1981) is a Russian mixed martial arts fighter. He is a two-time Russian national
SAMBO champion, and two-time world SAMBO champion in the absolute divisions
Biography
Aleksander was born in the Russian SFSR in a family of a teacher, Olga
Feodorovna Emelianenko, and a welder, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Emelianenko.
Aleksander is the third child in the family and has an older sister, Marina, an
older brother, Fedor, and a younger brother, Ivan (born 1988). Fedor is the
reigning WAMMA heavyweight champion , while Ivan is currently in training.
Aleksander started martial arts training at a very early age: his older brother,
Fedor, often had to babysit him, and since Fedor didn't want to miss his Sambo
practice, he took young Aleksander with him. At first Aleksander only observed
the older kids, but soon he started mimicking their movements and doing pull-
ups and push-ups. Aleksander started his formal Sambo training when he joined
elementary school, but by that time his peers were already no match for him.
Aleksander trained with his childhood Sambo coach, Vladimir Mihailovich
Voronov, and his brother Fedor, until June 2006.[1]
In an interview, his brother Fedor confirmed that Aleksander had spent time in a
prison for robbery. Aleksander was sentenced to 5 years but was released after
3.5 years.[2]
