The fighter Fedor Emelianenko, considered one of the best MMA fighters of all time, did not like the children's fights that took place last Tuesday (04) during the World Fight Championships of Akhmat (WFCA), an event organized by Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Chechnya , in Russia. Through his social networks, the Russian criticized the episode and expressed concern about the physical integrity of the children.
“What happened at the tournament in Grozny is unacceptable and cannot be justified. There were very young children, as young as eight years old, punching each other in front of happy adults. Is it really so important that you organize a show at the cost of children's health? I am outraged by the fact that the head of Chechnya was there watching. Didn't the Chechen sports minister tell him about the fact that children under 12 cannot participate in MMA under any circumstances? ” wrote Fedor on his Instagram account.
It is important to highlight that MMA fights between children are not allowed in the vast majority of countries, however, the practice is not new at events held in Eastern Europe.
