Fedor hand the mind, and Alex had the body...the perfect combination would have been unstoppable!

Fedor has both, not sure what you're jibber jabbering on about.

You're gonna fight a 280-300 lbs Russian alcoholic with a prison tattoo across his back of the Grim reaper cradling an infant. Me: who else is out there?

[@masterkane5340]

This dude is the sole reason as a kid I got into MMA and Martial arts in general. This guy IMHO was one of the best out there when he was on. He jus couldn't keep his ass outta trouble.

[@PhiTonics]

Perfect example of how a gift can be a curse. Often the most talented of us don't practice or do the hard work.

[@stefanfilipov7254]

Or just get bored quickly, and lose passion. I allways wonder, what would my life be if I listened when it was the time....

[@bultronlagore4932]

Ffs, dude did all that without hardly training? Multiple time Sambo Champion as well as what he did in mma?? That’s crazy. I know many have already said this but I couldn’t imagine what he could have accomplished if he trained consistently without the alcohol and remained focused. 🤯

[@ShaneMoore-w2k]

He had it all. He was so fast and powerful with his striking. He was always like "Just another day at the office." Just like Fedor. No emotion.

[@Dutch_Rudder]

Great video 👍 Emelienenko bothers scared the crap out of me as a kid haha

[@larryowens5585]

Alexander was an absolute beast. It’s sad to see him letting far inferior people beat him up for money.

[@tyrantrex734]

Pride's allowance of the most savage knee blows was insane. Its like they wanted people dead.

[@DieEineMieze]

Kots has no rules, it's an underground fighting club. Bloodaxe is famous for eye gouging his opponent's when he's close to losing so he still wins. A "security" pulled out a gun when there was conflict between some people. Some guy who watched the fight but grabbed the t shirt of a fighter when he was at the edge of the cage got beat up by the "security" and the fight continued. It's worth watching, so much blood, so little technique, but you won't see a fight more raw than this.

[@JuanCastillo-nx3oi]

I did some shit like that to my elder cousin for rear naked choking my friend randomly. I pushed him off of me 5 times before we were wrestling and I basically had his hands behind his back and I let two knees fly. That was it. He was a self proclaimed street fighting prodigy. I can say with experience and for sure. No matter who you are. Two knees to your ribs will have you tap.

[@nickvandermey6065]

​@@JuanCastillo-nx3oiwell yeah that's because broken bones tend to pop out. However if you break them a certain way they'll pop IN. Which will puncture organs or even just important membranes. Repeatedly dropping yourself on both knees is a killing technique, you can't call that mma. They're called gladiator battles in jail.

[@steffanofumo]

My father owned a gym in Europe and we regularly had Russian fighters and coaches show up, they always said that Alexander was better than his brother in training and would beat Fador in sparring regularly, he had so much potential.

Это правда у Александра была сильная ударная техника

[@kimberlyfrost4730]

Man that hand speed is some of the fastest I have ever seen. To top it off his accuracy is unbelievable. Had he taken MMA more seriously I do believe he would have been a world champion in any organization he chose to fight in. It was really sad how he let that life control him.

[@colonelkurtz2269]

The stars on his shoulders should tell you something. 🌟 🌟

[@gemox3225]

His hand speed is pretty darn good for a big man.

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

Excellent documentary. Wish you had shown more links to the underworld which truly expmains his downfall. But that would make this a long documentary. Still id love to have watched something longer from this gr8 channel. Gr8 job 👍

[@Lorendrawn]

Jones shaking hands with Alexander is poignant knowing both guys are geniuses with demons.

[@ADSUPINTHIS]

What a talent this guy was. It's a shame he didn't dedicate himself a little more. Could have been one of the greats.

[@robthurston9676]

I like his strategy of not looking his opponent in the eye. Anger is an emotion that drains people. It can be counterproductive to your cardio. Remove it and your often already one up on your opponent.

[@biohazard8295]

Interesting take. I always thought that mantaining eye contact was a power move, and avoiding it meant you were mentally weaker or less confident.

[@ZFlyingVLover]

Alex was so good he didn't realize what he had.

[@13_13k]

We can only imagine what a career Alexander could have had if it weren't for his alcoholism. I've often wondered how many men he destroyed while in prison?

[@nickvandermey6065]

Like in a row? At once? I'd imagine he was some sort of multi purposed bodyguard.

[@13_13k]

@@nickvandermey6065 ---- just in general. Did he become an enforcer or security for the prison mafia? Were there dudes who were bigger and supposedly tougher that just wanted to fight him to see how good he was? Did the guards and inmates set up fights to bet on? I know when I was hired at a topless club it wasn't because I was big, just the opposite. The owner was tired of big doormen because all the drunk tough guys wanted to prove that the big bouncers weren't tough. So the owner hired myself and my best friend. My friend is 5'9" and I'm barely 5'7" but we both are black belts, have been boxing since we were in elementary school and besides that we were smart enough to be able to talk to people to get them to calm down or in my case, because I was smaller I'd tell someone if he didn't stop whatever it was he was doing that he'd have to leave. They always said, "who is gonna make me leave?" I'd say, I am. They would kinda laugh but kinda get that questioning look like I wasn't joking and maybe my size didn't matter. Because I was all muscle, not like a body builder but like a fighter. Popeye forearms, big lats, and triceps. So back to the subject. He probably had a few fights and then people realized he was a bad ass. Because he doesn't look like a world champion fighter.

I remember watching this live on PPV back in the 2000s. Alexander was on another level of striking back then. I know he lost to crocop, but still....

[@sethmeadors1274]

Agreed. He looked so fluid and smooth, I mean remember what he did to Sergei?!?!?!?

[@mikhailkutuzov8051]

Crocop was a monster in his own way too, though

[@TiranoGatoRex]

sorry but this guy was never that good MMA fighter, only participated in some obscure leagues

[@BirdwellingtonAmalgamation]

Losing to Crocop in those days was nothing to be ashamed of. Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery.

[@thanatos8618]

@@TiranoGatoRex He didn't GET that good. We all know why...did you watch the whole video? Aleks didn't attend to his trainings. He never had discipline at all, like his brother. Imagine if didn't have drug issues, which would help him so much on discipline issues as well. He would be even better than Fyodor.

[@ken244]

His hands were greased lighting, Fedor also was extremely fast.

Yup, always important to get the lighting right.

[@evgeny7039]

He could have become a boxing champion. If he trained. The fist speed is unreal for a heavyweight.

After watching this, all I gotta say is he's a great that slides under the radar. And holy hell are his punches lighting fast.

[@nickvandermey6065]

Would you say, Aleksander the great?

[@brandonyoung2894]

Damn ! I dont think I've ever seen a fighter in my lifetime get so much extension on his punches. So he landed at full extension on his opponent it was Nite Nite.

[@thefamilydud2225]

Would have been interesting to see him box, where extension can get you dropped. He’s so fast it might have worked, but he def let’s his guard down. I’d guess he’d have trouble with a counter punching heavy weight.

[@brandonyoung2894]

@@thefamilydud2225 interesting point. Much respect

[@Seryoha11]

It's his speed too, fast twitch possibly. We taller guys do more damage at full extensions, but his boxing was on a different level when he wasn't hungover. Also, imagine knowing this dude can always trip you or throw you down whenever he wants, that combo is scary.

[@shadown5757]

Emelianenko was a good fighter it is a shame that the shadow of his vices held him back and are slowly destroying him.

He was a criminal and a rapist. That was just the one of perhaps many he got caught for. We could imagine the victims that never reported it.. especially in the sovereign block. He could fight.. he could have been a true honourable champion like his brother..but even the great Fedor could not save that soul.
