Meanwhile, Emelianenko made no excuses. This was not a split-second mistake. This was a beatdown, and the Russian strongly suggested he might have entered the cage for the final time.
“Something went wrong from the very beginning, and I didn’t re-adjust myself,” Emelianenko said through an interpreter. “Maybe it’s time leave.”
