Nobody has taken the Ultimate Fighting Championship by storm as quick as Conor McGregor did, quickly rising to become one of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen after just ten fights inside the octagon. Still, some diehard fans of the sport favor the likes of Fedor Emelianenko as one of the sport’s greatest of all time, and former manager Vadim Finekstein is one of those believers.
Vadim does not care whether it’s inside the octagon or in the living room of McGregor’s home; He is confident that Emelianenko is an all around better person than the Irish fighter. He told Gazeta.RU [via. Touch]:
“In Russia we have much more decent guys than Conor McGregor, about whom there is so much talk. Personally, Irish is not an example for me. McGregor is just a lowlife, who allows himself to send everybody to ride dicks, due to which, in fact, he has become popular. How can he be called a model for our young people? Another thing – Alexander Shlemenko, Fedor Emelianenko, Alexander Tokov, the same Habib Nurmagomedov. They are modest, decent family men and believers, not having any relation to the crime. They are really heroes. By the way, I do not think that McGregor will win if Habib is allowed to fight him. In general, the Irish has a snowball’s chance in hell.”
