Aleksander Emelianenko, the younger brother of Fedor, lost in an upset this past Saturday in Russia, ending an eight-fight unbeaten streak lasting over three years.
Competing under modified rules of stand ups after 30 seconds on the ground, Aleksander lost in the main event of “Draka 5” to K-1 veteran Peter Graham by way of leg kicks at two minutes and 50 seconds of the second round.
It was only the second (T)KO loss of Aleksander’s career, his first being the head kick loss to Mirko Cro Cop at PRIDE Final Conflict 2004. Additionally, It was also Aleksander’s first loss since 2006, which came against the same opponent as his brother’s most recent loss, Fabricio Werdum.
