Aleksander Emelianenko

Aleksander is the younger brother of Pride FC's HW champion Fedor.

His many tattoos on somewhat wierd places show that he's lived a tough life.

He is a very strong and tough fighter. Although his size sometimes makes him very slow.

He is a relatively new to the pro MMA game. He only fought one big MMA name, losing to CroCop via KO.

Aleksander is probably the future of Pride's HW division, and I think we'll see him many more times in the future.

He weighs in at 275lbs (125kg) and is 6'6 (198cm) tall.

His all time pro MMA record is 6 - 1 - 0 (Win - Loss - Draw).

Slow? for his size, he's one of the fastest hands i've seen..

Handspeed doesn't have anything to do with size. You can be "small" and still have "slow" hands. I mean slow as in his reflexes and reaction time is high. He doesn't move very fast.

Don't judge if you don't understand what I write man.

I just missunderstood thats all. And no he doesn't have very good movement, but thats also the only thing he has to improve or at least concentrate on I think. I can't remember seeing him with submishes so i can't speak about that altough.

I think Fedor was the Sambo world champ some years ago, I could be wrong though.

When i heard sambo, i thought samba.. what the hell is sambo?
andrei arlovski from ufc was a champ to u know.

He is World Sambo Champion and the Captain of the Russian Sambo team. In 2002 he won the world championship here in Thessaloniki......

Sambo is mix of Judo and JJ I think.

yeah, that sounds about correct. You can win on "ippon" etc..

by **pankratios** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:16 pm

I dont think that Alexander was world camp in sambo...I was talking about Fedor.
