Jeff Monson announced the replacement of the opponent in his farewell fight

Famous mixed martial arts fighter Jeff Monson previously announced his farewell fight in Ufa, which became his hometown after moving to Russia.

The fight is supposed to take place at the end of August, and another star fighter Alexander Emelianenko was originally called Monson's rival.

But, according to Jeff, it has now become clear that his potential opponent has serious health problems. In this regard, the organizers of his farewell fight were tasked with finding another opponent for Monson.

“Alexander is now receiving the necessary medical care he needs. He has been used for too long to make money without caring about his health, ”said the former American.

At the same time, Monson promised that his farewell to the octagon would take place on time. “I will fight at the end of August. But not against Emelianenko, ”the athlete explained.
