, Fedor worked his butt off.
@@GameDevAraz Fedor always regarded Alexander as a more talented brother. Unfortunately alcohol addiction did it's trick
@@sxanep i see.
@ghostofuchiha3807 Too bad you never did anything like that huh?
He was an AMAZING fighter who only trained less than half than his peers. With dedication and no craziness, he could have been one of the top 3 ever. Just mind blowing how good he was
yeah some talented people are cursed with their own complacency.
I think he could have been unbeatable. The goat
He was also a really depressive alcoholic and eventually Fedor (brother) renounced him. Sad. Many such cases.
Why he had no ground game and and his stand up was average. Knocked out by Datsik cold recently
@@mrtravelhub4313 his stand up was way above average. He never trained, he never ate properly, he was overweight, he drank every day. And still knocked out good fighters.
knowing that he wasnt even training is pretty crazy, thats a natural born fighter
Isn't natural born anything, that is a lifetime of violence
Most naturally talented fighter I’ve ever seen alex. Needed better discipline but the talent was undoubtably there
Pride FC was incredible to watch. It was and still is miles better than anything the UFC could ever do.
Yeah.....clearly rigged fights against tomato cans are heaps better ay?
@@countdoogula2781 sounds like you dont know about how UFC gives bonuses to fighters like its a video game.
if you do a lot of cool shit in the fight, they give you more money. because its about the specticle and not about fighting.
the reality is dana probably never would have signed either the of emilinkos because for them, having fights end in 5 seconds isnt good money....
so, the fighters arent trying to win as much as they are trying to get more money.
i think the diaz brothers abused this. its why thier fights were so entertaining even though they were obviously exponentially better than most of their opponents. but still got their shit kicked in.
they make more money if they make it look like they fought 3 hard rounds. as opposed to just eliminating the target 15 seconds after the bell rings.
Gospel of Jesus Christ. John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died on the Cross for all the sin of the World, and now we can be Forgiven of all of our sins and be washed clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ for our iniquities trespasses... now all you need to do is Repent of all of ur sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry with all ur heart, and if you Repent and still go back to sinful things nothing will happend but if you are truly serious Lord will change ur life forever) (example of repenting Father God I ask in Jesus Name please forgive me of all my Sins I acknowledge that im a sinful man/woman I am truly sorry and trust in Jesus that he lived suffered and died on the cross for me and my sins so I can be Forgiven was barried and that you rised him on the 3th day please wash me clean with the blood of Christ make in me a new heart that can love and forgive Lord change my desires change me Lord Jesus come into my life change everything about me make me a new creation fill me with ur HolySpirit...)is what sin is Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. and the only way to heaven is Trough Jesus Christ there is no other way! John 14:6 I Am The Way The Truth And The Life No Man cometh to the Father Except Trough Me. and you are saved by Grace Trough Faith not by works, we cannot save urselfs from sin we don't get to go to heaven because
we don't get to go to heaven because we are a Good People we are not!, we cannot earn ur salvation it is given to us as a Free Gift all we need to do is receive it! Romans 3:23 For All have sinned and Felt Short of the Glory of God. There is none Good but God!, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:8 KJV..,.,.,
@@dbspaceoditty yep, Dana has made MMA into a joke. Especially with the Jake Paul gay kid drama.
I never watched Pride back in the day, but the UFC is sure as hell an annoying soap opera joke of an organization. They're more interested in a bunch of drama to make money off of the masses than anything else. Ultimately I don't even mind the drama thing existing(not that I'd watch it) if it weren't for the fact that they play up the childish, disrespectful aspects. It's societally toxic trash. If you act like a disrespectful child, you should be kicked out, not rewarded. Don't encourage children(both young and adult aged) to act like that.
Imagine had he have actually had dedication and true discipline he would be one of the greatest of all time
Alex is perfect example of what you said. Imagine if most of us had the discipline of his brother Fedor.
I don't know much of alex but I'm just amazed at how good he is with little training. Like, holy hell! People ain't joking when they say he could've been the greatest.
Well as in any sport it's a combination of talent and effort. Often people with a lot of talent put in too little effort.
According to Fedor’s coach, Alex would have been much better than Fedor. He was physically gifted, meanwhile Fedor just worked hard for what he got.
Alexander’s cold dead stare and no emotion as he stepped into the ring was what fascinated me. It was just another day that ended in Y for him. A guy like that had to be scary as hell to step into the ring with.
The look of a man who is living life from ring to bottom of the vodka bottle back to the ring, et cetera
@@mcfarvo Two scariest people in the world is a man with everything to lose, and a man with nothing left to lose.
@@CYRUS363the man with nothing. The man with everything, even if he loses it all, is still alive. The man with nothing has been in hell for so long he forgets there was a time he wasn't on fire. The rich man fears the pain of the fall, but the poor man is numb to it. He can do anything, for he has nowhere else to go but up. You cannot threaten his finances, he has none. You cannot threaten his loved ones, he has none. You cannot threaten his life, for he has long since ceased to live.
@@CYRUS363 And when you ad times what he serves in russian prison or culak 5-8years he also had those tattoos thies in law. When watch first matches he have "stars" on shouldes and last videos he is covered them cause everybody in rusia or old USSR countrys knows what they means. Meaning is you dont repriciate police or coverment and you are member of bratva/mafia/gang.. Or something like that correct me if im wrong.
Good fighter !!!!
Alcohol has robbed many men of their potential in life!
what a madman. not even human. incredibly talented, a fucking badass with a very dark soul, no fear and nothing to lose. real life movie character
Man. You can see how much Fedor tried to give Alex a chance to improve his life and time and time Alex let him down.
The gift they were given was so insane to just piss away
Not to mention, after Fedor did all of that for his brother, his brother ended up getting Fedor daughter kidnapped!
Crazy. Imagine how good he would have been if he ACTUALLY trained the way most MMA fighters HAVE TO train. He would have been literally unstoppable. I mean 0 losses. He could’ve been THAT good.
Alcoholism
The way they cut weight is retarded. And dangerous and pointless in my opinion
He's only lost would've been to his brother
@@slimer1984 that certainly would’ve Been an interesting fight though, especially if it was prime Alex vs prime Fedor lol
@@slimer1984even that would not be guaranteed
That dude that called his mom after winning, what a legend
Yes, from the ice-cold Cro Cop that was nice to see
He was the head of the anti terrorist police force in Croatia, but you can be the head of an anti terrorist unit and you still need to call your mum after a win.
"That dude." Ugh.

Sometimes demons can be too hard to control
Точно. Опроверг аксиому. )
это его жизнь и срать он хотел на ваше мнение, он легенда как и Тайсон нелегок успех
Alexander’s punches just like fedor, unrelenting, fast, strong, accurate. A lot of their body language is the same just different body proportions. Great fighters. I miss the fedor days.
He legit is one of the best striking fighters iv ever seen in mma. His accuracy/precision and ability to throw from different angles. He really could of been one of the best ever
I always say he was the definition of having hands. Nothing flashy just effortlessly lands
Human kangaroo I say..
wtf are you talking about, he throws wildly slugging with everyone he fights, he is in no way one of the best and that just shows you're a casual
@@zack-lk8if well considering 162 people agree with me. Ex fighters agree with me. And the fact I have mma experience. Think Il take my own opinion & fighters opinions. Vs urs.
Appreciate the output tho casual 😂
Alexander is the unfortunate microcosm of Russia - talented and with a lot of potential, but his own worst enemy who self-destructs himself harder than the opponents could.
The dude is a criminal you meant to say. He’s an embarrassment to his brother
Even worse : he’s actually Ukrainian but went for rusha . I went from admiration to eff him…
FFS this happens all over the world, he is a criminal, cope with it
Ok michael chandler . Why people cant speak there own way opposed to speaking like somone they watched on a interview . Got idiots using the word spamm a million times on here since israel adysenia used it at a confrence
Yup, it’s a shame. Russia breeds such a high % of talented self destructive bums. Hope they can turn themselves around this century.
Best narration ever in a combat sports TH-cam history. Fkin love it.
Meh. He tries too hard. It’s a bit cheesy.
The Emelianenko Brothers have an uncanny way of throwing very fast and Powerful punches no matter how unhealthy they looked
The punches or the guys? :) I assume you meant the latter, but in that case the world has a serious note to take on what a healthy human body looks like..
Dude is like "shut up with all that jumping up and down shit & just fight." Straight up Legend
The Emelianenko bloodline is too powerful. Nerfing Alex at birth by endowing him with a taste for alcohol saved professional fighting and the rest of the world.
Nerfed even before his Release. The dev leader found him too OP.
And Hep-C
@@thanatos8618 xD
Too bad Fedor was too woke and cut him off after he R-worded a woman. I mean, come in, in Russia that word doesn't mean anything. Alexander could have really used gis brothers help then.
@@slashismyhommie8182 Cutting off someone who R worded means woke now?
You can just see how disappointed and sad Fedor was for his brother at times. Could have been a huge champ.
Showing no emotion and an expressionless face. It is almost as if people see what they want to see instead of what actually transpired. Especially people on social media. There was not a single point in this video where you could see how disappointed and sad Fedor was for his brothers problems. He had a reaction to his brother losing a fight.
Looks like he has finally become a champ - AlkoChamp🍺
@@Onthebrink5 Disappointment was obvious at 4:30
@@Apebek He was disappointed in the loss.
@@Onthebrink5 Psychology is not for autists so pls don't talk when you can't even read basic body language...
always loved how he carries himself. great fighter.
Homeboy threw devastating combinations. Damn! Every hit connected with such speed and force . Never saw nothing like it.
10:17 Josh is such a class act, he wiped his blood off Alexander's face. Humble in victory, humble in defeat.
he was laughing of him you absolute societal gutter
Weakness
Maybe he has aids and he was actually trying to wipe his blood in his mouth?
@@justinberry3991242 people agree with his statement about josh...while you up voted your own post. Good job cl0wn 🤡🤡
@@justinberry3991 honor
As a good rule of thumb…never fight somebody who has a thousand yard stare in their eye. That person is in a very dark place.
He looks like he's waiting in line to order a sandwich. Showing indifference to dangerous situations is common in psychopaths.
@@BrandXsps Meh... Not impressed with psychobabble. Modern psychology is full of buffoons. Freud, Skinner, Jung....they were all merely grasping at truths about human nature that the Christian faith has expounded on adroitly for eons. Dude is in love with a drug and it saps his soul. He's rudderless, like most people in this world, and tries to find meaning or distraction in anything but the actual and only source of meaning and purpose.
You nailed it very true.
The stars on his chest are also another dead giveaway
Beware pirates that don't mind spending time in jail for rape. He's Dopey.
That cold blooded gaze he got from his brother.. Fedor was a scary dude! Especially in interviews when talking about what gets him angry is imagining people trying to take the bread from his family by winning. “They will not take this bread!”
Such a born talent - Without focus and discipline, he still delivered really nice, fluid combos, harrowing haymakers, fought well on the ground, and had undisputable submission talent too... I wonder what could've been if he had obtained full focus and discipline... On one hand, I think his technique, power and stamina would've been through the roof. On the other, it might end up dousing his killer instinct; he beat on his opponents like they owed him vodka money... and Alex *really* wanted his vodka money😅
That 6:12 knockout against Ricardo Morais is still one of my favorites in MMA history. It's so fluid and beautiful i have to rewatch it at least 5 times every time. Too bad Aleks lacked the discipline and moral sense of his brother.
They way he was throwing the lefts in those combos was a thing of beauty.
that soviet style boxing pendelum in combination with strikes he threw was pure poetry in motion. one of the cleanest executed ko i have ever seen in any combat sport ever !
gokhan saki vs daniel ghita glory 6 was a true display of skill of Saki. fastest HW ive ever seen and i dont doubt prime Saki vs prime A.Em would be an amazìng game to watch
@@NinoZGBexactly right. True old school russian "rukopashka" or "rukopashniy boy" just destructive style. Comparable maybe to cuban boxing. I wrestled in judo class with alexander when i was 12 maybe in 2009 i think. He is actually a good guy btw :D
That fake right with the hand swirl was simple and yet so effective. Also beautiful.
The reason you listed to as why Fedor began hating Alex isn't why he was cut from Fedor's life. Fedor criticized child fighting in mma that was being held by Ramzan Kadyrov. Ramzan Kadyrov sent goons to attack Fedor's daughter. Alexander Emelianenko later joined Ramzan Kadyrov's mma promotion and public took pictures with Ramzan. Alex was dead to Fedor from then on.
Glad Fedor stuck to his principles. Kadyrov is a POS and Alex joining his payroll proves he’s the same.
@@justchill5628 what is that even supposed to mean?
not true. fedor disowned aleks years before that and made a public statement about why. the last straw was aleks insulting people fedor respected who he felt had helped aleks. there was a history of acrimony, w fedor considering him a drunk, lazy, a shame to the family etc etc but the split was well before kadyrov and fedor apologized to both kadyrov and putin for criticising child mma after being censured for it(unfortunate but welcome to russia). fedor plays ball with the government, plays nice w kadyrov, and keeps his mouth shut
aside from the split happening well before, he wouldnt disown aleks for doing what he himself does(play ball w the powerful people who run russia)
@@jeffreyopoku-darko2830 theres a video where he says this is way. it came from fedors mouth
Russia is one facked up place. I've served with many russians in the Hellenic army back in the '90s, and they are not likeable guys from a likeable culture...
What shocked me the most was 22 yo Alex already looking like a elder fighter who would retire in the next years
Alcohol ages you big time. Shame he chose it over MMA.
Cro Cop is without question my favorite fighter there's ever been... Those kicks are absolutely f*****g glorious! ... Except then I heard Bas Rutten's voice commentating and my liver started twitching so I guess I have two favorite fighters ever.
It’s crazy how violent and exciting other promotions fights are compared to UFC’s
UFC was a lot more violent at the start, then as it got bigger the rules and restrictions piled it on watering it down into a commercial brand
@@ComicBookGuy420 it's because Dana rigs fights. Everyone knows it. It's basically professional wrestling with more injuries and more blood.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759
No idea about dana white rigging fights although I wouldn't be surprised, for entertainment purposes, I'll take indie wrestler Jacob Fatu over any of the current UFC roster any day of the week
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 as far as UFC having more injuries, google Mick Foley😂
I remember hat fight between Filipovic vs Emelianenko. It was on another level. Great sportsmanship.
Great video.
Shame he never managed to showcase his full potential and even sadder when you see Fedor's disappointment in him every now and then..
He was clearly so gifted and those fights where he was somewhat in shape, his striking looked so damn quick and deadly.
Lmao I love how he just rolled his eyes after that first guy did his taunt.
Despite his deadly kicks, Crocop is such a humble guy in real life.
Tat fight with alex is missmatch, look how big alex is.
had to laugh, called his mother first :) real legend
Hmm ok.
you know him in real life?
Despite this, I heard before the fight against Fedor was very disrespectful towards him but Fedor humbled him like he humbled many others, I love Cro cop regardless, top 5 heavyweight kickboxer all time.
with that speed and strike accuracy it makes you wonder how deadly he would have been if he actually trained his as off
Finishing 5 in opponents in one night is absolutely insane 😂 couldn’t imagine that happening today… someone would certainly die
A David vs. Goliath... stories like this are hard to come by these days!
He would have been the GOAT if not for the alcohol addiction but there you go he still done amazing
Great video! It was frustrating to see Alex quickly go down hill because he was so good. I mean kicks to the head to defend an armbar! That's something Bas would think of. Looks like he had the 'dead eye' even as a kid. Too bad he couldn't put that bottle down.
It's actually pretty natural. Just saw an amateur do it (illegally) to a guy trying a bad technique arm-bar
@@nolianpazac8440 Wow thanks!
There where some Warning Signs dude didnt saw. The Russian Prison Tattoos, the name Emelianenko, Fjedor in the back, the bored Face right before a fight.
Always calm like nothing happening until it's time to whoop. Damn he was the real deal alex 🔥🔥
Alex's fists were like cinderblocks with rockets strapped to them. He was a great fighter in his prime and could have possibly surpassed his brother if he was as dedicated to MMA as Fedor was. Unfortunately for him and fight fans he was his own worst enemy. At lest his story can serve as a cautionary tale not to squander your talents and opportunities for something as fleeting as a "good time".
I always cringe when I see Mirko bust that guys eye socket 😢

And I'd argue fedor too but I wouldnt exactly be too surprised if i was wrong

Great video Tim. Thank you for your time bud
I think what made him a champion was that apart from his skill was that he seemed to have no fear of his own destruction?
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for Alexander 🕊️
Cold blooded legends. Huge fan of them.
Man love the Two Fedor Brothers... No Emotion but strait killers... 🤣🤣💯💯💯
Man stares intensely as his opponent looks at him with dead eyes. Bad omen.
Look at Emilianenkos right hand at 6:16 ! Priceless...
I didn’t realize he had this much potential. He could have been great.
He was.
Amazing natural raw cold talent. Like john Daly in more ways than one
He had it all. He was so fast and powerful with his striking. He was always like "Just another day at the office." Just like Fedor. No emotion.
I hadn’t thought about it but the reserved demeanor that Alexander displayed until the first fist flew was probably my favorite part of watching him fight
same with me for fedor lol
Looks like he’s waiting for a bus that’s slightly late but he doesn’t really care.
V
I understand sports are entertainment and that’s why we have some very outsized (and talented) personalities sprinkled throughout various sports, but I personally was always a fan of the guys who just showed up, did their job (and usually better than most everyone else) and then walked it off like it was nothing. Just another day at the office for them.
Never seen any of your content before not sure if your an individual or on a team regardless this is very very fine work, this is top tier content and you have made a lifetime fan! I will spend the rest of the night going through your library of content , good stuff man ! A fan from Texas!
I didn't know there was a third brother! So cool to hear his views. Great video!
I was always a huge fan of the blank look he gave his opponents.
To me it always said ‘I will destroy you and it’s nothing to me’
I kind of read that with a russian accent like those on TV, haha!
@@Medyo lol!! That’s exactly what I heard in my head as I wrote it
If you die, you die
Opening clip dude was doing his version of the haka while Alex is standing there wondering what time it was lol
Alexander nunca comemorou uma vitória desrespeitando seu adversário. Parabéns, Alexander!
His hand speed is pretty darn good for a big man.
Alexander looks like he's so done with everyone intimidation tactics, he's like "just shut up and punch me already dude"
Fedor hand the mind, and Alex had the body...the perfect combination would have been unstoppable!
Fedor has both, not sure what you're jibber jabbering on about.
Perfect example of how a gift can be a curse. Often the most talented of us don't practice or do the hard work.
Or just get bored quickly, and lose passion. I allways wonder, what would my life be if I listened when it was the time....
He looked dopey and disinterested and the "BANG"! Awesome
5:34 bro made sure his head in the right place for the critical hit, thats too op
Alexander's hands were so good. In his prime, he only got beat by the best. If he could have stayed out of trouble, quit drinking, & had the discipline to stay in the gym... he might be the heavyweight GOAT instead of Fedor.
I love the enthusiasm but I don't think he was quite on the same level as crocop, Nogueira, and fedor. Of course, neither is Kevin Randleman. So, yea, it's MMA, get hit by the wrong punch by someone training at top level of fighting, it's over
Oh, but let's be realistic though, Crocop, Fedor, and Nogueira were all just light heavyweights beating up on HWs cuz they were awesome like that. They were weighing as low as 219 in their fights
Ya. You’re totally correct. All of those guys were undersized HWs. Maybe they didn’t like dieting or weight cuts. That’s what made all 3 of them so great. They where often fighting huys that were taller & outweighed them by 30 lbs. Pride FC didn’t cut off the HW class at 265 lbs like the UFC. They let giants compete… even if they were just for freak show fights.
Good lord, Alex had middleweight speed in those hands. Could have been a legend
Demolition man wow that's awesome , he dont waste any time ..... Huge fan of these guys just really bad ass
i like how he looks genuinely bored and disappointed, and the next moment explodes
My father owned a gym in Europe and we regularly had Russian fighters and coaches show up, they always said that Alexander was better than his brother in training and would beat Fador in sparring regularly, he had so much potential.
Fedea blea
Это правда у Александра была сильная ударная техника
To me they were the Greatest fighters ever love you guys God bless you both JTH
Both brothers were the best!!!!
What a talent this guy was. It's a shame he didn't dedicate himself a little more. Could have been one of the greats.
What a professional video. Well done. Subbed
Pride's allowance of the most savage knee blows was insane. Its like they wanted people dead.
Kots has no rules, it's an underground fighting club. Bloodaxe is famous for eye gouging his opponent's when he's close to losing so he still wins. A "security" pulled out a gun when there was conflict between some people. Some guy who watched the fight but grabbed the t shirt of a fighter when he was at the edge of the cage got beat up by the "security" and the fight continued. It's worth watching, so much blood, so little technique, but you won't see a fight more raw than this.
@@DieEineMieze Jesus Christ, Laura
@@DieEineMieze one Dude ignored the ref and pulled some more punches and got slapped with brassknuckles. They Organizer a Fight on a fucking roof with No Security measurements and normaly Fight on concrete and allow jumping on your opponents head.
I did some shit like that to my elder cousin for rear naked choking my friend randomly. I pushed him off of me 5 times before we were wrestling and I basically had his hands behind his back and I let two knees fly. That was it. He was a self proclaimed street fighting prodigy. I can say with experience and for sure. No matter who you are. Two knees to your ribs will have you tap.
@@JuanCastillo-nx3oiwell yeah that's because broken bones tend to pop out. However if you break them a certain way they'll pop IN. Which will puncture organs or even just important membranes. Repeatedly dropping yourself on both knees is a killing technique, you can't call that mma.
They're called gladiator battles in jail.
Man that hand speed is some of the fastest I have ever seen. To top it off his accuracy is unbelievable. Had he taken MMA more seriously I do believe he would have been a world champion in any organization he chose to fight in. It was really sad how he let that life control him.
Great video 👍
Emelienenko bothers scared the crap out of me as a kid haha
could you imagine getting into a family feud with this family
MMA was different back in the day. Not feeling the same energy these days except from the big fights. Would have been great to see Alex and Fedor in the UFC back then 😢
It's crazy to see. His body had the shape of a sack of potatoes, but he hit like a hammer and cut like a sickle.
We can only imagine what a career Alexander could have had if it weren't for his alcoholism.
I've often wondered how many men he destroyed while in prison?
Like in a row? At once? I'd imagine he was some sort of multi purposed bodyguard.
@@nickvandermey6065 ---- just in general. Did he become an enforcer or security for the prison mafia? Were there dudes who were bigger and supposedly tougher that just wanted to fight him to see how good he was? Did the guards and inmates set up fights to bet on?
I know when I was hired at a topless club it wasn't because I was big, just the opposite. The owner was tired of big doormen because all the drunk tough guys wanted to prove that the big bouncers weren't tough. So the owner hired myself and my best friend. My friend is 5'9" and I'm barely 5'7" but we both are black belts, have been boxing since we were in elementary school and besides that we were smart enough to be able to talk to people to get them to calm down or in my case, because I was smaller I'd tell someone if he didn't stop whatever it was he was doing that he'd have to leave. They always said, "who is gonna make me leave?" I'd say, I am. They would kinda laugh but kinda get that questioning look like I wasn't joking and maybe my size didn't matter. Because I was all muscle, not like a body builder but like a fighter. Popeye forearms, big lats, and triceps.
So back to the subject.
He probably had a few fights and then people realized he was a bad ass. Because he doesn't look like a world champion fighter.
Alexander was an absolute beast. It’s sad to see him letting far inferior people beat him up for money.
Amazing documentary!
Great vid .. thanks 👍
Ffs, dude did all that without hardly training? Multiple time Sambo Champion as well as what he did in mma?? That’s crazy. I know many have already said this but I couldn’t imagine what he could have accomplished if he trained consistently without the alcohol and remained focused. 🤯
Alex was so good he didn't realize what he had.
His stare would make the undertaker think twice.
I remember this fight like it was yesterday..those 2 brothers are frfr KILLERS.
Man looks like he just wanna finish the fight as fast as possible to go back to bed lol
Emelianenko was a good fighter it is a shame that the shadow of his vices held him back and are slowly destroying him.
Jones shaking hands with Alexander is poignant knowing both guys are geniuses with demons.
He could have become a boxing champion. If he trained. The fist speed is unreal for a heavyweight.
*Hungover af Alexander during staredowns: “alright let’s get this shit over with”
with his brothers dedication and training, He could have ruled the world. A natural to be sure.
Never new that there was 3 of them Brother. Ivan Emilianenko..
