I can’t guess how these fights will end up. Every single fighter has his advantages. Следовательно, I think all of these fights are 50-50.”
Emeev (13-3-0, М-1: 7-1-0), the 2015 M-1 Global Fighter of the Year, is a two-time M-1 Challenge middleweight champion.

The 27-year-old puncher from Moscow returns to the organization in which he made his professional mixed-martial-arts debut April 19, 2009, needing only 80-seconds to stop Nikolay Pleshokov in the second stage of the M-1 Challenge 2009. Volkov went on to capture top honors in the finals of the M-1 Challenge 2009, победив Ibragim Magomedov for the Russian Team Championships.

В таком случае, Volkov had won 14 из 17 pro MMA fights and the popular Russian fighter opened 2012 with an impressive decision win over former UFC heavyweight champion Рикко Родригес.
Volkov had another victory before heading to the United States in order to test himself in Bellator competition. He won his inaugural Bellator fight against powerful Бретт Роджерс, by decision at Bellator 75, in the Bellator Season Seven Heavyweight Tournament.
Two Bellator fights later, Volkov had extended his win streak to 10 in a row, improving overall to 19-3-0 via five-round decision over Richard Hale to capture the vacant Bellator Heavyweight Championship, as well as finish first in the Bellator Season Seven Heavyweight Tournament in Hammond, Индиана, США.

Однако, Volkov rebounded with three straight wins in the Bellator Season 10 В супертяжелом турнир, defeating Bulgarian great Blaygoy Ivanov in the final by way of a second-round rear-naked choke hold. Ivanov is best known, возможно, for defeating living legend Федор Емельяненко in the semifinals on his way to winning the 2008 World Sambo Championships.
