On May 25, 2013, a mixed martial arts tournament was held in Moscow on a grand scale under the auspices of the Legend promotion. The main event of the tournament was the fight of Alexander Emelianenko. Which was presented in many media as his return to professional sports. After an unexpected loss to Jeff Monson at the M-1 Challenge 35 tournament in 2012, Alexander began talking about a possible retirement. The Russian fighter spent several months after this in the Athos Monastery in Greece. According to Emelianenko, it was the advice and blessing of the elders that pushed him to continue his sports career. And six months later he again entered the mixed martial arts arena. But they chose a very odious and colorful opponent for him. Bob Sapp, nicknamed the Beast, had a loud and controversial reputation in the world of martial arts. A former American football player, he has been quite successful in the Pride and K-1 tournaments since 2002, where his monstrous appearance, charisma and rage brought Japanese fans into ecstasy. Having made a name for himself in the land of the rising sun, Sapp went on tour around the world in 2009, and there his aura began to slowly dissipate, because Bob suffered one failure after another. The American giant, weighing one and a half centners, approached the fight with Alexander with 11 defeats in a row, but at the same time played out his image 100%. He tried to get into a fight at the weigh-in, constantly assumed a very menacing appearance and gave extremely intimidating interviews with loud statements, apparently calling on all his experience in Japanese wrestling to raise the level of interest in the upcoming fight. But this time the fight was more than real, and his opponent clearly had no intention of joking. #Emelianenko #Knockout #Legend
