Crime in Sports - #172 - Beware The Russian Reaper - The Dangerousness of Alexander "The Grim Reaper" Emelianenko

Episode Date: August 13, 2019

This week, we take a peek at the life of a man who started out, behind the iron curtain, growing up in the streets. From there, he learned how to fight in the ring, and became one of MMA's most feared punchers. Problem is, he likes to punch things, out of the ring, as well. Like fellow airline passengers, or random bar patrons. He is also proficient in sexual assault, having feuds with his own family members, and saying some really dumb things. He is a roller coaster, from start to finish!! Learn to fight by age 7, do things that make Putin think you're a "good guy", and deny everything, even if it's recorded with Alexander "The Grim Reaper" Emelianenko!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: [e-mail] Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!! Contact us on... twitter.com/[e-mail]/Crimeinsportsinstagram.com/smalltownmurder  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And you, too. So thank you for hanging in there and understanding that. And we're going to come back this week hard, as we do if we take a week off. We come back hard, and we're coming back with an insane, drunken, brain-damaged Russian MMA fighter. Oh, great. So, I mean, it doesn't get any better than that, as we've seen from previous examples of Dotsik. This guy might be crazier than Dotsik, at least more evil.

And that said, we've got to dive right into this because it's bonkers, Jimmy. We've had a Russian MMA fighter before. We've had two, actually.

We had Dotsik. Then we had the Suilev guy there. It was like episode 99, 100 there who was a Russian mobster who killed somebody. It's always crazy. It's great. This guy is amazing because with the MMA fighters we get, obviously, to want to do that to begin with usually is a little... You've got to be unhinged. Loose wiring, we'll say.

It doesn't have to be completely... No. It's loose. Every once in a while a sparkle shoot out when you turn the switch. You know what I mean? A little bit of loose wiring. And then you add in the brain damage after the fighting. So that makes him a little crazier.

Now you add in Russian, which right away means drunk. Also, which is amazing and makes them crazier. And they're fucking Russian, which makes them even crazier because they're Russian. They have no rules. Crap. It's Russia. If you grew up in the 80s in Russia, all bets are off, man. Like this guy did, who we're going

to talk about, Alexander Emelianenko. Oh! It's Fedor's brother. Yeah. Here, yes. With a K. Well, it depends. It depends.

It depends on where you look. Depends on where he feels. Sometimes it's K-S, Aleksander, and sometimes it's Alexander, like normal. Like the great. Like the great, but it's always Emelianenko, which is very fun to learn how to spell as I learned this week. Very fun. It's much like Petrogallo.

It's I feel your pain, Alexander. Yeah. He does not. He has a nickname, though, that I definitely don't have. And neither of us have. We couldn't carry this nickname off either one. The Grim Reaper. Oh.

And nobody, you you know questions it because he looks like the grim fucking reaper this this is a dude who you would imagine in like a in like a movie if the russian if you owed the russian mob a bunch of money and this guy shows up you like accidentally hit one of their daughters with your car or something this would be the guy who would like appear in your bedroom at two o'clock in the morning and you would die of a heart attack because he's a frightening frightening scary individual the last name is scary enough no he is scary man and his brother fedor is one of the they're both terrifying absolutely as well his brother's one of the like most renowned mma fighters of all time he isn't quite that but he's a bad dude we'll put it that way he probably would

be that if he wasn't such a fucking personal disaster. If he wasn't on this show, he would probably be that. But his stupidity really gets in his way quite a bit. His stupidity started all the way back on August 2nd, 1981, when he was born. I assume right from then, it was nothing but downhill. So, 81, he's born in the Soviet Union at the time when it was still the Soviet Union. So, right away, you got to picture 1981 Soviet Union. These are bleak times.

I just picture everything is gray. It's very gray. Reagan's our president then, right? Yeah. Well, yeah, 81. He had just been sworn in in January there. So, our economy was a disaster at the time and things weren't going well. then right yeah he's well yeah 81 he had just been sworn in in january there so he had our economy was a disaster at the time and things weren't going well in russia things were going

poorly there too but they weren't outwardly saying it like you know but very rough times i saw a documentary from like 2008 with phil rosenthal you know he is he's the he's the one of the creators of everybody loves raymond which is a terrible awful sitcom but phil rosenthal, you know who he is? He's one of the creators of Everybody Loves Raymond, which is a terrible, awful sitcom. But Phil Rosenthal is a hilarious guy. He is. Go on. He put what people wanted on the air. We'll put it that way.

But he's a hilarious guy. He changed the money. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, and he made a billion dollars. Yeah, he made literally like a billion dollars. He lives in a castle now. It's insane. So he has a show on Netflix called called somebody feed phil and he goes

around the world and eats food and just great he's just a funny guy that's going around the world without a care when he like his brother's on the crew and he's just eating the best food in the world and just going this is amazing and like he's not like an expert or a cook he's trusting them not to poison him he's not like oh he's going around eating like from the best restaurants and he's not like going like oh the acidity you know really he's just like that's oh my god oh my and he's eating more it's like that's good oh that tastes great he would be like that's unbelievable he'll just put his go they just laugh it's hilarious that's a great show it's a great show it really is it'll bring

you joy fuck yeah bring you joy anyway so this guy he was why didn't anybody think of that before it's just more serious it's like anthony bourdain if he was just like a happy-go-lucky older jewish guy who wasn't really a food you know just kind of just having a great wanted to go learn about food and was going around the world having fun that tastes great that's what he does he's like oh my god how do i not know that existed this is the best how come nobody did this before so he they were franchising the everybody loves raymond series they do this with sitcoms they sell them around the world and then you'll make a lithuanian you know everybody loves raymond great it'll be everybody loves you know whoever the shit and whoever the lithuanian, you know, everybody loves Raymond. Great. It'll be everybody loves, you know, whoever the shit.

Whoever the Lithuanian. Yeah. Like it's everybody loves Kostya or some shit. In Russia. Seriously. Exactly. So they sold it to Russia and he had to go over to Russia to help them set this up. That's part of the deal.

So it's a documentary called Exporting Raymond of this guy going over to Russia and trying to do this. And it's just the bleakest. The television studio, Jimmy, looks like an abandoned warehouse. It looks like from across the street from our hotel in Cleveland, which is like the for lease places that have probably been for lease since 1989. One of those like abandoned was built. Yeah.

Since it was no one ever moved in. That's what it looks like. And it's like you can hear the electricity in the walls. And he goes, you can feel the cancer. You can smell it when he goes in there. And this was in 2008. That's what I'm getting at. So in 81, not good.

27 years prior, it must have been way worse. Terrible. And under communist rule. Just a fucking disaster. And as it was starting to fall apart, he's born in Starry Ascol Soviet Union. I'm sure I'm mispronouncing that. Starry asshole? It's a Starry Asshole Soviet Union.

There. It's a city in Belgorod Oblast, Russia. It's about 300 and almost 400 miles south of Moscow. About 200,000 people there. It's like a mid-sized town. Seems like it's like an industrial type place here it's kind of near a river so i feel very cleveland it's this is the cleveland of russia is this is where he's born you ever been to cleveland we have we just we went there

and uh woof that's a bleak city man let me tell you something guys cleveland it is hilarious i feel you now i'm like i feel people from cleveland and i i identify with them and i give them credit for not as committing suicide on a daily basis if you can muster through a day a week in cleveland you get all the credit in the world for me because i was there for 48 hours and i considered hanging myself they just had a serial killer busted. He murdered from 2010 to 2011, and being there, now I get why. People were probably volunteering. They were probably like fish jumping into a boat.

Is there a killer loose just walking around? Hi. Hello? If you're not dead in Cleveland. Just anybody. You're almost there. You look creepy there can i buy you a beer the businesses it's like nobody did like a market analysis no before they started building buildings because they're like oh we've got this beautiful four-story building in a in cleveland and then people ran away we're not renting mass exodus you're not giving that to us we're not paying you money for that to do shit in cleveland so he is uh he his family his mother's a teacher her name is olga oh olga olga feodorovna

emilianenko yeah so that's i guess at least one of those that's a russian woman right there she's got a babushka on and she's making borscht and That's a sturdy woman. She will beat your fucking ass. Yeah. His father's a welder. Vladimir Emelianenko. Of course. I mean, it's... This is the most stereotypical Russian family ever. Vladimir Alexandrovich.

Alexandrovich. That's his name. That's his middle name. That's his middle name, Emelianenko. Now, he is the third child born to the family, Alexander. He's got the oldest, I guess, as a sister. And then he's got Fedor, who's his older brother. And then they have a younger brother named Ivan, which is another as Russian as you can get.

And then Ivan, who is actually Ivan Drago, who will fight Rocky a few years later. That's what I feel like is happening here. This is ridiculous. This is the George Smith of America giving birth to Peter and then John and then James. And then James.

Right. It's all just... This is Russian biblical is what that is. That's what this is. Yeah, it's really salt of the Russian earth. Jesus Christ.

That is a salty earth. That Russian earth, boy. Nothing grows on it. That's why it's so salty. So salty. All we can grow his potato too much salt that's all it is we don't even have to fucking salt the french fries we don't sub they come up very salty tasty tasty you need vodka to wash down so he in his childhood his parents worked a lot and he was like a latchkey kid. So he just hung out on the streets, which apparently were rough. Apparently, you know, I imagine a shitty industrial Russian Cleveland in 1981 under communist rule.

Not everybody's probably walking around thrilled. It's probably pretty shitty, I would imagine. So he used to be all sorts of street fights and his parents are working. And so he would just go out and do shit and they come home. He used to be all sorts of street fights. And his parents are working. And so he would just go out and do shit. And they'd come home. How you doing? He's all bloody and just fighting people.

He was apparently involved in a riot between neighborhoods. A riot? A riot. At what age? As a teenager. We'll talk about it. Good Lord. He describes it.

But when he grows up here through his teen years, he's huge. He's 6'4", about 255. Sweet Christ. He's a monster. As a teenager. Yeah. Well well that's what he fights at later so he grows into that so he's a monster dude he looks scary he is scary and he's afraid of nothing oh and he's drunk most of the time so be careful around this guy if you see him wandering the streets maybe give him a wide berth so i found an interview with him yeah uh here from uh jesus christ i think this was a bloody elbow or something or uh one of the shirt no it was a sure dog interview i apologize sure dog.com here and uh he says here about his childhood quote well uh we did everything you know well you know uh if i started for, it's all normal and not out of the ordinary, you know, about my childhood and when I was a teenager, life and what took place.

If I was to start telling today's kids and tried to compare them and their lives to me and my growing up, of course, it's going to be completely different. You think that is the most confusing statement? Well, it's also translated from Russian, from an MMA from a brain-damaged, drunken MMA fighter. So that's a lot of filters to put on it. Brain damage, alcohol, MMA, fucking Russian to English. It's very much. That's too many dictionaries to carry around. Hold on.

They don't make a Rosetta Stone for that. Wait, I got it. I have it from sober to drunk right now. And I'm working on the translation uh also from sober from drunk to brain damaged i'm getting into that and then i'm going to work on the russian to english afterwards is everybody okay with that it's going to be a minute uh so yeah obviously if you grew up modern day or in 1981 communist russia it's going to be a different thing here he says you know maybe some things that will be really shocking to a teenager or

an adult now for me at that time was just in the scope of normality and nothing out of the ordinary just a normal situation when we went to fight this is about his gang fighting uh i remember we had in our city this huge conflict and we fought one inner city suburb against another we gathered something uh something like a thousand of us and we fought against their thousand that is bananas what the russian outsiders do shit differently this isn't like patrick swayze and fucking emilio estevez and ralph macchio this is two thousand crazy russian teenagers fighting in the streets and you've got to figure out which one belongs to which hood. That's the crazy. The funny thing is, that's what they ask about that.

They ask, how did you know who was who? So we'll get to that here. But he talks a little more about it. He says, we gathered on one huge abandoned building site, picking up sticks, basically anything that came to hand, rocks and started fighting. So they met like it was like it was a rumble. Yeah they they met like this was the greasers and the sojas and they're gonna meet for a fucking rumble except it's 2000 insane russian teenagers instead of like 12 kids from fucking nebraska or wherever they were from oklahoma 2000 bc nobody brought a weapon with

them no just find something when we get there we're going to a construction there's gonna be sticks and rocks and fucking lumber right yeah we'll get a bolt i don't care this is nuts he said we overturn cars sometimes police cars and that's not and that's not normal you know it's youth okay yeah basically one of our friends was hurt by the kids in the neighboring suburb and then friends of friends and friends of their friends came and that's how it eventually happened many people showed up the authorities didn't know what to do where to send us what do you do with 2 000 unruly teenagers where do you start shutting that shit down that's what i mean you just tear gas start shooting pepper i was gonna say bean bag like those jail things they shoot for to stop prison riots in the yard like Don't they have like... Bean bag things. Pepper spray bombs that hit them and then they go off.

Those things happen, right? I'm sure, yeah. I doubt they had them in 1981 or 87. They did that shit in 68 in Chicago at the Democratic Convention. Okay, then they got them. They were putting tear gas shit on there and then the protesters were throwing them back.

Putin's fucking poisoning people by now. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. They've got some shit there. Putin loves this guy, by the way. Really, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. They've got some shit there. Putin loves this guy, by the way. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a fucking...

Huge fan. Well, they're both psychopaths. He's got his t-shirt. It's perfect, yeah. It's goddamn perfect. So, yeah, so they're overturning police cars. No one knew what to do. Now, the interviewer here said,

in a fight like that, how do you know who's fighting on whose side? Yeah. Because there's no... Everyone wear... We all wore red shirts? Okay, good. You guys got green.

Let's fucking rumble. Tommy, you wore green today. What the fuck? He says, well, all of your foes, they are coming head on at you and all of your friends. They're behind you, supporting you. Not once it starts. Yeah. Then everyone's turned around.

Right. If you're all running from one direction, you get it. But after three minutes, a thousand people, you don't know all those people. It's not like, you know, oh, that's Tommy. Like, no, that's a thousand people. What if you're in the sixth wave? You don't know what's going on. Eventually, those guys are behind you.

Oh, it's a mess. People are on the ground. Who do you pull off a who? Really, they needed a uniform system. So they said, the interviewer said, quote, so with sticks. And he says, quote, anything that came to hand, basically, though, that we tried not to pick anything up that was blatantly a cold weapon like knives, stabbing weapons, et cetera. But still, sometimes that's when he trails off.

Sometimes people got people get stabbed a little bit. They said, did you ever get beat up at such things? He said, of course, I'd get it and they'd get it. Everyone would get it at some point. We were young. You get stabbed and beat it and they'd get it. Everyone would get it at some point. We were young. You get stabbed and beat with sticks when you're young. Everyone does. So he said, I was in maybe eighth or ninth class, which is 13 or 14, eighth or ninth grade.

Imagine to yourself, say 200 kids, 13 or 14 from one side and a similar group on the other side, maybe a little older. But they're but really they're children. They get together and start, you know, having watched some movie about something and they pretend or they're fired up by some song it is easy to start a russian teenage riot fired up by some song they watched a movie and wanted to pretend something or heard a song that fired them up so we're all gonna riot with sticks in the streets no oh my what the hell kind of music are you listening to over there? No one really want to ban music over there. No shit. That's Christ. That band Puffy Riot is creating havoc.

They're banning the streets. Unbelievable. Hundreds of kids. He said, sometimes kids didn't even know why they ended up there or what for. Some are there for a friend, et cetera. Most fights started over small stuff. Someone took a friend's money and went to work things out. Those hooligans called their friends. called our friends everyone called someone and so and so god

fell on this church i don't know what that means but that's uh they said that was a direct translation god fell on this church that must be or maybe that means it's like a russian i'm sure it's like a russian cliche that's russian such as life yeah yeah and so yeah whatever it is what it is right russian it is and god fell on this church i don't know what you want from me i didn't fucking god what do you want that's what it is i don't know so uh he said they had no idea what to do with us imagine 500 children what do you do with all them is it 200 a thousand or 500 right how many fucking kids are involved in this number strikes you are way all over the board here. Did God kill a bunch of them when he fell?

Ah, that's what happened. It was a thousand, then five hundred, then down to two. He says, what do you do with them? What did they do? Stood and watched. Called out, I guess this is the police, tried somehow to separate us and make everyone leave, but it was useless. If today everyone leaves, tomorrow we gather again,

and it's the same thing. What do you do? We needed to sort things out sometimes it worked we'd turn up sort something out and then everyone goes home and things are quiet for a while then later again it's the same thing and then eventually some of your foes from those fights become really good friends okay that doesn't happen in gangs mostly in the u.s no but it does sound very familiar of like being a kid when i was a kid just not on yeah so many kids just not

on a riot on a riot scale well it's the difference between russia and colorado springs probably as i would say that's the main difference there's no buildings smoking and rubble no that's that's what that's that's what it is right there they're trying to remove the asbestos here they're still installing it it's just not enough asbestos in this building that's what they need is osha over there that's all that's all you get osha over there it fixes everything so yeah he says okay this is this is awesome now this is his definite this is russia okay put this shit on a postcard everybody quote basically like in russia a long time ago fist fights on holidays and during celebrations so So it was like Festivus.

Like, you're not a Seinfeld guy. Festivus was feats of strength. Was, uh, George had to fight his father. That's part of it. It's like, you tell people there's airing of grievances. I got a big problem with you people, and you tell them what they did wrong

this year, and then there's feats of strength. Where someone challenges someone to, like, a wrestling match in the living room that's great that's what i feel like is going on here he says fistfights on holidays and during celebrations men would drink go outside take their shirts off and then go fight each other in big groups for fun merry christmas yay russia it's fucking negative 14 degrees. Take your shirt off and we fist fight. What the fuck are you people? We settle this like men. This is a different breed of folk here.

This is like hillbillies on steroids. Right. Like they'd fit in in West Virginia for like two weeks. And then West Virginia would be like, these fucking guys. And not for these assholes. Hey, some bitches are crazy. I can't get them to take no pills or nothing. I said, calm the fuck down.

Take some of these. And they're like, nah, we don't want none. And then they'd punch me in the face for no reason. Can't get them to keep their fucking shirts on. So they'd fight in big groups and, quote, and straight after, all go back to drinking again. It was literally just for fun. It was like Dotsick and his friends. Remember them fighting outside that thing?

It was just for fun. That's what they were doing. How is that a thing? It's fight club, but very less formal. It's just that celebration. You get your brother-in-law. You're like, let's go fight. Yeah.

Then you go out there and take your shirt off in the cold. It's fight club, but you tell everybody. You tell everybody. And you hope maybe a bear wanders through and you can fight him, too. I feel like, oh, we fight the bear now. Yes. Very good. First rule of Russian fight club club tell somebody tell everybody tell six friends second rule of russian fight club

sticks are okay it's fine third rule when you're done everyone goes back to drinking again for the rule tell more people tell more people so he says, like real men used to do here, gather, fight, and then everything is fine again. That was the definition of a real man, if we just hung out and drank and fought and then went back in and hung out again. What if we just hang out and drink and not fight? You know what I mean? That'd be fun. Just hang out and smile. Let's do that.

Absolutely not. It's only about drinking. Let's smile without blood coming through our teeth but that's the fun part then what do you have to talk about after a big brawl you have something to talk about for a while i guess that's conversation why aren't you talking i'm sucking blood out of my gums that's why now we have something to talk about this is very much better now very very much better so uh he stated the interviewer said well where were your parents during all this a very fair question absolutely absolutely fair question i didn't even think of

that one that's what i mean because it's russia you figured they were like killed in chernobyl or some shit or in a mining accident or something yeah the school didn't find everyone wasn't killed from asbestos at their school where the fuck were vladimir and olga that's what well he said they worked that's what he said they were working 24 hours a day. They're working. It's their poor. That's what it is. They didn't have a lot coming up.

He said that basically he doesn't hang out with anybody that he from his old town. He said, when I left the city, I was born. I left everyone I knew there. He said, it's not even that I left them there myself. They decided to stay there themselves, so to speak. All my friends, people of a limited. It's not that they had limited perspectives. They had limited ways of thinking.

So he basically moved out of his shitty small town and went to the big city. That was what he was doing here. Yeah. He said people who are farther than the territory that the place where they live, they can't see beyond that. So, yeah, he's talking about that. He says, quote, no matter how often you put a peasant on a throne, he will remain a peasant. Hell, yeah. place where they live they can't see beyond that uh so yeah he's talking about that he says quote no matter how often you put a peasant on a throne he will remain a peasant hell yeah and so it is with my old comrades they were friends there were friends but then at any given moment they were

suddenly too different and walked away from me on their own accord so i was like a yacht that gathers speed and the others some keep up others. God, he's a fucking quote genius. Yeah, well, yeah, it's a good... That yacht line is great. The peasant line is really solid. He's very, like a, he's like Tolstoy, basically. He's got a lot of, he's got, he's slinging some Russian fucking, some Russian verbiage at us like a bastard here. He's like a Google rap name generator, though.

Yeah. That is a solid quote with the peasant. That's not bad. Yeah. Others will remain a peasant yeah that sounds like something like like uh master p would have said like in a in between in an interlude how many times you put a peasant on a throne it'd be a conversation they'd be like yo man how many times you put a peasant on a throne he's gonna he will remain a peasant

and then it would kick in with some terrible ice cream terrible fucking awful southern beats with constant that horse shit that i hate god i loved it oh that shit i heard with a with a with like three notes of a piano oh god terrible not like that old east coast shit that had soul and like had old piano hooks. Soul shit from the 70s and hooks and cool stuff. No, no, none of that. We just want that. Three things and no lyrics. Just a fucking chorus repeated.

We can make a masterpiece song with your... That's it. That's a masterpiece song. And then you just go... Like four times. And then we loop that through the masterpiece song and then you just go like four times and then we loop that through the whole song look at that and i used to bang it oh man and then we represent and ruin his career blaring through the camera so jesus christ so uh yeah he says they either keep up or on their own or they fade behind uh so he said quote when he was fighting he said at 16 at the training school i basically had a good time this was a time

when everything got interesting hanging out girls uh that sort of thing and now this is when he started getting into because he will talk about him uh fighting basically and when he gets into fighting because he gets into it at a very early age. He gets into Sambo, Judo, and shit like that. Wrestling, boxing, all sorts of shit. Also played basketball and soccer and shit in school. At 16, his mother forbade him from boxing. So he said he wasn't allowed to box, but he kept doing it in secret, apparently, here.

Also, at 16, he was a Russian master in Judo. At 16? At 16. He here uh also at 16 he was a russian master in judo at 16 he was doing judo since he was seven he started doing judo in 1988 incredible so yeah he's he's a bad dude he said quote in reality it was a very difficult time that teenager every teenager has to overcome i was training boxing and my mother forbade it and i didn't tell her that i was going to boxing i would come home and hide all my gear in the entrance to my building in a mailbox. So he said there were these big mailboxes, and I had a whole bag in one of them. They were my boxing glove, training boots, uniform, towels, helmet. I had everything, and I hid them.

And so I'd say, Mom, I'm going out for a walk. And she'd say, Okay, son, of course, go for a walk. And then I'd go to the letterbox, get my bag, and go training. And then I'd go back home and hide my stuff again. And next thing you know, next day, he's going back for a walk. And then I go to the letterbox, get my bag and go training. And then I go back home and hide my stuff again. And next thing you know, next day he's going back for another walk. So he said this was the time his friends were hanging out and drinking beer and hanging out with girls and he would be training. That was his main thing.

So that's kind of the way this worked. He says off the street, kept him off the street after he was already on the street, said many of his peers became drug addicts. He said some overdosed some were killed in other ways he said that uh you know he was just happy to get away from there and uh do that and he said he finished his education as an electric welder oh he said in reality i studied i gained to become entry to become an electrician then for bad behavior they transferred me to the lathe operators which is way different that's a terrible that's not a good job that's not a good one no then for bad behavior again where else do you go they transferred me to the crane operators then for

some reason they transferred me to the cooks i'm gonna go with bad behavior yeah just as a probably you know i feel like it's a good bet from a crane operator you you were a bad behavior yeah to the cooks you did some bad behavior as a fucking that's dangerous as shit and then finally they transferred me to the electrical welder so apparently it was just a circular yeah circular thing russia one big circle so you fail backward into the same position yeah he said i'll tell you the training school the electrical welder class. When I entered the electrical welder class, it had just received as a gift from the school this big cake. The cake was for being the best class that half year out of the whole year group. And they were so proper.

They almost all wore communist badges. They were so good. And I came in, had a look at everything. I can't take all the credit for making the class do everything that it did from then on but for some reason during the next half yearly period the class became the worst class in the entire school it's not because he says and it's not because i blatantly turned the boys bad i just showed them a few things ways to see some things i said that one doesn't need to live by some rules made by no one knows whom. One needs to look at things more simply.

He's very Occam's Razor, this guy. Doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. One needs to live and live simply. To live and just be happy with life. So that means to be bad and fuck off. So it went from the best class to the worst class. And the only addition was him. That's it.

The only difference between the worst class and the best class is Emilio Nanko. He says, so they put me in with the welders who were the best class, hoping that that class would change me. But it happened that I changed the whole class instead. 30 people and they never got a cake again. Yeah. He's the problem. He's. Oh, this show should. Yeah. He's the problem. He's. Oh, this show should be called.

He's the problem. That's this guy is always the problem. He says he says everything. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary at this time. Everything was normal. He said, because I went through everything and on my and in my own turn, I was, so to speak, cooked in the same porridge. Of course, now my life is completely different than them. Yeah.

So he talks about this whole shit. He says it was just a lot. Life was just simpler here. He said he spent a lot of time on the streets. There was nothing to eat at home. We ate just cooked spaghetti with my brother or just potato. And the best scenario, my mother would make a cabbage soup of some kind on some kind of bone for bouillon. She'd make a nine liter pot for the whole week and we'd eat it until we were finished.

And that's how we ate. So just basically a fucking bone on a cabbage soup. And that would be like, ooh, Russian Charlie Bucket. Yeah, this is this is going to be good. So that makes you want to go out and fight in the streets, I guess. Apparently, he he said so they had to amuse themselves and come home to eat because it was the only place we could he said it was very hard to train seriously so we did what we had to do whatever we had to do to survive he

said he didn't refuse anything didn't turn away from anything but we didn't do anything that made us less than people and then his mother and father separated when he was 14 and he said his father stopped thinking of, started thinking of his own stomach and his own life. He stopped helping us, stopped helping my mother. If she spent her teacher's salary just on herself, then my father spent his salary on himself. Didn't help us at all.

Oh, Jesus. So his father left. And yeah. So they were getting spiteful against each other. Yeah. That it cost the kids. With a bunch of, yeah, with a bunch of kids. Assholes. Yeah. That it costs the kids with a bunch of with a bunch of. Yeah.

With a bunch of kids. And yeah, big kids, too. That's the other thing. So he said the streets brought us up. He said everything. You know, he tries to remember happy times. There weren't a lot of happy times. He said there were times of change, hungry times, cold.

And I grew up on the streets. This guy got that big eating cabbage soup can you imagine if he had protein that's what i'm saying from a young age if he had like a young american child's diet if he had mcdonald's three times a week this kid this guy'd be a monster he'd be huge uh so they asked him if he still talks to his dad and he said he has not spoken to him in a long time he said he had a conflict when he was 16 years old when he told me everything he thought of me. And now that all this time has gone by, the time when I needed him, when I didn't have

him there, and now I've become successful, I've become a known person when people all over the world know me, of course he wants to communicate with me. But why? He says. So that's his whole thing. So yeah, in 88, he reached the qualifying standard of a judo master in the Russian Federation for that. 1999, he graduates from vocational school with a specialization in electric welding, as we mentioned. 1999, he's also 18 here.

He wins the he's the gold medalist at the 1999 European Championships Sport Sambo competition here. It's an amateur Sambo competition. He's the gold medalist there. Now, notice the time lapse. That's 1999. Everything's going solid. Next thing we talk about is 2003. Okay.

He disappeared for four years? We'll discuss that and what one person says and then what he says in defense of that, which is probably not true based on this time lapse. Okay. Because he's going pretty well, 98, 99. He's doing it all of a sudden. In 2003, he moves from Starry Asshole to St. Petersburg. Oh.

Not Florida. In 2003. Not Florida. Coming to America. Oh, baby. He's coming. I figure I'm going to move to Florida. I don't know why. Why I'm going to do that. You know why i'm gonna do that assholes not for me it ain't for me i i want to talk like this so i thought

maybe like you know the panhandle but you know what saint petersburg it just looks nice with tampa right there but it's like a little smaller than tampa so you don't get all that congestion like the sun and fun it's tampa without the roosters running around, if you know what I mean. Tampa, get your fucking shit together with those roosters, man. That is so weird. I don't care how long they've been there. You cannot have roosters in your streets. No.

You can't do it. Chicken shit is gross. Ground them the fuck up and get rid of them all. I'm sorry. Put them in a cage. I'm not saying you have to do it non-humanely. I don't say go kick them all. Round them up.

Do whatever you have to do. Get them the fuck off the streets. You're not eating them, obviously. So what are you doing with them? Disgusting. It is. It's vile. Hey, everybody.

They're very strict about criminal records and things like that. So there's something that's going to come up where we're pretty sure he had a criminal record wiped clean by the Russian government to allow him to go overseas and fight.

Really?

Knocked the guy out cold for several minutes in 28 seconds. Wow. He's on a run of three fights that he hasn't been in the ring a whole minute for. Literally, his last three fights combined are less than a minute of ring time. You ever knock somebody out? Yeah. For more than a couple of minutes?

I don't know about that. I have not. I'm not going to stare there and watch. I've seen people go down, and I've seen them get knocked out, and I've never seen it for several minutes. No, several minutes is bad. That's horrifying.

That's terrifying. Yeah, that's not good. That's what happens there. Somebody get the police, and I've seen him get knocked out and I've never seen it for several minutes. No, several minutes is bad. That's horrifying. That's terrifying. Yeah, that's not good. That's what happens there. Somebody get the police and I'm leaving. Yeah, that's like on a football field, guys will get knocked out like that and they bring out smelling salts and all that shit, but without medical intervention. Oh, God, that's terrifying.

So December 31st, New Year's Eve 2005 here. Submission win with a rear naked choke against Powell Nastula. Some random guy here. Eight and one. This brings him to 2006. He is the World Combat Sambo gold medalist again at that one competition. May 5th, 2006. Pride FC.

Total elimination. Absolute. You're killed. What year? It's to the death. What month? May 2006. That's the end of it.

To the death. That's it. We're doing it now. Total elimination absolute. You're going to cut your head clean off if you lose. We're done. We had final conflict. And now this is total elimination absolute bukkake.

This is how this works. I'm sorry. Your head is going to be rolling around with jizz all over it. That's how it works. That's what we do. You lose, you guillotine, and then it's a bukkake fest all over your disembodied, your severed head, your dismembered corpse. So this is Josh the War Master Barnett here that he fights.

He's a 35 and 8 fighter. This guy's no joke. He's on a lot of main events. He's a real-8 fighter. This guy's no joke. He's on a lot of main events. He's a real no-joke fighter here. This fight goes two rounds, and Alexander loses by submission here. Gets caught in a keylock and loses.

Now he's 8-2. And that was apparently a tough loss for him, too. He was hurting after that loss. September 10, 2006, he fights Sergei Karatunov. Karatunov? Karatunov. after that loss september 10th 2006 he fights sergey uh karatanov off karatanov karatanov i don't know 28 and 6 career fighter that translates to carrot top in english i believe sergey carrot top sean carrot top i believe that translates to in english sean carrot top good to

see you 28 and 6 career record for sean carrot top uh this This is a TKO in round one for Alexander, bringing him to 9 and 2. Not too shabby. So November 12, 2006, he fights Fabricio Werdum. Fabricio. He's fighting an Italian guy? It's a Fabricio. Yeah.

Werdum, I'm not sure. That's his last name. W-E-R-D-U-M. Maybe he's English. What the fuck is is but 23 and 8 is what he is in his career here now this fight he says emilio nenko here says that he didn't train at all for this fight he says he didn't train his original opponent was not supposed to be wordham it was supposed to be somebody else so he didn't train for this fight at all got it apparently

somebody thought he could knock out in 12 seconds. Not this guy. This guy ends up beating Alexander by submission with an arm triangle choke, bringing him to nine and three. So somebody discovered he doesn't want to go to the ground. He doesn't want to go to the ground. No, he doesn't. Well, I mean, you look at this guy and you see what he does and you go, well, don't fucking stand there.

He'll knock you out cold for several minutes. That seems like not something I want to do. My name is Fabrizio. I clearly do not box. If you're fighting Mike Tyson and the option is to not have to exchange punches with him, you'll try to dive at his ankles. If that's the, you know, you'll do something else.

Oh, just fight him? That sounds terrible. I'm not doing that at all. No. Why would I do that? You mean there's a gun in my corner i'll clearly use that i better hit him before he gets to me though because he's gonna fuck me up otherwise so uh april 14 2007 this is like a like a countries versus countries competition here in saint petersburg uh this is first big er Pele, who's an American guy. He's a 6'2", 340-pound

fat bastard with an 11-5 career record. Alexander wins by knockout in four minutes, bringing him to 10-3. On hand at this fight are Vladimir Putin, Silvio Berlusconi, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. You have to be hanging

out in the same group. Now, okay, I don't know about Jean-Claude Van Damme. You have to be kidding me. Hanging out in the same group. Now, okay. I don't know about Jean-Claude Van Damme's politics. I didn't realize that he's a far right wing. And we're not talking right wing like American left right. Oh, this is way far right. We're talking, yeah. This is like global right wing. Like crazy.

Kill everybody. Yeah. Like KGB right wing. Crazy shit. Poison everybody. Take over the world. There's a few people in the US lately. I don't know where they got it from, but they are, they like lately think Putin's a decent cat.

Like they're like, yeah, he's a good, no, Putin's a fucking monster. That's not subjective. No, it's not. And it's not political. It's not even like, it's not even. He's a human monster. There's no argument. So don't even, there's don't even go the other way.

He's a reptile in human skin that will eat you. It will unhinge his jaw and take you in like a fucking snake. Beneath his suit, there are scales and slime. Yeah, that's what it is. It's very frightening. Yeah, that's how the suit sticks to him. Not a good cat at all. If you know it.

And then Berlusconi somehow is slimier than Putin. Right. He's like Putin without the KGB training. He's Putin if Putin is just a scumbag businessman who likes to fuck 18-year-old prostitutes all the time and brag about it in front of the country. I'm like a park bench. Yeah.

You know, he told me I got to sleep, so I guess I'm sleeping. I need rest. I'll take my rest.

He wins in the first round, Alexander does, with a submission 11-3. Jesse's exhausted. He's been on the road all night. He had to drive his big rig to get to the fight. He goes, I had delivery to next town. I said, I'll take that fight. I'm going to be delivering something right there anyway. It's all in the way.

Anyway. So July 30, 2007 alex and olga have a daughter oh boy of course because he should bring children in the world her name olga her name is polina oh not olga well done not olga jr thankfully so uh break the cycle name after my mother i know same name you all just say that's why we all same name we name after mother keep going forever and ever Paulina though

that's the root word of pollinator I believe so the pollinator October 19th 2070 fights Dan the Bull Bobbish

okay Dan the Bull Bobbish is he a white guy I mean I'm an American guy I believe so he's clearly a white guy something like that

yeah he's definitely 6'1 332 holy shit that is a fucking fucking wide man that is a big beanie butterball of he's like a butter bean yeah that's what he is he's that's pretty much butter beans like in his payday before he got really fat god that's a lot of person yeah he's 17 and 9 in his career and uh he wins alexander does with a submission guillotine choke. So he got down on the ground with this fat fuck. He got around him? It must have looked hilarious watching this guy like a turtle on his back.

Big fat baby. Yeah, gotta get up. His legs going up in the air. That must have been awesome. Yeah. At a minute and nine seconds. Oh. So didn't take very long.

12 and 3, this brings him to. This is Bobish's last fight last fight for the bull as he hurts his back in this fight and he didn't want to have surgery so he just retired instead now march 2008 this is fucking hilarious this is when a rift starts between alexander and fedor yeah they're not pals anymore no they for the last about 10 12 years they have not brothers Brothers don't talk. They don't hang out. No.

They, as a matter of fact, take shots at each other in the press back and forth. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, it's pretty fucking amazing because they know a lot about each other. Oh, way too much. This might be what started it because basically there's an interview published. This is March 21st, 2008. Fedor, they ask him a direct question. They say, was your brother ever been prison alexander and

he says yes he was as a matter of fact he was sentenced to uh five years in prison but was released after three and a half uh-huh huh kind of like mid-99 if he went to jail and came out in like 2003 ready to fight young man uh yeah that's three and a half years where he said where the fuck did he go right probably prison that's the point think about that yeah there's no other time in his whole entire career before or after where he disappears for three and a half years wow here he disappears and his brother's like hey he was in prison they just asked him a direct question he answered it there wasn't like oh this is a i don't know if i can say it i shouldn't tell you he was just like oh yeah it was in five years they sentenced him to he and a half. Like, next question.

For what? Well, that's the thing here. So, yeah, they said it's at this point. He says that he still lives in Starry Asshole. Yeah. Fedor did. And he goes all over the world. That's like up here we got Table Mesa Road, which is table, table.

Starry Asshole is just Asshole, Asshole. Asshole, Asshole Road. That's like up here we got Table Mesa Road, which is table, table. Sorry, asshole. Just asshole, asshole. Asshole, asshole road. That's it. He says, yeah, they rarely see each other. And they talk about this whole thing. And Fedor says it's true. They gave him five years, but he was released ahead of schedule after three and a half years. And the interviewer says it seems for

robbery and he says fedor says quote there were many episodes i don't feel like stirring up the past uh having lost three years returning to the ring is a feat and he says not in this case it's far from a feat although three and a half years greatly delayed his growth as an athlete and in everyday terms alexander became different the prison left its mark his views on life have changed it seems to me not for the better as we'll talk about with his tattoos and everything else yeah this is this is the thing uh when we're talking about episodes are we talking like as many episodes in like a season of the wire or like as many episodes as like steinfeld i think we're talking yeah i think we're talking like uh uh like i love lucy level like on tv for 12 years like say by the bell amount of simpsons amount of episodes

at this point i feel like it's like a 32 year this is a problem yeah and it was good for like the episodes were good for like the first 18 even and then just the last 12 the episodes have gotten a little a little sluggish you know what I mean? They farmed it out to interns. It's not as good anymore. Yeah, so he says, they ask him, are you different than your brother? And he says, yes, I am sure this could never happen to me, Fedor says. While Alexander was looking for adventure in his back seat, I plowed in training. I had a goal to achieve something in sports.

Now, he also goes on in this interview to say that alexander's a better athlete than him he says he's a better natural fighter and a better athlete than him basically says he's got all the tools that i bet more than me and if he did what i did he'd be better than me he put my brain in his head where he's a better yeah he's better athletically than i am and he's a fucking huge guy now alexander they ask him about it and he's like i've never been in prison he says in this thing never spent time in prison don't know what you're talking about no no i just took time off for those three years and there's no record of me doing anything in public ever for three and a half years you know

people do that people just when they're 18 they just drop out of society a lot of times it's you know and then it's like a mormon mission except i did it for three and a half years and i didn't knock on any doors i just hid in an apartment with another guy and had uh pride bukkake fest i don't know what happened so i became a sherpa and guided people up whatever that mountain just carried them on my back oh i thought you're thinking i'm trying to think of like a russian mountain like i i don't know man so siberian range. I have no idea how to help you. And then it's just Everest.

I was thinking of the most famous one. It's just Everest. You know, the biggest one. You know, that one that people climb. So, yeah. Now, people actually start to say, commentators will start to say, well, we think Alexander's probably telling the truth. Now, first of all, why the fuck would Fedor make that up?

Right. Just in an interview, just, oh, did your brother go to prison? Yeah, yeah, he did three and a half years. I don't want to say, well, we think Alexander's probably telling the truth. Now, first of all, why the fuck would Fedor make that up? Right. Just in an interview, just, oh, did your brother go to prison? Yeah, he did three and a half years. I don't want to say for what I don't want to stir up his shit, but yeah, he did three and a half years. No, no reason that that would be false. That's the truth. But people say later on, well, then how do you get into Japan in 2003 to fight?

He wouldn't have been able to get into Japan in 2003 to fight. That's no question. I don't know. Unless Putin likes you or unless the Russian government wants to expunge your record because you're a good representation of their country to go fight right and they like that shit that's a possibility and you know it's russia it's very crooked i'm thinking that's probably what happened here yeah uh and also they talk about his tattoos are a lot of them are kind of ones that you might acquire in prison, possibly. Okay.

Or that sort of lifestyle there. So, yes, it's interesting here. So, April 3rd, 2008, he's fighting here again. This is right after this whole thing comes out. He fights Silvio Santos, who's a five and three fighter, and he beats him in the first round. Alexander knocks him out. Thirteen and three fighter and he beats him in first round alexander knocks him out 13 and three now july 2008 uh alexander is signed to make his united states debut at uh at affliction

band is the name of the thing another year uh 2008 july um this is july 19th this is supposed to happen but at the weigh-ins for the event it is announced that alexander is unable to happen. But at the weigh-ins for the event, it is announced that Alexander is unable to meet the licensing standards of the California State Athletic Commission, and he's replaced by Gary Goodridge. Now, what could that be? Well, there's rumors about what that is, and he immediately denies these rumors.

The rumors are that he had a positive test for hepatitis B. Oh, gross. That's the rumors. That's so good. So that's not great, probably, with a lot of blood being shed. That should be sprayed left. Probably not good.

Right. They said that he says, though, that that's not true and that he's unable to compete because he arrived late for the doctor examination two days after his scheduled date for the medicals with the Athletic Commission due to visa issues. So I was trying to get in the country the whole time, and I missed my appointment. That's what it is. I could see how that could be misconstrued for hepatitis fucking B. They just go hepatitis and made up a letter. They were like, A, B, or C. I don't know.

I rolled the, B. Whatever. Fucking B. Now, the problem is California State Athletic Commission, due to privacy laws, isn't allowed to. You can't disclose that. They can't say exactly what it was. So he's the only one who knows and the board who isn't allowed to say anything about it. So, yeah, they're not allowed to comment why he was denied a license.

But a member of the Athletic Commission commented on a radio show that Emelianenko was not and would not be cleared in California. And this would stand for all of the athletic commission commented on a radio show that emilia nanko was not and would not be cleared in california and this would stand for all of the u.s so that doesn't sound like he missed an appointment no it's like we're sorry we gave him one chance and now we don't like tardiness right let's just put it that way he won't be licensed anywhere in the country we don't stand for tardiness listen we have a zero tolerance's it. We have less tolerance for tardiness than hepatitis B. Than hepatitis B. C, political a little bit. Well, I'm a conversation.

No, sorry. B, more like be gone. Be gone. So, yeah. So, he's not allowed to appear at that thing here. And he was still having his licensing problems as it went on. Right. Couldn't ever get licensed so november 21st 2008 he fights sang su lee and he was 18 and 13

career fighter and he's only like 195 pounds this guy sang yeah sang he's a smaller dude to fight in the heavyweights that's rough uh this is a first round tko for alexander he just beats this dude back to wherever the hell he came from that wasn't Russia, I'm sure. Sure is Japan. Sing Soo Lee? I'm not sure. Sang? Sang Soo Lee.

My friend was Sang In Kim, and he was from Japan. From Japan, but was he Korean? No, Japanese. Okay, but those are... Isn't that a Japanese name? No. I don't know. His parents...

They might be. His family also had a Japanese restaurant, and they seem to be quite Japanese. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're bullshitting, and Americans like me are just dumb. And we'll just believe anything they say. We all look the same, huh? Eat some of our fucking Japanese food. Take that, asshole.

The buffet is $8.99. Come on in. So that's 14 and 3 for Alexander. March 29, 2009. 899. Come on in. So that's 14-3 for Alexander. March 29, 2009, he fights Ibrahim Magomedov.

Yeah. It's a 22-8 career fighter. This is a 51-second long fight. Alexander wins by TKO. So he really will just pummel you. He's 15-3 now. Taylor Swift is soaring high.

And since 2003, he's been taking courses at the Belgrade State University and graduates in 2009 with a degree, the bachelor's degree. Right. In economics, I believe. That's impressive. It is.

I'm not sure when he was doing this in between. Who did the course for him? I'm not sure. But he gets a piece of paper Who did the course for him? I'm not sure. But he gets a piece of paper that says he went to college. So good for you. Hey, you know what? Salute. On this show, fuck it.

Salute. That might be great. That's terrific. Yeah, that's pretty impressive. That's definitely something. So October 3rd, 2009, he makes his professional boxing debut against Kaiser Pliev, an army boxing champion from, I have no idea where this is, Ingushetia. I didn't have to say that. That's a country?

That's, I believe, a place in Russia. I-N-G-U-S-H-E-T-I-A. I don't know where that is. I've got to study it. Sounds like an Italian meal. It is. I'll have the Ingushetia. No, no, please. I don't know. Hold the capers, please. I don't know where that is. I got to study it. Sounds like an Italian meal. It is. I'll have the inguscetti. No, no, please.

I don't know. Hold the capers, please. I don't like capers. But if you could... No, you could put the... Yeah, no. Artichoke hearts are fine. Just no capers.

I'm fine with that. Yeah. This is... He was also making his professional debut. Yeah. This guy. And this fight ends in a draw. And Alexander goes, well, I'm not going to do that again.

No. So he goes back to that. Now, here, 2010, I'm not going to do that again. No. So he goes back to that. Now, here, 2010, March 2010, there's controversy here. There's a story shown on a Russian TV channel, and it presented Alexander as a Russian nationalist, Nazi, basically. Oh, no. That's a big deal there. And equated him with a guy named Roman Zentsov, who was a big Russian nationalist there. Emelianenko quickly denied this, stating that he was only engaged in development of MMA

and he has no political motivation, especially from extremist groups. Doesn't know what you're talking about. It's just how I survived in prison. Don't worry about my tattoos. That's basically... All these guys do that. They're like, ignore It's just how I survived in prison. Don't worry about my tattoos. That's basically... All these guys do that. They're like, ignore what I have written on me. Right.

Ignore what I asked a man to write on me in permanent ink. Ignore that part. Ignore how I'm branded. Yeah. That's not me. Words that come out of my mouth, I mean, they can change, but this is forever. But listen to the words, even though I made this happen. So, yeah.

So, the whole reason that Brad Pitt put swastikas on heads in Inglourious Basterds. Yeah, yeah. So that they can't change. Yeah, that's the problem. You're always a Nazi. That's it. So, April 23, 2010, he fights Eddie Bengtsson. Wow.

Bengtsson. Bengtsson. B-E-N-G-T-S-S-O-N. You don't get to do that. Bengtsson. That goes against allN-G-T-S-S-O-N. You don't get to do that. Bengtsson. That goes against all language rules. That's fucking bad. Eddie.

Two S's after a T? Two S's. After a T. O-N. Nope. Nope. It should be Bengtsson. Right.

With one S in the whole name. Or B-A-N-G-S-T-S-O-N. That's what I'm saying. Stun. Bengtsson. I'm looking for that. Not the whole name. Or B-A-N-G-S-T-S-O-N. That's what I'm saying. Stun. Bankston. I'm looking for that. Not Bankston. Bankston.

That's what this is because there's two. No. He's a six and four career fighter, so his name is more impressive than his fighting. Far too many consonants together. No good. TKO at 40 seconds here for Alexander, making him 16 and three. He beat him for that last name. He did. You deserve this, sir. Yeah deserve this sir yeah now okay now here's where it's at this point in 2010 that uh via teslav dotzik as you might

know from an earlier crime and sports episode somewhere in the 60s i don't remember but one of our craziest episodes another russian mma fighter who literally is in mental institutions on and off and is an absolute maniac admitted nazi but handwriting of an absolute angel his handwriting looked like calligraphy remember that letter i showed it was beautifully unbelievable beautiful well that letter i don't know if we remember this that letter was about alexander emilianenko really that was the whole thing it was him calling him out uh now let's see what he says he wrote him a love letter uh he wrote to the press letters about letters yeah about horrible things about him yes he says quote this is dotzik calling out emilianenko quote i have a few things to say to some comrades roosters now we explain

the whole rooster in russian uh russian uh slang jargon doesn't call it is uh is basically a prison bitch that is what you call it's a russian prison bitch is a rooster is what they say i love how the article really tries to like not say that. They say, quote, in this case rooster equals homosexual in general, usually a man who is forced to have sex with other men in prison. Just say prison bitch. We get it. We know what that means. It's not insulting.

It's an easier form of language that we all get. So he says roosters like Sasha Emelianenko. So he calls him Sasha. Oh, boy. Which is the only, that's the other 16% of Russian women are named Sasha. And some of the men, too.

A lot of Sashas there, too. So he says, quote, Dotsik now, quote, first of all, didn't you mix something up? Do you see a sportsman in me? I'm not such. You wanted to show me what pain means so you rooster tell me your address and we will meet so now this is when he's calling out uh he's calling him a rooster and telling him that he would like to uh uh he would like him a prison bitch on his own yes now i must tell you before this next sentence that Finkelstein runs one of the MMA companies over there that Alexander fights for.

And Finkelstein is a Jewish person. Right. Okay. So if you couldn't tell by Finkelstein. If there's any stereotypes going on in here. He's Irish German. He says, okay, quote, and i don't see you being a sportsman either in the near future i see you as a jewish guy's hoe who like who licks finkelstein's dick

i remember that this is after he called jesus several jewish slurs and called him a member of the musad later on in the in the letter same letter same fucking letter it's a really it's really a fucking top-notch document it really is a piece of literature it's a piece of literature he's craziness it is it is a man a crazy man's manifesto that has nothing to do with politics or anything else but it does because he talks about his right he says that he's not a nazi he's just a racist right that's what he says i'm not a nazi how dare you call me a nazi i'm just a racist that's that was his defense okay it's a real dickens he's a you know how it goes so there's more here of what he says after a Jewish guy's hoe who licks Finkelstein's dick.

Okay. He who licks Finkelstein's dick is the name of this episode. And your tattoos, I see you have removed them. They were fake ones, huh? Because I guess he had a couple of tats removed from prison. He had said some prison shit. You want to get some shit taken off sometimes. Yeah.

So your near future is being a sex slave in any prison. I guess he's saying because he got his tats removed. Now he would be considered. So now those guys are going to fuck him too. Good luck. Yeah. Jesus. Are you kidding? I hope there's a hundred of you. I hope there's a hundred. Let's go. Hey, everybody, let's

go fuck the Grim Reaper. Those are words that have never been said. Come on, everybody. We're going to go fuck the Grim Reaper. Those are words that have never been said. Come on, everybody. We're going to go fuck the Grim Reaper. And the guy that says that, I'm more terrified of than the Grim Reaper. That's what I'm saying. Everyone goes, what?

His name's the Grim. We will follow that man anywhere. He's enormous, that guy. Now we're gonna fuck him. Who cares? I'm with you, buddy. He's a rooster. Don't worry about it.

I heard a guy talking about it. He said he's no problem. He's just a rooster. He already licked Finkelstein's dick. I think he'll do it. He might be up for it. Who knows? Hey, everybody.

That's got to be the greatest quote in the history of podcasting. Hey, everybody. We're going to fuck the Grim Reaper. Come on, everybody. Come on. Ah, Jesus Christ. that's amazing a bunch of people grabbing their surfboard oh that hurts so bad come on everybody just the thought in my head of that hurts worse than a prison gangbang. Oh, man. He's like waving.

Come on, everybody. He's down like right near the surf. And everyone else hasn't even come on the stand yet. You guys, the waves are 10 feet. Come on. Come on, everybody. The water's warm. Come on.

Come on, everybody. We're going to fuck the Grim Reaper. Come everybody. We're going to fuck the Grim Reaper. Let's call it. Come on. We're going to fuck the Grim Reaper. It's fine. Just paddle out. It's cool.

Holy shit. That hurts so bad. Oh, my God. It hurts. Oh, man. I'm in pain now, too. Jesus. How are we going to continue this?

Incredible. Good night, everybody. See you next week never mind when we heal up from this sorry that's yeah never mind the actual crimes that we know he committed incredible oh my god so he's going to be a sex slave and he's a rooster and uh quote and this is dot sick again in case we forgot and how people end up there uh you know better your own homosexuals slash black friends. What? Which apparently referring, I guess, the way he means it in the language.

This is translated, obviously. He means non-Russian people. Got it. This is what he means. It's like a black sheep type of thing. Apparently not black in racial terms. Yeah. With show your spot in the prison i don't know

what the fuck that means uh if you are such a superman so cool and a super fighter and want me to teach you something just leave your address and you don't have to catch me i will find you myself well yeah if i give you my address you'll find me easily grace i would say once dot sick says you've licked finkelstein's dick and called you that's grace it doesn't get any better than that you can only go downhill from here jimmy that's it you have risen through the rank fador's response back is that uh dot sick is an unstable person and shouldn't be kept in the same place with other people that's what he says he basically said he should be put away because he's crazy.

In a pen forever by himself. That's what he did. He just he took the high road. Yeah. I will say here. Maybe the first time. I will not put my address in there. Matter of fact, no.

No. Give you a P.O. Box. Just show up. Right. Fight in the mailman. Write a gas station down the street. Yeah.

Because it beats the shit out of you. Return address there. You look. You look smaller. Not on TV. Just beating the guy up. No, please. You look smaller on TV. Yeah.

Why is there an H on the beginning? What's going on here? So, May 22, 2010, he fights Mijadrag Pele Petkovic. Okay, he's a 32 and 24 fighter here. Wins by TKO in round one. Alexander does, bringing him to 17 and three. Also, he wins the 2010 Sport Accord World Combat Games Combat Sambo Silver Medal. Good God.

That's a lot of stuff there. Silver medal for all that. That's not impressive. No. Also, this year, he makes some appearances on tv shows he's becoming like a personality now which is strange i kind of like that and in asia too because he fights in japan and he fought in japan he's on a korean comedy show uh which is interesting and he's on a russian show called big races where he basically fights a bull and loses two teeth

because bulls are like three tons and not that big, but they're huge and they'll fuck you up. He's fallen down to like reality shows? He's like bullfighting. Yeah. I guess it's like Dancing with the Stars over there, sort of, to do this show. Everyone Carl Lewis race to Cheetah? Yeah, yeah.

That's what this feels like. It's like the Battle of the Network Superstars or some shit like 70s. Those bad at the Sklar brothers used to do the commentary over on the SBN classic. Yeah, yeah. It was funny, actually. Well, I'm sure that's funny. But yeah, not the show. This is dumb. Oh, it's terrible.

Oh, it's so embarrassing. I want to watch fucking Eric Estrada and Chachi race each other. Right. No, I don't want to watch Eric Estrada race Chachi ever. And then Henry Winkler is going to fucking come into the race on the relay. I don't want to watch Eric Estrada race Jachi, ever. And then Henry Winkler's going to fucking come in and race on the relay. I don't think so.

It's so silly. So, yeah, and then some Korean comedy show. I don't know. He also was in a Russian TV series called Yevgeny Sidikin, which means Olympic Village. I guess it's supposed to be like a bunch

of russian athletes and he along with a couple other mma fighters appeared on the show as good guys they were like you know part of the part of the olympic village crew apparently yeah now uh and during uh during 2010 here he was in talks with a polish promotion for a match-up with a some like strong man some weird like weightlifting strong man guy it was gonna be some exhibition weird horrible spectacle fight i guess it never happened uh apparently he's gotta have this fucking hepatitis then if he's well under this shit the thing is the promoter the reason why it never happened said that uh yeah it's not gonna happen this fight and this is the owner of, the reason why it never happened, said that, yeah, it's not going to happen this fight. And this is the owner of this, the co-owner, Magich, Magich, kind of Magich, M-A-C-I-E-J, Masich Kowalski.

Which is pretty common. He's Polish. Kowalski. So Kowalski here, he stated that Emelianenko would probably not ever fight in this promotion because he believes that Emelianenko has hepatitis C now. So now it's gone from B to C. He's going to have hepatitis Q pretty soon, and we're never going to be able to have him. This ain't good.

So it's not good. Emelianenko denied this and demands an apology from KSW, which is the promotion. Hey, you can't say I got hepatitis, especially if your business is to go in and bleed on people. You can't just be willy-nilly throwing hepatitis around everywhere. So Emilianenko here, during this previous opponent of Emilianenko, claimed that he believed that Emilianenko had hepatitis B and not C. So they're like, is this just a claim of piggybacking off the other guy's claim?

Or is this a new claim of hepatitis C now? And if he does have hepatitis B and they're claiming he has hepatitis C, does he have a lawsuit for slander? I mean, that's what I mean. That'd be really ticky-tack. I do not have that. I don't have it. I have the other one, which are different. That's illegal.

You assholes. So August of 2010, a Polish MMA promotion, Strafa Walk, decides to make public. They don't have the same policies as the California State Athletic Commission. Medical tests reportedly taken by Emilian Ankle. This is the other thing. We don't know if these are real. The tests claim to show that he had none of the varieties of hepatitis and was fit to fight for their promotion. There was never independent verification of the test results or recognition of the results by independent licensing agencies. So basically, they had a press conference, pulled out a piece of paper that they made on their printer or somewhere or might be real and said zebra blood and said he doesn't have shit.

We tested him. So he's's gonna fight now and they all went well that's not good enough no we have paper though i wrote it down see i said he uh alexander does not have hepatitis c there you go there you go done he's good i want his blood drawn and a camera focused on that file until the test is done i would like to know what the california state athletic commission found because their thing's probably correct right they take that shit seriously so december 18 2010 he fights peter the chief graham i don't know he's 11 and 10 and uh this fight this is crazy alexander loses this fight to the chief an 11 and 10 fighter it's

a tko in round two from leg kicks oh this guy just kicked the fuck out of his legs he pulled like an antonio enoki muhammad ali thing back in the like he kicked his legs until he couldn't stand anymore and it's an interesting strategy i've seen one of those before it's actually fun to watch it's to watch a guy try to guard that that leg that you just want to see him jump on that dude's head and fucking just explode his skull with his fists when someone's doing that. You fucking pussy stand up. Stand up!

I watched that when it was like, when the UFC had different style fights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was a giant fucking dude versus this little tiny fuck. Yeah, I remember they do that. And I felt terrible for that little guy to be matched up against him.

That was the Inoki Muhammad Ali thing. Oh, was that it? Yeah, he was, that was his strategy. Running around against him. That was the Inoki Muhammad Ali thing. Oh, was that it? Yeah. Okay, all right. That was the strategy. Running around with the polar bear. He was kicking Ali in the legs. He would lay on his back and kick Ali in the legs so you couldn't get punched by him.

Right, right. Because that's dangerous. And then you win. Or it's a draw. And watching that leg swell from those... Yeah. It's incredible. I don't get it.

Kick him back. That's both good point just both be kicking he'll get up eventually because it looks silly yeah eventually the promoter will stand up and go this looks like fourth grade girls stand the fuck up and fight each other people are at home they paid for that they're just kicking oh no you stop no you stop dick oh he hit me in the knee oh god what are you doing so emilio nanco during an interview here says how much he likes hunting, loves hunting, and told the interviewer that he killed a bear by piercing its throat with a bear spear

and then stabbing it in the heart with a knife, the traditional way of Russian bear hunting. Is that how it goes? Apparently. Now, that's like back in the day. That's how you showed if you were a man. Right. You went and killed a bear with very minimal weaponry. Like 300.

Like 300, yeah. Get a wolf. With hand tools. The same shit you would pick up in a neighborhood brawl at a construction site. Same shit. Jesus Christ. Maybe that's why he was so good in that brawl. Maybe.

Stabbing bears. November 12, 2011, he fights Magomed Melikov, a 7-3 career fighter. His last fight, by the way, of his career, Malikov, was against Brett Rogers. Oh, no kidding. Who is one of our guys. Yeah. The Grim. Yeah.

Brett Rogers there. That was his last fight. This fight is a 23-second long fight, and it is a loss for Milianenko. He gets knocked out with punches in 23 seconds by this guy. How about that? Which is weird. Anybody gets knocked out any time. If you're throwing punches, you never know.

It's true, man. You get caught, you don't see it coming, get knocked out. That's what happens. That's why boxing's so great. You never know. It could happen. Anybody can do anything, any given fight.

Any given fight. You're literally, anybody's got a puncher's chance. It's literally a luckyer's chance it's literally a lucky shot you never know so december 21st 2011 he fights tolagen wow akil akil bekov akil bekov yeah a-k-y-l-b-e-k-o-v oh boy akil bekov no i'm gonna say akil bekov what fighting place is allowing him to fight he's fighting all around what one's clearing russia's they don't care yeah are you kidding in russia this dude they just he didn't go to prison what are you talking about i mean they

there's a trainer of his and people that worked in the in the federation there not the russian federation but the the mma that were accusing him of different things and uh apparently as we'll talk about here uh one of the things that happened was he's on a flight jesus christ he's on a flight en route to uh siberia uh barnall yeah and he was to conduct a seminar and instead of doing that he got angry on the flight and demanded liquor when it wasn't time to drink and smoked on the flight when there was no smoking and apparently started beating up passengers you can't do that you can't do that on flights at all and when you do do that you are arrested yeah uh which is what he is arrested he's arrested for disturbance on an aircraft in january of 2013 and he this leads to him being fired by m1 global

the you know the woody woody uh the company he works for here and imprisoned for life i hope no he dismisses the story as quote an exaggeration of journalists is what he fake news yeah that's what he said i didn't do that fake news that's the exaggeration of journalists which is russia russian translation uh but but nobody everyone says no no it's very true you were arrested for it there's a whole plane full of people that saw your giant ass fighting people smoking and causing a fucking disturbance and he goes completely completely made up i don't know what you're talking about they're like no we were all there right you fucking asshole there are facts in the world. Right. And he ends up being fined by the police for hooliganism is what the charge is. Okay.

The official charge. That seems lenient. Hooliganism. And he denies that that happened either, even though it happened and he paid a fine. He's lucky he didn't get terrorism charges. That's what I mean. Well, it's Russia. That was just marginal behavior on an aircraft there.

So then it's said to be drunk. So he was drunk. So this was on the plane. Then he arrives. He gets arrested, makes bail, whatever, leaves. Arrives at the MMA school drunk. And basically to have a seminar and preside over a local Sambo tournament. And the video where he makes a speech shows him slurring his words. basically to have a seminar and preside over a local Sambo tournament.

And the video where he makes a speech shows him slurring his words over the microphone. He's clearly shit-faced. Unbelievable. And he's making a public address to a bunch of MMA students. Wow. Yeah. So about three months after he announces his retirement, he's like, Jesus, I'm embarrassing myself in classes. I'm fighting people on planes.

Right. I need something to do. Yeah. This is not. It isn't working. I'm a little too. I got too much going on inside me. So he ends up saying he's going to come back to fighting.

It's like, I'm back again in February. I need structure. I need a little bit of structure. So March of 2013, he gets arrested under the accusation of rape. And we'll talk about this. Oh, this is bad. Yeah. According to the accusation, he held two girls hostage.

Not hostage, captive, I guess. Hostage would mean that he's saying he'll give them back for something. Captive in his apartment in Moscow, against their will, obviously, and allegedly raped one of them, which is interesting and terrible. He was arrested and questioned, and apparently it came out that the girl who reported the rape is a prostitute. Oh, no. And so they dismissed the charges.

Oh, Jesus, Russia. He said, well, you know, you can't trust it. I literally can't rape a prostitute oh no and so they dismissed the charges oh jesus russia he said well you know you can't you can't trust it literally can't rape no they said too he said it was she's a dirty he said she's just a dirty street person who tried to extract extra money from me okay so they the police said that uh yeah they figured that she was uh uh when she found out who he was she wanted to get extra money out of him and uh so she just claimed rape so she that's that's his accusation and they go yeah good enough okay they don't they don't end up having any charges here uh yeah it's pretty fucking insane so uh it's very much just brushed under like well

i mean they're prostitutes literally it was like then it was found out they were prostitutes and they let him go uh it was like you can't hold anyone hostage for any amount of time no i mean a plumber charges by the hour yes you can't hold him in your home no he's you can't go and you can't rape him you can't you definitely can't rape him but you can't say you know the plumber came he's charges by the hour and i just kept him for a day against his will so what he's he charges by the hour He goes to people's houses for money. Why not? He can be kidnapped.

No. The difference is, like, a plumber doesn't go places and suck dicks. You know what I mean? No, not at all. Be a fucking saint to her. You should be nicer to someone. She blew you for Christ's sake.

Get your own house. That's pretty good stuff. That's amazing. What a lady. What a lady. What a kind young lady. So, now... That should be a business car that really should shouldn't call them prostitutes we should call them kind young ladies young ladies

friendly young ladies hi my name is tabitha i'm a kind young lady i'm a friendly young woman how are you today so also during this time he spends time at a greek monastery oh and he says a russian high priest is who convinced him to come back to MMA. Son, you should pummel people's brains in and make them bleed from thy ears. Russian high priest

Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin, yeah. I like watching you fight. I guess I'll come back. And so he goes to a Greek monastery and he also clears his chest of some things.

Yeah. He said that fight with Jeff Monsoon there, he said that was a time that he was out of shape and suffering from an injury. And, yeah, it's bullshit. He said he only agreed to do the damn fight to, quote, save the Jewish business. That's Finkelstein. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who's Dickie Sucks. Sucks to Finkelstein. Yeah. Who is Jewish, as we found out earlier. Yeah. who is Jewish, as we found out earlier. Yeah, and he said that the fallout from showing up drunk at the MMA school, I guess, left a bad feeling with Finkelstein, and this whole thing with the rape charges and the fighting on an airplane leads to him being dismissed from M1,

and now he is saying that he only did that to save the Jewish business, and they made him fight. Yeah, he says, quote, The decision came spontaneously. It was necessary to go. I don't have anyone to explain myself to. One afternoon, a text message from my sister asking, Are you deciding to stay there? I thought about it. Maybe.

In the end, I replied, Just don't tell my mother. I made no more responses to anyone. Only went to work. When I returned, the phone was bursting with missed calls. And he's talking about a time... He's talking about getting fired. And he didn't know he got fired. He was like the last one to find out he got fired.

He says that there's pictures, too, of him at a Greek monastery, chopping wood and baking bread. Hell yeah. And hauling rocks like Rocky in Rocky IV, training for a Drago fight. Yeah. So he said it was an attempt to, quote, obtain grace.

Yeah. You already got it. You're already fallen from it, sir. Mission accomplished, sir. Grace was a little while ago, about 20 minutes ago, when Doxic... Remember when you got your letter? That's grace, mister.

He said he wants to find some understanding of himself and his life. He would rise at five and work and pray at intervals dictated by the monks before returning to sleep. He said he has a reminder of the whole thing on his chest. It's a new tattoo that said, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of

God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Except in Russian, obviously. That's his new... Could have just got sinner. It's just he... Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Except in Russian, obviously. That's his new... Could have just got sinner. It's just he... Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. It's really formal. I think that's a formal greeting.

I mean, you could just say that every day. I'm not a religious person, obviously. But I hear people all the time say they have a personal relationship with Jesus. Now, if your relationship is personal, why do you need to address him so formally lord jesus christ son of god that's too much why are you reading his business card jay dog what's happening yo we got a personal relationship come on we're gonna go rape the jim reed the grim reaper you coming jay the jim reaper jc you coming no we're gonna fuck his mouth and then whatever comes after i don't know we'll figure it out what is the fucking whole title lord jesus christ son of god have mercy on me a sinner right so yeah i'm a sinner that's it you could have wrapped it up with one word one sinner uh he

claims he experienced growth of a spiritual kind while he was there and has now found religion in the same way his brother has and he says about his alcohol problems he's uh he says quote the temptations are still there they are close and continue to overcome but i suffer and endure so he's done drinking it's good now this is his i'm good now i went to a fucking monastery to get good now that's really most of our guys just say they're good now none of them really go like chop of wood and bake bread at a fucking monastery so you know he's trying his comeback fight may 25th 2013 is verse bob sap remember bob sap no big black dude i thought you were saying sag it no no big big american dude big big baddest one of the baddest looking dudes going big i got nothing i think he wrestled for a little bit, too. Yeah.

6'5", 330. Good Christ. Big scary looking guy, but he's 12 and 20 in his MMA career. Oh, that's terrible. So not very good. But you can tell he's entertaining, otherwise he wouldn't be 12. Nobody would keep him around for that long. Wouldn't have 32 fights for nothing. Yeah, you see boxers that we've done who are like 14 and 211 for their career, but you

never see MMA fighters like that because they just get shoveled off to the side here. He wins by TKO with punches at a minute and 18 seconds, so not bad. That brings him to 22 and 6. Now, 4th of July, 2013, he fights Jose Rodrigo the Dragon Gilkey. Yeah.

Ricky the Dragon Gilkey over Yeah. Ricky the Dragon Gilkey over here. Jose the Dragon. Rodrigo the Dragon Steamboat here. How do you get so many Spanish names and then throw on the whitest, most horse shit New Orleans shit? Yeah. G-U-E-L-K-E. Oh, that's awful. Gilkey.

It's a terrible name, but Jose Rodrigo, which sounds pretty good. Sounds cool. Great first two, and then a vomit for a last name. You sound like a flamenco dancer. You're an expert. Jose Rodrigo. They call me the dragon. Okay.

The dragon. He leaves that part out. He's a 22 and 19 fighter, the dragon here. TKO round one, this is. 23 and six now for for uh alexander october 2013 he's out in a bar yeah he's out in a bar in moscow and uh he's in the company of two ladies i assume probably probably of the evening some friendly young ladies some nice friendly young ladies here uh they were two you know these with them and a group apparently this is what it said a group of intoxicated men

started to get loud and rowdy nearby so of course you know yeah he's uh he says a table of these drunk men proceeded to direct some inappropriate remarks at the two nice young ladies that he was with now in russia what is inappropriate because appropriate's pretty fucked up there so i don't know what inappropriate was it must have been like just dropping c-bombs and telling her to take her pussy out or something like it must have been fucking rough uh so he decided he will defend the honor of these two ladies as he does obviously. The Grim Reaper shall defend your honor. He approached the table to obviously to ask

politely if they would keep the rhetoric to a minimum because yeah he's going to come in. I feel like it's a real it's a real like like Pac-Man Jones Arugula situation where he's like gentlemen I was there I had a nice I had a companion with me a nice young lady.

Two of them. Very nice. Well, no, she brought her friend with her because her friend, the thing, she was going to go home and she hadn't eaten any dinner. And I said, you know what? I found a great place. You come along with us. There's great arugula.

It's amazing. The salads just come with. So she said, sure. What the heck, right? So we're all sitting there. What the G heck? Now these, these. I'm going to. Hoodlums. I don't usually use language like this, but they were hoodlums. They were just hoodlums.

I don't know what else to call these gentlemen, but they were there. I didn't see them even eating. They were. I saw no arugula anywhere, not a sandwich, nothing. They were drinking and causing a general ruckus of a sort that couldn't be ignored. and causing a general ruckus of a sort that couldn't be ignored. Now, obviously, I politely went to management and asked them to resolve the situation, because, I mean, jeez, these are nice young ladies here. They don't need this kind of inappropriate language.

And nothing was done, so I said, I'm going to go over, and I said, excuse me, gentlemen. And from there, as this happened, several chairs end up being thrown. Holy shit! He said, gosh darn it, they were impolite to me so i picked up a chair darn it and i cracked it over his skull and boy if you wouldn't know that fixed the whole situation apparently they didn't know who they were fucking right they didn't know who this guy was they just saw a six foot four 255 pound dude who's out with two chicks and they're like let's let's try to get one of those. Let's fuck with that guy.

Let's cut one of those chicks out of the herd. Yeah, seems like he's probably up to something. I'm going to leave that cat alone. They decide, let's fuck with this huge guy. And he says, I'll bet I beat the shit out of all of you. We heard that we could all fuck the Grim Reaper. Yeah, is that a thing? We've come to fuck the Grim Reaper.

No? Apparently, this turned into a complete and total uh melee a melee with chairs being thrown and him beating the shit out of anybody with an arm's reach of him uh police ended up coming and they handcuff him uh uh and while he's detained he gave his account of the story and they tried to fuck the Grim Reaper. In the mouth. And they realized that it wasn't his fault. And they released him after being held for 20 minutes. And he was even offered to be escorted back to his hotel by the police because they apologized and said, We figured, you know, because you're an asshole and a psychopath and this fits in with your pattern of behavior.

It's you. Turns out out just a bunch of table of drunken assholes we had no idea they tried he beat the living shit out of a bunch of guys though in a bar so january 25th 2014 he fights dimitri the wicked machine sosnovsky wicked machine yeah uh 11 and 0 career record really never lost a fight and his last fight was on march 17 2018 oh so he's probably still going last fight's over a year ago i don't know and he's never lost a fight who that's so weird i don't know an injury possibly or training injury that maybe that last fight was just a little too close and he's like i'm not gonna lose 11 and 0 babe quit done done

over 10 wins i'm undefeated and uh well he alex he beats alexander uh obviously because he's like, I'm not going to lose one. Fuck it, 11-0, babe. I quit. Done. Done. Over 10 wins. I am undefeated. And, well, he beats Alexander, obviously, because he's 11-0 career. Beats Alexander by a first-round TKO. How about that? So, dude had some potential, apparently, here. 23-7 for Alexander. Now, 2014, still, he's arrested again. This time for kidnapping and sexual assault. God damn it!

Nah, these are bad ones. These are bad charges. He's charged with kidnapping and sexual assault by withholding a passport from a woman and forcing the use of, quote, narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances on a woman named Polina, same name as his daughter.

That's bananas. You can't rape someone with the same name as your daughter. Absolutely not. I am sorry. You can't fuck someone again. You couldn't fuck someone with the same name as your daughter. Never mind rape them. Right.

You couldn't do that. You would think you'd go, oh. Even if you were a horrible rapist, at that point you'd go, oh, I can't. Hey, girl, what's your name? Paulina. Gotta run. Have a good one. See you around.

Peace. Yeah. Paulina Stepanova, this girl is. She's 27 years old, this young lady. She is apparently a housekeeper, and it was a substitute housekeeper that came to his house to fill in for another housekeeper. Listen, I always rape her. Listen, the other housekeeper is a 300-pound, 60-year-old Polish woman with a giant mole

that comes out of her forehead with hair coming out of it. You're 27 and hot. Never thought about it. you're kind of fine holy shit uh so he uh stole her passport from her purse while she was cleaning oh that's fucked up he literally went and found her purse and stole it and then extorted her for sexual favors while forcing her to consume drugs that's the story here uh yeah stole it from her purse while she's cleaning jesus christ uh quote this is a quote uh uh from uh the this is from her lawyer paulina's lawyer according to paulina paulina she was removed for a long time in the apartment then emilia nenko offered to offered her to play cards with him, but she refused.

After that, he slapped her on the head. Apparently, they say that, quote, he forced her to smoke a cigarette with grass. Weed or some kind of dust, maybe. Maybe it was actual grass. Or actual grass. Russia. Just brown grass. It's gray somehow.

It's got salt in it. Somehow it gets you high. You get the grass gray and salty. And's gray somehow. It's got salt in it. Somehow it gets you high. How'd you get the grass gray and salty? And to drink alcohol. And all requests to let her go home and not to touch Emelianenko were refused. I'd like to not touch you there. No, no, no. You will.

I would like to go home. You will not. Yeah. However, Emelianenko did offer her to, quote, jump out of the window if she desired to leave that bad. Jesus. He said, you want to leave that bad? There's the fucking right and he's on like an upper floor so that was obviously that's the only way you're going to get out of here apparently she was eventually after a day allowed

to leave she went to the police to file uh to file a report but she said she continued to suffer harassment from alexander's friends according to her lawyer uh he says the lawyer says quote they've repeatedly threatened her these people said they know where she lives her family and a young son yeah they offered to pay so she changed her testimony uh that's how it is basically uh yeah so he pleaded uh not guilty to all the charges obviously here he's saying what are you talking about he says he did have, intimacy with the victim, but he said it was purely consensual. His lawyer says Emelianenko does not deny that intimacy was had,

but he claims it was consensual. So that's what we're doing. It's a he said, she said. Her lawyers say that they want to push for a five-year sentence, which they deem fair for his crimes. They also filed a motion to release uh her from further participation in the case so she doesn't have to testify passed with the statement she's already given uh they have a closed session hearing and uh

she says that uh uh she tells the press that she's he's damaged her life beyond repair she says quote i want emilie nenko punished like we said he pleads not guilty the victim's lawyer says quote first the court should extend emilio nenko's arrest which ends june 30th and we will defend our position that he is really dangerous to society yeah most likely alexander emilio nenko will get imprisonment for four to six years anyway we will insist on that so now he's sitting in fucking jail um wants out obviously looking for help he's like well i got my record expunged before i got some shit i need help yeah who can help me i don't know what to do my mma career oh i've been released

from this one everyone thinks i have hepatitis and they're over what am i supposed to do i couldn't box that didn't work and he's sitting in his cell and he doesn't know what to do and all of a sudden the cell door bursts open it bursts open and slams quickly behind him strangely enough and who is it it's vince mcmahon ceo and chairman of wwe and a whole bunch of shit and he rushes in he says i've got no time for music i've got no time no music.

And there's other shit here as well that we'll talk about, but it's really nothing. Four and a half years in jail, and he's not going to do that. No, and a grand and a grand. Who cares? On prison, he says, quote, We are two people in a cell because they ask him, What's prison life like? He says, There's the unusual.

There's the usual ordinary people and are constantly changing i don't know what that means at first it was uncomfortable but then you get used to it and you feel normal especially because i did this before for three and a half i mean i don't know what you're talking about prison's new to me this is my second go i mean the first time i've been here you know how it is uh we started doing athlete programs together i guess him and his roommate here. He says that he's struggling with this whole thing. He says he regularly questions how he would complete a four and a half year sentence. But he eventually settles into a training routine. He says, quote, the days are absolutely similar due to the limited closed space.

There is nothing for a person to occupy themselves. And so nothing happens. I read books like Faust when I was alone from idleness. closed space there is nothing for a person to occupy themselves and so nothing happens i read books like faust uh when i was alone from idleness i began to do squats and push-ups had time to do more than 300 squats but i didn't want to sweat because there was no place to bathe in the chamber at the prison you could go to the gym for an extra charge i went every day so apparently you could pay yeah to go there now he's in prison he goes in in May of 2015 for four and a half years. He's released in November of 2016.

Wow. So he does a year and a half of four years. That's fucking... For kidnapping and sexual assault. Unbelievable. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, Russia is a weird fucking place, man.

Are they that overcrowded? I mean, Dotsik's roaming around in there. Yeah, that's a good point. They need a whole thing just for him. We need a wing just for Dotsick. So he's released. And yeah, he's released and spends the majority of the following two years living in Chechnya at the behest of their president, Vladimir Putin.

No, Chechnya. He makes Putin look like a fucking button. He looks like Ward Cleaver compared to chechnya he makes putin look like a fucking button he looks like ward cleaver really compared to chechnya if you ever watch john oliver he makes fun of the chechnyan president constantly the guy's a fucking psychopath lunatic isn't that where he's a crazy he's a cartoon character this man i know he's not from chechnya sure chechnya is a whole separate thing i'm pretty sure he's not chechnyan i thought he was he's a hardcore russian russian and they think of the chechnyans as fucking dirt so really i don't think that's why they've been fighting chechnyan terrorism has been going on for 25 years the opera house don't look at me geopolitics is lost on

will rise after a knockout oh dignity of a true champ he's getting out early from a rape charge talking about dignity dignity of a true champion uh today he should be released on parole and i wish him to throw out his incredible power only in a sports ring praising the strength of character and the russian sport gross so he's good now horrible thing wow uh they talk about his tattoos now his tattoos at this point and just what he has i guess he's got uh he's got on the front of his shoulders uh and on his knees he has stars star thing stars i don't know what the fuck they are the classic symbol of uh basically it's a russian it's a criminal thing it's uh it's it means thieves in law it means it's an it means you're a part of a gang it's kind of like that but it's a particular

russian criminal thing okay that has that uh now uh this uh he's got stars on his knees it's supposed he's not supposed to cooperate it's a gang thing that's what the stars mean on his right army has a cathedral with five domes each dome symbolizes one year of imprisonment year and a half plus three and a half that's five equals five yeah dumb fuck yeah hey stupid yeah i've never been to prison right what you're talking about why you got a cathedral of five tops dummy so yeah uh yeah so that's stupid right there on his right shoulder he has a spider's web and uh lots of meanings there lots of all of them are bad right it's never like it means it means that i'm the best ballet dancer in all the midwest no never means that he has a uh on his left arm a tattoo that's a half cat's head uh half skull with the legend uh that means man

is a wolf to his fellow man oh yes that's so they eat your skull. And it's used, this says it's used to indicate a very vicious and dangerous prisoner. So it's telling everyone in prison that you're a badass. I'll eat your skull, basically. On his back, he has a grim reaper holding a baby. Underneath the German phrase

Gott miss uns, which means God is with us. I don't know. Maybe that's a nazi nazis are yeah so uh yeah this is this is amazing he says this isn't true he's not a nazi he makes any and he declares it he says dear friends he writes an open letter on march 20th the channel program russia whatever the fuck it was i was presented as a. I want to publicly declare that this report is slanderous. Nationalist and Nazi are interchangeable, by the way, in Russia. America, too.

Well, yeah, but there it's, they also say, here they use that as a term, never mind. Got it. So, I am a sportsman. I'm not and never will be a supporter of any political extremist movement. I do not endorse their views and do not want to be a tool of their propaganda. I support the development of mixed martial arts in Russia as an independent sport. I give young athletes the opportunity to realize their skills themselves by organizing my own team.

Athletes of different nationalities are presented in my team. By their sporting success, they have proved they are ready and able to perform together with me. I respect them and appreciate the fact that such promising athletes, like a bunch of Russian names, it's like eight different guys, defend the colors of my team. Yes, I am equated with Roman Zentsov,

famous MMA fighter and leader of a national separatist movement there, but I do not share his political extremist views. I do not support his movement and have never participated in any activities of his organization. I want to take part in sports, perform for my country,

and bring in medals and titles. I don't want to be involved in political games, do not want to be a bargaining chip in such a dispute. I have kids. I want them to grow up

in a democratic country devoid of national, religious, and other prejudices. You better move out of Russia. So, September 27, 2017, he's fighting again. He fights Geronimo dos santos in his big

return fight here he's a 41 and 21 journeyman this guy uh 36 second long fight alexander knocks him out by tko 36 seconds 36 seconds 24 and 7 he's back he's back uh so uh yeah they talked about his brother when they talk about him and And after the fight, they talked to him and he brings up his brother. And, uh, uh, this is fucking hilarious. He said that he has not talked to his brother Fedor in 10 years and he blamed sycophants that are surrounding his brother and leeching off of him and keeping him away from him. So he's blaming all these other people. So they asked Fedor about it and he has a response.

He said, quote, usually I don't comment on other people. So they asked Fedor about it, and he has a response. He said, quote, Usually I don't comment on other people's statements, but I cannot remain silent. This is my first and last answer to you. I consider it beneath my dignity to constantly react to your lies. And now the most important thing, why I decided to make this open appeal to you, you called my relative sycophants.

He's talking to, this is to Alexander. You called my relative sycophants. He's talking to, this is to Alexander. You called my relative sycophants. Sycophant, that's you, Judas. I feel sorry that people who were close to you and supported you in hard moments are now suffering. I have personally apologized for you to dozens of people. You can say what you like about me. I'll endure it, but do not dare insult those close to me. Besides, you don't even know them. All and all of those of all of those whom you know have helped and played an important role in your life and you are not worth their little finger. Therefore, you are not in my circle.

help me uh but i do not understand how you uh someone who was released from prison not long ago and is known for constant violations of his training regime can help me i can only think of one thing not to dishonor the family name of me and my parents oh fuck you want no part of you eat dicks this is some wow stop dishonoring my family you are not my brother motherfucker is what he said i mean jesus christ because Christ, because Alexander said I could help him. We should train together and I could help him. He goes, I don't know how you can help me, considering you just got out of prison and are a constant fuck-up. Apart from not fucking up anymore. Yeah, I mean, so this is, he is, he's bringing shame to his family.

Because his brother's a famous guy going, stop, every time he does something stupid, they go right to his brother. What do you think about your brother doing this? I mean, at some point, it's like, fuck, you feel bad for Fedor. I feel bad for all these people, Jimmy. I really do. The woman who he raped, all of them. I feel bad, but not nearly as bad. No fucking way.

As I feel for Alexander Emelianenko. He works for a company called Belmont, lives in Moscow, and works with computers and accessories. Oh, the poor fuck. And gets lots of sideways looks. Unbelievable. And people are like, let's go fuck the Reaper, and he has to run a lot. He's like, stop, I'm not the Grim Reaper. I'm too little

for this. Stop. So December 17, 2017, he fights Virgil Rezdog Zwicker. Rezdog. Rezdog, like he's from the Rez, I assume. Yeah. He wins by TKO in round one, Alexander does. Rezdog is a 17-9 fighter.

17 wins all on the Rez. Yeah. 25-7 for Alexander. March 4, 2018, he fights CZ Simon. I guess it's Simon. S-Z-Y-M-O-N. That's Simon. Yeah, that's Simon.

Simon Bajor, 18-8 fighter, first round TKO, 26-7. May 5th, 2018, Gabrielle Gonzaga. Oh, he's fighting checks now? Yeah, it's Gabrielle Gonzaga, 17-12. Second round TKO for Alexander. Knocked her out. He's knocked her out cold. Then had his way with her 27 and 7 july 9th 2018 he fights victor pesta yeah the 15 and 5 fighter and alexander wins by tko

in round two bringing him to 28 and 7 and august 18th 2018 he fights he fights Tony the Hulk Johnson. Yeah. Hulk. He's a 13 and 4 guy. He's got kind of a belly for the Hulk. I don't remember the Hulk having quite as loose of a belly, but he's a big stocky cat. The Hulk's gotten hungry in his old age. That's the thing.

He's a little hungry. The Hulk eats some chips at night while he watches TV. Couple ice cream cones. Couple ice cream. Yeah, those drumsticks are irresistible. They're so good. Oh, I'm so addicted. With the caramel inside them? Oh, those are oh those are good the plain ones too i i'm on i'm trying to gain weight here so i'm on like a weight and i have to i force myself i have to eat two drumsticks a day

really that's what that's the regimen i force myself i'm trying my best not to i have to i'm trying to push it to three some days to get the extra fat. I need it. Go get those strawberry shortcake ones. Oh, I love those. Those are ridiculous. Oh, my God. No, those are great, too. I've got a box of 18 of them. Snickers ice cream bars.

Dude, oh, yeah. It's silly. Coming out, James? I'm telling you. Oh, I'll eat them all. I go crazy with those things. So good. So this fight against the Hulk goes all three, and it's a draw.

Oh. It's a draw. Nobody wins. He can't beat the fat guy. Can't beat the Hulk. Okay., and it's a draw. Oh. It's a draw. Nobody wins. He can't beat the fat guy. Can't beat the Hulk. Okay. Sorry. He must have been very angry.

28-7 remains his record, and that's his last fight that he's fought. He got wet. Well, it's been a year. It's almost exactly a year, actually. A year this week since his last fight. No kidding. Yeah. He was expected to headline a Russianussian cage fighting championship uh event on

may 4th 2019 uh he was supposed to headline this he was all set to but yeah march 1st 2019 he is arrested uh for dui resisting arrest and insulting a representative of the authorities in performance of his official duties uh so being a dick it's resisting arrest and he called him a rooster uh so the incidents of this night this is amazing he locked himself inside his car drunk yeah uh while the police the police are there trying to tow his car it's parked illegally so he locks himself inside of it so apparently thinks they won't tow him so jesus christ they start to tow it away. While this makes him realize what's happening, while they start hooking it up, he tries to drive off. He, like, you know, goes off the tow truck, tries to drive off and plows into two other cars like Austin Powers.

Bang, bang, because he's parallel parked. Right. So he, like, guns it. Boom. And then goes back. Bang. Boom, bang, with a gold Mercedes. So there's great video footage of a gold Mercedes just smashing into cars back and forth. While it's tied up. No, no, he got off the thing.

Okay. Right when they started doing something, he was like, you're not doing that. Bang, boom, boom. Unbelievable. I'm going to get out of here. But he's shit-faced. Yeah. So he hits two other vehicles

with his gold mercedes here uh so yeah he he uh i guess he came back he was away from the car came back and saw the cops ready to tow his car so then he jumped in and tried to drive away that's what he did and uh yeah so he what an idiot so he's trying to drive away he slams into a bunch of cars here he's then arrested and there's footage of this arrest of course and you can hear uh he's trying to drive away he slams into a bunch of cars here he's then arrested and there's footage of this arrest of course and you can hear uh he's complaining in russian that the handcuffs are too tight and all this type of shit they're like yeah you're the grim reaper we're gonna cuff you up nice and tight yeah fucker uh also when he's or after he's arrested there's videos of him protesting his arrest and yelling and screaming uh he he says that he on these videos

i guess he admits that he got behind the wheel drunk but he says he didn't resist arrest and quote apologized for being rude to the police in court he's like i apologized in court for being rude what's the fucking difference what do you want from me what do you want from me jesus uh so yeah he's uh he is found guilty of disobedience to the lawful order of a police officer and sentenced to 10 days of administrative arrest. And then following that, right after this, it is announced, quote, the fight of Emilio Nanko scheduled for May 4th has been canceled. Of course it is.

And so he also loses his driver's license for a year and a half from that. That's no good. That's no good. That's no good. So March 15th, 2019. This is two weeks later. Not even. He's released there. And the contract between him and his company is canceled.

And they said that the president of the Federation said, quote, from today alexander emilio emilio nenko is a free agent there's no longer any legal relationship between the league and this fighter so done another mma fighter says this is fucking amazing this guy here uh uh wow uh his uh cart card karatanov he posts a video here it's fucking hilarious here talking about uh talking about alexander he says quote hello everybody today i was awoken by a bunch of phone calls from reporters i hear that alexander emilianenko again is in some kind of shit uh he says this time in a car crash or something of that sort this guy i have said it before many times and will say it again, is a danger to society. He will drink, rape, and kill, do whatever he pleases.

Wow, that escalated quickly. Viking. He kind of is. What's he been doing? Yeah. Hey, this is Viking behavior. He's a fucking pirate. He's a Russian pirate.

He's a Russian pirate. He will drink, rape, and kill. He is a land pirate. Yeah, he's a total, very landlocked pirate. It's from near a river. It's close. He's a river pirate. He's a river pirate.

Only one man can influence him, Ramzan Kadyrov, the fucking Chechnyan president. He's like best friends with this lunatic, apparently. It's horrifying. Mr. Kadyrov, I ask you to take him back to club i guess that's over there uh in chechnya keep him confined in the land of chechnya so he cannot screw up more serious things than he is currently he will listen to only you uh he says quote uh this guy i said even back then someone against me put together an interview this guy is like a danger to society he's a danger to society even now he will never

change it's impossible to change him a leopard never changes his spots he did jail time since then he's done more jail time now he's out this guy probably was just born that way you will never change him he can go off the radar for some time but sooner or later he will again fall off the wagon and that's it and crime and sports will be waiting for him every time did he say that uh on top of lady gaga's song yeah i think he did he's just born that way uh in response emilio nenko says quote well periodically it turns out i fool around it somehow happens spontaneously and i also know for sure that good girls like bad boys what that's what he said so he's saying yeah i fuck her he's trying to act what he said. So he's saying, yeah, I fuck around. He's trying

to act like he's cool. Meanwhile, he's like in his 30s and he did rape, you know, he was sentenced for sexual assault. You lose all cool points when you're sentenced for sexual assault. You're no longer a bad boy that good girls like. Now you're a rapist. That's it. You're not James Dean anymore. No, now you're just James Dean. He's just a bad

man. At least in that movie, never raped anyone. I don't believe. From what I've seen. The footage. the footage i don't know i mean it could have happened we don't know it's possible it's possible anything anything may 14 2019 he's arrested again oh boy it's falling apart yeah hard now uh he's arrested for charges related to public alcohol consumption yeah he is being detained he was spotted drinking alcohol in a children's playground in moscow it's sad yeah that's excuse me it's so sad dude it's sad and uh there's footage of him eventually sitting like against the wheel well of his car drinking drinking sitting on the ground drinking leaned against the wheel well of his car on the ground it's fucking sad uh he was taken

into police custody uh where they drew up charges against him obviously they said alexander emilianenko was detained detained on voiced vostochonaya street whoa for drinking alcohol in a public place and yeah there's a picture of him drinking while hiding behind his car as the police came he's sitting yeah it's so sad dude it's from above and he's just like he used to be the grim reaper you were the grim reaper july 2019 here they're talking about um bare knuckle fc which is a fight promotion is off their biggest event ever uh it was headlined by a grudge match between a couple of guys that i've never heard of. And it brought in 200,000 pay-per-view buys.

That's huge. That's fucking WWE level. That's enormous. FC, that's Fight Club, right? Yeah, they're not fighting championships. Oh, got it. Championship. Because that's Pride FC. They're all FC, fighting championships. They said they want to

sign him. It's a guy named David Feldman. He confirmed, yes, I'm sure he's Jewish as well. That guy's a scumbag. Well, him. It's a guy named David Feldman. He confirmed. Yes, I'm sure he's Jewish as well. That guy's a scumbag. Well, yeah. You know this guy? He runs a bare knuckle fighting championship league. Probably a scumbag.

I'm pretty sure. I would be positive. That's the same guy that's trying to set up the fight between our fucking scumbag that we just redid. Oh, Lenny Dykstra. Yes. That would not surprise me at all. I'm pretty sure that's the same guy. I think so. I will fucking Google that and that we just redid. Oh, Lenny Dykstra. Yes. That would not surprise me at all. I'm pretty sure that's the same guy. I think so. I will fucking Google that and make sure that it is.

Please keep going. He confirmed here that he is in talks with Alexander Emelianenko to get him in there, and Emelianenko says the same thing, but we don't know. That was like two weeks ago. So this might happen. Keep an eye out for him fighting bare knuckle. And I'm sure getting arrested for public drunkenness or something else. Can't get enough?

Yeah. Go to Russia and talk shit to the biggest guy you can. And he'll probably rape you or beat you up or some shit. I'm not sure. But that's about all for that. But he'll be back. Don't worry. We'll talk about him more.

And that, my friends, is Alexander Emelianenko. Incredible. And a crazy goddamn shit story that is. My God, he's a nutcase. Even his brother says he's a nutcase. Yeah. He's been abandoned by everyone because he can't stop doing crazy shit. It's a different promoter.

Okay, well, that's a shame. That's a shame. But it's a Feldman. Same name. Same name, just a different dick. A different dick. It's Corey Feldman's promoting the other one over here. It's a shame.

If you don't know when Crystal Pepsi was discontinued, what was in Al Capone's vault, or which famous meteorologist is Lenny Kravitz's second cousin, then you haven't spent enough time on Wikipedia. But that's okay. I am here for you. I'm Darcy Carden, and I'm inviting you to listen to my new podcast, WikiHole, from SmartLess Media. Discover the craziest rabbit holes on Wikipedia with me and my funny friends as we bring the cyber frontier directly to your tympanic membrane. And if you listen to my podcast, you'd learn that that's the sciency term for eardrum. We embark on a hyperlink roller coaster as we start out on a Wikipedia page and go from link to link to link to link, careening through trivia, oddities, and unexpected connections until we collectively shout, how the hell did we get here?
