In Alexander Emelianenko’s busy and long career, there were many fights with a variety of opponents. These were stellar and tough fighters from different countries who were not afraid to challenge the formidable Russian striker. Today we will watch a fight that was significant and important both for Alexander himself and for his opponent. It was at the end of 2011 at a mixed martial arts tournament in Almaty. Less than a month and a half had passed since the sensational and high-profile knockout defeat from Magomed Malikov, and Emelianenko was already entering his new fight. He was opposed by the favorite of the local public, the champion of Kazakhstan in freestyle wrestling and the winner of several mixed martial arts tournaments, Tolegen Akylbekov, nicknamed Attila. The Kazakh fighter was inferior in size to his star opponent, but fearlessly accepted this challenge. #knockout #Emelianenko #Kazakh
