All Emelianenko brothers. The success story of Fedor Emelianenko. Problems with law

Not much information is available about the younger brother of legendary Russian boxer Fedor Emelianenko. A well-known fact is that Ivan Emelianenko does not want to follow in the footsteps of his famous older brothers, despite his excellent physical abilities and capabilities.

Sport family. In a simple family, originally living in Ukrainian lands, the legendary boxer Fedor Emelianenko was born in 1976, who today is known for his skills and prowess throughout the world. Two years later, the Emelianenko family moved from Rubezhnoye to Stary Oskol.

The mother of the family worked as a teacher at a local school, the father was a welder. The first child in the family was an older sister, whose name was Marina. The eldest of the sons was Fedor, who achieved the highest peaks. Alexander was born next in order, and the youngest of the brothers was Ivan Emelianenko. Living conditions for the family were initially almost deplorable; they got a tiny room in a communal apartment, the original purpose of which was to dry clothes.

An example of an older brother. At the age of ten, Fedor signed up for classes such as sambo and judo, which gave him moral satisfaction and a feeling of bliss, thereby setting an example for his younger brother. After a year of hard training, he was appreciated and, as a promising student, was transferred to a stronger category. During his military service, the young man did not leave his favorite activity for a day, but, on the contrary, played sports with even greater persistence, and in two years he increased his muscle mass by 20 kilograms.

After graduating from college, he decided to enter the Belgorod University of Physical Education, which he successfully graduated from, defending his postgraduate dissertation.

Brother's fast-paced career. After the army, Fedor devoted all his efforts to developing further physical abilities, participating in more professional competitions. Soon he became the winner of the Kursk tournament, which was of international importance, after which he was recognized as a master of sports in sambo and judo. In the same year, thanks to participation in a major international tournament, Fedor Emelianenko received the title of international master of sports, which only spurred him on to further achievements. Further victories came one after another, bringing new titles and titles to the young man. Among them is the champion title in its weight category. The end of the nineties brought Fedor a transition to MMA and the beginning of cooperation with the Japanese company Rings, with which he fruitfully collaborated over twelve fights. Of these, only one ended in defeat. The athlete’s further career became quite dizzying and rapid. At the moment, Fedor Emelianenko is the president of the Russian MMA Union.

Ivan Emelianenko: Biography. The twelve-year difference between the brothers also influenced Ivan’s worldview, who chose a slightly different path in life than his famous relatives. Fedor Emelianenko's younger brother Ivan was born in 1988. The young man did not have a strong zeal for science, so after graduating from school in 2005, he decided to enter the prestigious St. Petersburg University named after Lesgaft in one of the sports departments.

Throughout the entire period of study, as a student, Ivan continues to persistently engage in boxing and those sports that his older brothers were partial to. Like a real man, the younger Emelianenko decided to do military service, like his eminent relatives.

Future life:Ivana Having achieved the title of master of sports in such areas as hand-to-hand combat and combat sambo, Ivan Emelianenko did not want to move in a more professional direction, conquer the heights of sports and follow in the footsteps of his brothers. Although all conditions were created for him, he was looked after by the best trainers in Russia, who are his close relatives. At the amateur level, the young man continues to practice boxing, but, unfortunately, ignores the offers of the brothers Alexander and Fedor, who want to see him in professional sports.

The hopes of the older brothers for the successor to the sports dynasty: Repeatedly, Alexander and Fedor answered pointed questions from journalists about the reason for Ivan’s reluctance to build a professional boxing career. For example, Alexander believes that Ivan Emelianenko has excellent natural abilities that need to be constantly developed. But he is a true lazy person who does not want to train and hone his skills. Thanks to an excellent base behind him and legendary brothers, he would not have to fight for his place in the sun in these sports. The brothers would easily tell you everything about all the sharp corners that are inevitable in a particular sport, and would provide assistance in reaching a higher level. Fedor spoke somewhat softer about his brother. The following came from his lips: Ivan Emelianenko wants to make a sports career in MMA, but, unfortunately, at the present stage he is not yet ready for this. Both on a physical and on a more serious moral level. And until Ivan develops this at all levels, he will not be allowed to participate in professional boxing matches. He has something to strive for, because thirty years of age is the most optimal for heavyweight fights, with proper preparation.

Ivan Emelianenko: fights. The year 2009 was productive for the youngest of the famous brothers, in which he won the match for the St. Petersburg hand-to-hand combat championship, thanks to which he was awarded the title of master of sports. This fight was quite simple for him from the fights that took place, two were won on points, and the last one was won by knockout. Emelianenko’s younger brother, Ivan, has repeatedly received offers from the Korean company FMS to participate in fights without rules, which consist of three five-minute rounds.

Modern activities other than sports. Emelianenko’s younger brother, Ivan, today, in addition to sports hobbies, has a favorite activity that brings him income and great pleasure. The direction of his activity is the security path, without which he cannot imagine his life. The men in this family are quite friendly. Not long ago, having buried their father, the Emelianenko brothers, Ivan being the youngest, continue to jointly take care of their mother. Each of them has an individual and complex character, which only helps them achieve their plans. Thanks to his strength and fortitude, Ivan also tries to achieve everything with the help of his work and not to use the help of his influential older brother.

The life motto of the family of champions is Strength of spirit- this is the quality that unites all the brothers with the legendary surname Emelianenko. Despite the outward calm of Fyodor, the rebellious spirit of Alexander or the versatility of Ivan, each of them respects religion, believing that everything is done with God's help. In this seemingly cruel sport, you must first of all treat your opponent with respect, putting aside all your inner feelings and desires, say eminent athletes. This principle is one of the keys to success. Ivan Emelianenko, Fedor’s brother, in no way ignores universal human principles, unlike Alexander, who gives free rein to his aggression.

A scandalous example of a middle brother. Fedor, who achieved the greatest heights, is calm, reserved and humane by nature. Alexander was remembered by the general public not only due to his sporting potential, but rather due to his rebellious actions in society. The rebellion of the middle brother Emelianenko consisted of brawls on board the plane and street fights. In the previous year, he received a court decision on imprisonment for a period of 4.5 years as a result of violent acts committed against a housekeeper. Finding himself in prison, Alexander did not lose heart at all; on the contrary, he decided to subjugate everyone to himself. A striking example of his strong-willed behavior in the colony was the smoking ban, failure to comply with which entailed a certain punishment; the implementation of the latter was an impossible task for many. Therefore, the only option was to agree to the athlete’s terms.

Biography, life story of Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko

Briefly about the main thing

Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko is a legendary champion in martial arts, born on September 28, 1976 in the city of Rubezhnoye, Lugansk region. The invincible fighter has many titles, including the title of World Champion according to Pride, according to Rings, Grand Prix Champion Pride, three times World Sambo Champion. The athlete fights in the heavy weight category. Fedor’s physical characteristics are as follows: height 183 cm, weight 104 kg. Of the fights held, the athlete won almost all of them. On May 16, 2012, Fedor Emelianenko was elected the first president of the created Union of Mixed Martial Arts MMA of Russia.

Start

The athlete was born into a family of workers (gas-electric welder, crane operator). In 1978, a family from Ukraine moved to Russia, to the city of Stary Oskol. In the biography of Fedor Emelianenko, his passion for martial arts appeared at the age of 10 years. Then he began training in the sambo and judo section, where the coach was Vasily Ivanovich Gavrilov. In 1987, Fedor entered the sports class of coach Vladimir Mikhailovich Voronov. After graduating from school in 1991, the athlete began studying at a vocational school. A year after graduating in 1995, he began serving in the army.

After the army. Sambo

After serving, in 1997 Fedor again began to actively engage in sports and participate in competitions. In the same year, the athlete won an international sambo competition for the first time. Also in 1997 he was awarded the title of Master of Sports in judo. In 1998, Fedor won the international sambo competition. So in the biography of Fedor Emelianenko, he received the second title of master of sports, now in sambo.

In addition, 1998 brought many other victories to the athlete’s achievements. Fedor won first and third places at the Russian Judo Championship and took third place at the Sambo Championship. The athlete also became a champion in competitions of the Russian armed forces, and took second place in the absolute weight category of this competition. The following year, Fedor Emelianenko won international sambo competitions. At the same time, the athlete’s team became the first at the European Championships.

Hand to hand combat

However, the athlete did not stop there. In 2000, he began to study hand-to-hand combat techniques from coach Alexander Vasilyevich Michkov. Fedor began to participate in fights without rules, first in a more humane version of “Rings”. Having immediately achieved considerable results, already in 2001 Fedor became the world champion in this version of fighting without rules. After this, the athlete moved to a more prestigious version - “Pride”. The harsh rules of “Pride” allow you to kick and punch an opponent in a prone position in the head, and if a fighter is knocked down, to finish him off.

Without stopping practicing sambo, Fedor won the Russian Championship in 2002, then the World Championship in Greece. In Panama, Fedor became the first in the open weight category at the World Combat Sambo Championship. Then in 2003, Fedor Emelianenko won the Pride World Championship in Ultimate Fighting, defeating past champion Antonio Rodrigo Naguier. Many of the strongest fighters were defeated in the fight with Fedor, including Sam Schilt, Heath Hiring, Kazuyuki Fujita, Gary Goodridge.

In 2004, Fedor Emelianenko’s biography included several outstanding fights with such opponents as Kevin Rendleman, Naoya Ogawa, Mark Coleman, Antonio Nogueira. Fedor received two more titles: Grand Prix champion, world champion in fighting without rules, “Pride” version. The following year, the athlete became the Pride world champion for the third time, and also became a three-time sambo champion. In 2006, Fedor Emelianenko was awarded the title of four-time world champion in martial arts according to the Pride version.

From 2002 until November 2008, Fedor Emelianenko never lost. Only in November 2008 did he lose to Blagoe Ivanov from Bulgaria at the World Combat Sambo Championship, held in St. Petersburg. Many then started talking about the fact that it was time for the 32-year-old fighter to retire. However, 2 months later, Fedor was able to prove the opposite to all skeptics, defending the title of world champion in fighting without rules within 2 minutes. In this fight, Emelianenko knocked out Belarusian weightlifter Andrei Arlovski in a crowded Honda Center gym (USA, Anaheim).

M-1 Global

After the bankruptcy of Pride and the purchase of its assets by Zuffa, the parent company of UFC, there were widespread rumors in the media that Emelianenko would fight in the American octagon.

As a result, negotiations failed, and in October 2007, Emelianenko signed a two-year contract for six fights with M-1 Global, a company about which little was known, since it was formed quite recently and was an alliance of Mixed Fight companies M-1", "Sibling Theatricals", "Garlin Holdings Limited", "SFX Media & Event". It was also not known about the level of fighters, the scale of events and the financial viability of the company. However, Fedor pointed out that in "M-1 Global [he] was completely understood and respected" in contrast to the UFC, and the contract itself was more attractive than the one offered by Dana White. In particular, a feature of the agreement was the lack of exclusivity, which gave the fighter the right to compete for other organizations.

Subsequently, the activities of M-1 Global became the cause of conflicts between Finkelstein, who as of 2011 served as president of the company, and other organizations, in particular Affliction. As a result of this, Fedor’s performances were noticeably limited: if in Pride he could hold from three to five fights per year, then after signing a contract with M-1 Global, he began to hold, as a rule, one fight per year, despite the need to hold 3-4 fights per year according to the terms of the contract. Fedor himself is also a minority co-owner of M-1 Global, having a shareholding of 8.5%.

Last Stand

On June 21, 2012, Emelianenko came out against Brazilian heavyweight Pedro Rizzo, known for his performances in early UFC tournaments. Fedor won by knockout in the second minute of the first round. After the fight, the athlete announced his final decision to end his career in mixed martial arts:

I think the time has come, I'm leaving. I also have a world championship in combat sambo. The decision to leave was influenced by family. My daughters are growing up without me, so it's time to leave.

Personal life

In 1999, Fedor married Oksana, whom he met during his school years at a pioneer camp, where Fedor attended a sports training camp and Oksana worked as a counselor. In the same year, their daughter Masha was born. In 2006, the couple divorced. Around the same time, after a trip to Diveevo, Fedor’s churching began. Emelianenko began to think seriously about issues of faith while still serving in the army, but Fedor’s faith took on a pronounced character in 2006.

On December 29, 2007, Fedor and his longtime girlfriend, Marina, had a daughter, Vasilisa, and in October 2009, Fedor and Marina got married. In July 2011, the Emelianenko couple had a daughter, Elizaveta.

Champion according to ProFC 2010

On October 23, a frank interview with the notorious Russian fighter was released Alexandra Emelianenko. Brother of the legendary Fedor Emelianenko told Soviet Sport about his relationship with a close relative, his attitude towards his surroundings and his current activities. Alexander, who was recently released from prison, called the people surrounding Fedor Emelianenko sycophants and told how many years he had not communicated with his brother.

Now Fedor has surrounded himself with “friends” who run after him, and no one will ever tell him the truth for fear of losing profitable connections. There are only sycophants around him.

Alexander began with memories of defeat Mirko Filipovic and Fedor’s attitude towards this fight.

“Some people say that the hardest fight was with Cro Cop. I shouldn't have fought him at all. It was the beginning of a career, there was no experience, nothing at all. The Pride organizers wanted to bring Mirko under Fedya. They started to intimidate him, saying that if he didn’t fight with him, they would take the belt. Well, actually, I suggested to Fedya: “Let me fight him, you can prepare during this time.”

I understood perfectly well that I was going to the slaughter, I had nothing to catch against Cro Cop, I was not ready to fight him either technically or physically. I knew I would get a kick in the head, and that’s what happened. But it was necessary to gain time and help Feda. So I did.

What I am telling you now has not been published anywhere before. Fedya did not thank me for the fact that I really helped him out then. It doesn’t matter that your brother “got it off” from a professional.

Regarding the famous video in which brother Fedor worries about him in the fight with Mirko Cro Cop, Alexander said: “It was a long time ago. Many journalists look at a person on TV and judge him based on what they see on the box. At the same time, absolutely not knowing what kind of person he is. You see, it’s good to sit like this in front of a television camera, “rub” about life and pretend to be correct. This is the easiest thing."

Alexander remembered the old words Sergei Kharitonov about Fedor, simultaneously touching his brother’s entourage.

“The last straw was that before the fight between Fedi and Den Henderson, Kharitonov spoke in the spirit that Den was not an opponent for Fedi. According to him, Fedor could enter the ring drunk and still easily win. These words hurt me. Seryozha should be grateful to my brother that they gave him a way into big sport, but he spoke out so ugly. I stood up for Fedya, and he behaved strangely at that moment. Knowing all the details of the conflict, he distanced himself from the situation and stated that the showdown between Kharitonov and me did not concern him. I felt bad. I always tried to stand up for Fedor in everything, I got into conflicts because of him. But apparently he was no longer interested. Now he has surrounded himself with “friends” who run after him, and no one will ever tell him the truth for fear of losing profitable connections. There are only sycophants around him,” noted.

“And about Fedya, I’ll say this: he has his own life, I have mine. We have not communicated with him for ten years. He himself doesn’t want to talk to me, but I don’t impose,” Alexander ended the conversation about his relationship with his older brother.

Even from Alexander Emelianenko, who is often harsh in his statements, it was strange to hear this. The topic of relationships between the main heavyweight brothers in the history of mixed martial arts has always seemed taboo - both from the overly hot-tempered Alexander and from the modest and closed Fedor Emelianenko.

“My reputation as an athlete does not need to be protected. But in the interview, Alexander hurts the honor of people close to me. I will answer you for the first and last time. Firstly, for you and your entourage I am not Fedya, but Fedor. You hid from everyone that you went to prison for the first time at 18 years old. It’s disgusting to talk badly about the people who supported you and sincerely cared about you.

There was no anger towards Alexander. I have said before that this man is dangerous to society. He is still dangerous, and he will never change.

Nobody forced you to fight Cro Cop. At that time I was competing in the Grand Prix, and the question of fighting Mirko to defend my belt was not even raised. Then Mirko lost to Rendelman, and you jumped at the opportunity, despite the fact that we were categorically against it because of your attitude to training and your inexperience. And they tried to dissuade you from it in every possible way. But not enough attention was paid to preparation. The sports regime was regularly violated, and instead of losing weight and using fast hands, you gained extra pounds. Nobody threw you under the hammer. During preparation, I repeatedly looked for you in bars and found you drinking alcohol. The team asked you to hold the weight, but instead you got a beer belly, and everyone saw the result.

I usually don't comment on other people's statements. But he could no longer remain silent. This is my first and last answer to you. I consider it beneath my dignity to constantly react to your lies. You called my loved ones sycophants. The sycophant is you, Judas. I’m sorry that the people who were close to you and supported you in difficult times are suffering. I myself personally apologized to more than a dozen people for you. You can say whatever you want to me, I will endure it, but don’t you dare insult my loved ones.

Besides, you don’t know my surroundings. And everyone you know helped you and played an important role in your life. And you're not worth their little finger. That's why you're not in my circle. You say in one of your interviews that you can help me. But I don’t understand how you, who have recently been released and constantly violate the regime, can help. There is only one thing - not to disgrace the name of my parents and mine.”

The aforementioned Sergei Kharitonov, a famous Russian heavyweight, spoke about him like this even before Alexander’s interview.

“In 2006, after a serious injury, I immediately went to fight Alexander Emelianenko. There was practically no preparation then. I was told that either I would leave, or they could break off relations with me. I needed to fight then. There was no anger towards Alexander. I have said before that this man is dangerous to society. He is still dangerous, and he will never change. Now he served time, before that he also served time and was released. He was probably born this way; nothing can change him. It may hide for a while, but sooner or later it will make itself known again.

I didn’t watch Alexander’s last fight live. I looked at the recording, and not on my own initiative, but the guys suggested it. And it didn’t matter to me at all. Once upon a time this man could really become famous, he had great potential. Alexander is more talented than Fedor, but the two brothers are opposites. Alexander was superior to Fedor in terms of physical characteristics, height, and all indicators, but you see how it happens,” Kharitonov said. Sergei later, as it seemed to many, was mentioned by Alexander Emelianenko, with whom they had been “friends” for a long time, in a banter video - in an anecdote about the hare Khariton.
