Aleksander Emelianenko released a statement Sunday saying that he is “engaged in the development of mixed martial arts in Russia” — and has no political motivations, especially for any extremist group.
The statement, via his blog and the above video, was to shoot down a story last weekend on Russian channel NTV, which presented him as a Russian nationalist.
“I am a sportsman,” Emelianenko said, chalking up the report as a ratings ploy. “I am not and will not be a supporter of any political extremist movements. I do not endorse their views and do not want to be a means to promote them.”
