State Duma deputy, adviser to the head of Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov called the President of the Russian MMA Union Fedor Emelianenko a “dishonest coward” for his criticism of children’s fights at a mixed martial arts tournament, which took place on October 4 in Grozny.
“Emelianenko made a statement in which he criticized the conduct of children’s exhibition fights at the International Tournament “Grand Prix Akhmat 2016” in Grozny. It seems quite strange to me to hear such words from the lips of a person whose moral, ethical and professional image is in deep doubt,” - wrote Delimkhanov on Instagram.
In his opinion, decency and conscience “do not fit into the framework of Fedya’s perception.” As proof, the State Duma deputy recalled the fight between Emelianenko and Fabio Maldonado, the victory in which was “brazenly, vilely taken away” from the Brazilian fighter.
“The entire global sports community witnessed how Fedya, being a shameful loser and severely beaten, used administrative resources and literally stole victory from his opponent. Fedya talks about the need for proper education of the younger generation, but at the same time does not give an explanation why he raised his brother, a drug addict, who beat and raped women,” Delimkhanov added.
He said that he got acquainted with Emelianenko’s life story, learning the details of his early biography. According to the adviser to the head of Chechnya, the future president of the Russian MMA Union “was very afraid and avoided normal guys in every possible way,” so worthy guys never allowed him to see him.
The State Duma deputy also advised Emelianenko to thoroughly study Russian laws and familiarize himself with the concepts of sports ethics, honor and dignity.
“Fedya, remember our telephone conversation well. When you hung up, you didn’t have the courage to speak normally like a man - this is an indicator of your cowardice. In conclusion, I’ll note that no matter who the person is, he will have to answer for every word spoken to my dear ones nephews,” Delimkhanov addressed his opponent.
Thus, Valuev agreed with Emelianenko that children at that age should not participate in competitions according to MMA rules.
Nikolay Valuev: “Every sport is good for a certain age. Fedor absolutely rightly noted that they (the fights) were too early for children, and you can believe the words of a person who really understands this. Fights according to MMA rules include the possibility of finishing off an opponent on the ground; this is unacceptable for small children.”
If minor athletes do enter the ring, then, he emphasized former champion boxing world champion and State Duma deputy, they must use protection, which was not the case in Grozny, TASS reports.

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that past battles must undergo inspection by supervisory authorities, Interfax reports.
