The three times world and Europe champion of fighting sambo-wrestling (self-defense fighting) Alexander Emelyanenko defends the title of one of the strongest people of the world again and again. This time Emelyanenko met the famous Russian heavyweight sportsman Ibragim Magomedov. It takes Alexander only 50 seconds of the first round to prove his title.

The Fight has begun brightly and solemnly like all the fights of the leading sportsmen of the world. The favourite fighter of Rostov fans Ibragim Magomedov surprised spectators very much, entering the rinf to the accompaniment of a live orchestra.

And Alexander could not owe such musical entering. After the announcement of the sportsman, who had to occupy the red corner, Emelyanenko entered to the accompaniment of his own singing the song "Me, Alexander!"

The hall burst applauding in honour of the well-known fighter.

But the fight lasted much less, than colourful greetings of the fighters. On the thirtieth second of the first round Ibragim got a powerful blow to the head from Alexander, this caused the cut of the left side of the face of the heavyweight from Dagestan. The referee stopped the fight and some seconds later declared the victory of Emelyanenko over Magomedov with the technical knockout.

But Alexander's adventure in Rostov-on-Don did not finish. Probably, the victory of the superheavyweight from St.-Petersburg seemed too improbable to the referees and they forced Alexander to show gloves and to prove that there are no extraneous subjects like a knuckle-duster or beaten glass in his gloves. The given actions seemed very offensive for Alexander's fans, but the sportsman himself firmly went through such mistrust and showed his sport equipment with a light smile on the face with pleasure. When the referees were convinced that Alexander's gloves were all right, sincere apologies and congratulations on an excellent fighting were given to the winner.

Alexander's opponent, Ibragim Magomedov, congratulated the fighter on the deserved victory and wished a match-revenge: "Sport is sport, — Ibragim said. — I Congratulate on the victory, Alexander!"
