Alexander Emelianenko knocked out the daring Korean! A tough fight of heavyweights!
Finding a worthy opponent for Alexander Emelianenko in his peak years was a very difficult task. Alexander was a Pride star and crushed his opponents with his heavy fists left and right. Since 2007, he has also successfully performed in superfights and M-1 tournaments. However, there were brave men and sometimes there were even sensations, as in the case of the knockout from Magomed Malikov. But more often, Alexander himself celebrated success, turning on his striking power to the fullest.
Today we will tell you about the fight that took place at the M-1 Challenge 9 tournament and took place on November 21, 2008 in St. Petersburg.
Alexander’s opponent was a very promising heavyweight from Korea, Lee Sang Soo. He had 16 wins and only three losses behind him, he defeated Vitaly Shemetov, Roman Zentsov and Malik Ndaye. The Korean fighter also repeatedly trained with the Red Devil team, where he received the fighting nickname Samsung from his Russian teammates. There he trained with the Emelianenko brothers, knew them well and was therefore completely confident that he could defeat Alexander.
