The return home turned out to be doubtful.
On May 26, a fierce REN TV Fight Club tournament was held in Moscow, in which each fight was a feast for the eyes. Especially fans of mixed martial arts were looking forward to the battle of the veterans. Russian Alexey Oleinik held the first fight after returning home from the UFC. His opponent was the British Oli Thompson, who also participated in the best promotion on the planet. And the result of the fight turned out to be sensational – no one expected this at all!
Oleinik fought his last fight on October 1, 2022. The battle with the Swede Ilir Latifi ended in defeat. The judges’ decision was unanimous. Therefore, the Russian decided to return to his homeland. But in the first fight after that, he hosted a former UFC fighter. Thompson at the same time left the top promotion a long time ago. And he approached the duel with Alexei on a four-game losing streak. It seemed that nothing terrible should happen.
All the details of the fiery tournament:
Alexander Emelianenko won! He took Yershov on Kimura and nearly broke his arm.
It all started optimistic. Oleinik took the initiative into his own hands and put pressure on him. The opponent was forced to retreat to the net and work carefully. Alexei decided to check his crown and went up to the stalls. But in the end, the judge quickly raised the wrestlers to a standing position, it was not possible to develop the situation and get to the reception.
And then something happened that no one expected. Oli caught the moment and literally instantly wrote a real deck for the Russian. No finishing needed, Alexey went flying in the most severe knockout. The television broadcast camera took a close-up of Oleinik’s face, which was literally expressing pain. The doctors immediately flew to the Russian, he had to be brought to his senses.
Ivan Emelianenko’s debut turned out to be successful:
Emelianenko’s third brother is doing well! Ivan won his debut MMA fight
Oleinik, 45, unsuccessfully returned to Russia. Let’s hope that the defeat of the British Spartan does not worry our legendary fighter. In addition, now Alexei has a thirst for revenge, which Thompson is unlikely to refuse.
