Alexander Yemelyanenko is still on his back, trying to knit, press the opponent to himself. But it's probably better to just wait for the end of the round and try to start everything from the beginning in the second part of the fight. One of the most difficult rounds for Alexander after his return. If there was just a quick translation from Gonzaga, not serious, missed blows, not heavy, then it was very dangerous here. And right away, through the hand, Johnson tried to get his opponent. And again the shootout. Alexander is approaching, Tony Johnson is again going to fight. And he manages to translate it into style. Alexander grabbed the opponent by the neck. It will be very difficult from this situation to finish Alexander's suffocating reception through the hand. Considering all that weight power from Tony Johnson, all those physical abilities of an American. Well, here Johnson takes on the ground and pound, finishing off the half guard position. And all 128 kilograms of the American fighter are now hanging over Alexander. Johnson is trying to free his right leg in order to get to the side hold. Alexander Emelianenko is working with his hands at the same time. We don't see any blows yet, but Tony Johnson is ready to connect the left elbow. He literally scratched Alexander twice on the face. And here is a serious hit. Look how hard it is for Alexander. Alexander Emelianenko can't get rid of his opponent. A very serious elbow brings Tony Johnson to the finish line. Yes, he is not in a hurry. He understands that he can just lie on the opponent. And he will have minimal chances to get out of such pressure. Another elbow hit. Very hard short hits from Tony Johnson. Yes, he doesn't need amplitude at all now. Now he is pushing back. He connects his left elbow again. Alexander is in trouble. Look how many blows he took with his elbows. There is a cut, there are hematomas. We have two minutes left until the end of the second round. There are no preconditions that Alexander can get out of the American. He is very comfortable. And look. The referee raises the fighters to the stand. Yes, Alexander Emelianenko's face is just covered with blood. And now the cage will be invited by the doctor. Mikhail Tsarkov. A very serious cut from Alexander. And here are these incredibly dangerous elbow hits. At a short distance. With minimal amplitude. The fight can continue. Alexander Emelianenko is going forward.

What a blow! He flies in here! And he throws himself into the legs and throws Alexander to the floor. And still he goes around to the side. These moments, the gaps in the defense from the fight of Alexander, they were also present in previous fights. And still Alexander Emelianenko's mouthguard flew out. The referee now returns to his place. And, of course, he retains his position. We have a little more than a minute left until the end of the second round. And Tony Johnson takes the dominant position again. The American is looking for an amplitude to hit. There is one hit from the elbow. Alexander defends and hits the opponent, waiting for the fight to return to the stand. But Tony Johnson is quite active. Yes, and time after time he slips out of Alexander Emelianenko's embrace. And immediately hits another blow with his elbow. Time is running out, and it is now working on Tony Johnson. He wins this round. And let me assume that he lost the first one. And, of course, I think that the audience is also mostly for Alexander Emelianenko. After all, a famous Russian fighter. But let's pay tribute to Tony Johnson. How much he endured, how much he endured. He took a huge number of hits in the first round. And gradually managed to break the course of this fight. And no matter how this fight ends, we can say with confidence that Alexander Emelianenko really met the most serious opposition in this fight. There is a takedown. And immediately Alexander takes up the case. He pushes his opponent. Emelianenko understands that this is his chance to impose his high pace and striking firepower now. So far, Tony has endured. A series of blows. Tony Johnson is clinching. Gradually shifting to the left side. Another combination from Alexander. Johnson answers. But the American understands that he needs to look for happiness in the fight. Emelianenko is now literally clenching his opponent. Well, at the same time, Tony Johnson gnawed with a jab. Double. Alexander adds again to the right. Once again. And an uppercut. And a hook. Another hook. And a brutal right, left hook. Tony Johnson is shocked. Both threw out blows. Alexander hits to the right and spits out the mouthguard again. He returns it to its place. And look at the ability of the American to keep the blow. How much he took the opponent's attack on himself. From the second blow that came in defense. Johnson continues to clench. Another combination. Everything is in defense. Tony Johnson blocked. It seems that he has very little strength left. Right. A clean hit. Another combination. How many blows did Tony Johnson hit in the head of Alexander Emelianenko? He remains incredibly on his feet. Maybe to the right. Already literally the second number. Tony Johnson just survives. And at the same time throws out two blows. The weakened American just gives the space to Alexander Emelianenko. Meanwhile, half of the third round is behind us, dear friends. And the most interesting moment in this fight. Will Tony Johnson hold out on his feet? And will he be able to take a takedown, which can somehow save him in this situation? The fourth time. So far, we are seeing a formal beating. In the cage, which is periodically interrupted by the falling mouthguard. It is likely that he broke Alexander's nose. It's hard for him to breathe. Because of this, he spits out the mouthguard. And almost close his right eye. Also Alexander Emelianenko. And literally throws Alexander on himself. And covers himself in this situation. Yes, it seems that Alexander was the one who was attacking. He once threw Tony Johnson during the fight. But now he was unlucky. Tony Johnson is very heavy. It will be very difficult for Alexander to get out of here. The eyes are pointing to Alexander. But considering what happened in the cage in the first three minutes of this round, Tony Johnson will now have to beat without stopping. So that the judges give him preference. Periodic elbows reach the target. Tony Johnson is showing activity. He does just enough so that the judge does not raise his stance. This is already a very serious elbow. Literally one eye is closed. Alexander Emelianenko does not see anything. He defends himself instinctively. And just hits his opponent. And he was closed for almost the entire third round. The last minute of the fight begins. Tony Johnson is still on the attack. He periodically hits Alexander Emelianenko in the head with elbows. Alexander hits. He is trying to reduce the damage. The hands are slipping. Tony Johnson's elbows are in the blood of both. The last second of Tony Johnson's head. We see that the American fighter is trying to be as active as possible. He is trying to take the end of this round. And with this fight as a whole. Alexander Emelianenko also has a hard time. This is really a test. A test for a Russian fighter. The sixth fight in 11 months. The last seconds of the fight. And, apparently, it will come to a judge's decision. And in the first round... The judge's decision. At the end of the main event, we go to the judges' scorecards. 29-29. 29-28. 29-29. Thus, the majority of the judges' votes in this fight are fixed on... Ladies and gentlemen. This is a draw! A draw! Well, a draw. Perhaps, this is a compromise decision. But pay attention. Two judges gave a draw. And one judge presided over the victory of the American athlete. But after such fights, opinions are always divided. And not only the judges' opinions. I expect a storm of discussions now. Including in the world's cobweb. Well, this is the very moment when we can talk about a rematch. Undoubtedly. Tony Johnson is signed to the WFCA League. Alexander is also a fighter of the league and a fighter of the club. So...
