Fedor Emelianenko opens up on Francis Ngannou
Emelianenko is considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time and he believes that fighters getting in a brawl with Ngannou can’t beat him. The legendary Russian suggested that one has to takedown Ngannou in order to beat him. Emelianenko recently had an interview with Russian outlet Telesport. He gave his thoughts on former UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov claiming he could beat Francis Ngannou under the old UFC rules. Under them, fights would often last more than 30 minutes.
The 44-year-old revealed the possible way to emerge victorious against Ngannou is to keep a simple gameplan and wrestle him as much as possible.
“I think you shouldn’t… shouldn’t do too much with him. Shouldn’t exchange punches, should better go to the ground. Better break the rhythm, work more on the ground.” (Translated by YouTube channel Fighting Flashback).
Emelianenko is scheduled to make a comeback after being away for almost two years. He will take on Timothy Johnson at Bellator 269 on October 23.
