Pride FC veteran Alexander Emelianenko has always had a fearsome look about him. The younger brother of the great Fedor Emelianenko has now revealed a prison tattoo that nobody ever realized he had done…
Nicknamed ‘The Grim Reaper,’ Alexander Emelianenko made his name during the glory days of Japanese MMA. Competing under the Pride FC banner, Alex quickly became known for his knockout power and assassin-like demeanor.
During that period, Fedor was widely considered the best heavyweight fighter on the planet. He had been undefeated for years, and knocked out or submitted numerous former UFC champions in Pride.
Always fighting under his older brother’s staggering shadow, a rift was beginning to build between the Alexander and Fedor. But it wasn’t only their fighting careers that led to differences, as Alexander began walking a dark path again.
Having been to prison as a teenager, the younger Emelianenko brother returned in May 2015.
Conviction, Release & Beef With Fedor
The crimes Alexander were convicted of were alarming, to say the least. He’d stood accused of sexual assault and holding a housemaid against her will. He was sentenced to hard time in a Russian prison but was released last year on good behavior.
The story has continued on Alex’s fighting career, he joined the controversial Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov’s Akhmat Fight Club. The younger brother of Fedor crushed Geronimo dos Santos in his MMA return last month.
As if his persona wasn’t already daunting enough, Alex took to Instagram to reveal a dark prison tattoo that nobody knew he had until now:

When you consider what his older brother Fedor was saying earlier this week, Alex’s head tattoo could potentially have very dark links:
“You hid from everyone that you were in prison for the first time in 18 years, explaining your tattoos are just a hobby. But there are more than a dozen photos with fellow inmates, and the room is clearly not like a tattoo parlor.” (hinting these are gang tattoos).
“During the training, I repeatedly looked for you on bars and found me drinking alcoholic beverages. The team asked you to hold the weight, but instead you drank a beer belly, and everyone saw the result.”
Alex Responded Saying Fedor Has His Own Skeletons
“I was not surprised by this letter, even pleased. In it, he finally showed all his essence, all his inner space, and everyone saw that the shit in this man is greater than he weighs. Nothing that he could shock or surprise, he also did not introduce. He called me a Jew. If I’m a Judas, then who is he? Jesus Christ? “
He noted that he knows a lot about his brother, but he considers it “beneath his dignity to pour mud on him.”
“If you are mowing under the righteous, so stick to it, so that the halo over your head does not fade,” stressed Alexander. Quotes from Russian RT
