KSW Federation has informed MMA Spot that KSW owners Maciej Kawulski and Martin Lewandowski recently met with Russian MMA fighter and Pride Fighting Championships veteran, Aleksander Emelianenko, at the Hyatt hotel, in Warsaw, Poland. Under discussion was Emelianenko’s participation in upcoming KSW events. According their report, the meeting was both substantive and amenable to the parties involved, as a verbal agreement was reached.
The special invitation extended to Emelianenko from the Polish MMA promotion was considered a success, with all participants content with the results. “We have a verbal agreement in place with Aleksander and we can reveal that Polish MMA fans will be soon able to see this formidable fighter in the KSW ring,” Lewandowski and Kawulski announced.
The first fight for Fedor Emelianenko’s younger brother has not been officially determined, though it is likely to be against polish strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski. Earlier this week, KSW revealed that an opponent for Pudzianowski would be confirmed at a press conference for the upcoming KSW 14 event. Among the candidates being considered are Eric "Butterbean" Esch and Aleksander Emelianenko, according to the organization.
The press conference is set for Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 12 p.m. CEST, and will be broadcast via the KSW Federation website (KSW - Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki - Oficjalny serwis Federacji KSW).
Pudzianowski (2-1), a relative newcomer to the fight game, is a former five-time World’s Strongest Man. He last fought at “Moosin: God of Martial Arts” on May 21, in Worcester, Mass. losing a lopsided bout where he verbally submitted to the strikes of former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia in the second round.
Esch (12-7-1), the face of the Moosin organization, was highly critical of Pudzianowski—giving some credence to the possibility of an upcoming match between the two.
“I know he allegedly broke his foot in the fight against Sylvia,” Butterbean commented, “but he didn’t show anything before he quit. Pudzianowski has no stand-up and as strong as he is, he punches like a girl. All he does is throw arm punches. He needs a lot of help. He’s the 5-time World’s Strongest Man but hits like a 130-pounder, not a strong man who weighs 270 pounds. He doesn’t have the skill level to get to the level he wants to fight.MMA Spot - KSW Owners Meet With Aleksander Emelianenko, Reach Verbal Agreement (http://www.mmaspot.net/index.php/redblack/comments/20100730_ksw_owners_meet_with_aleksander_emelianen ko_reach_verbal_agreement/)
