Fedor Emelianenko Trains with Brother Aleksander for Bout With Dan Henderson

It appears that Fedor Emelianenko and his brother Aleksander Emelianenko are working together again to prepare Fedor for his July 30th bout with Dan Henderson at the appropriately named Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson. Aleksander was a member of the Red Devil Sport Club for many years along with his brother, but left in 2009. The article here is in Croatian, and was translated by Marko Petrak of Fightsite.hr:

Fedor Emelianenko is doing his final preparations for his bout with Dan Handerson in small Rusian town called Kislodovsk. It’s situated between the Black and Caspian Seas. He recently made up with his brother Alexander after long period that this two haven’t even spoken to each other. Since he lost his two last fights, Fedor decided to change lot of things in his life, and he decided to start training with his brother Alexander again  – like they did in their prime.

Our sources tell us that both of the fighters are in great shape. Specially Alexander who lost some weight and looks really sharp. Fedor is also satisfied that he made up with his brother because this thing bothered him for a long time. Now he is lot calmer than he was before fights with Silva and Werdum.”

Aleksander fought in Pride for a long time, and was scheduled to fight on an Affliction card in 2008 but failed his medicals. He has fought in Europe and Asia ever since. He lost his last bout to Peter Graham in December.
