The fight was held on 14 April at the "Clash of the Nations" event in St. Petersburg, Russia. Lindland moved up two weight classes from middleweight to heavyweight for the match and came in weighing Dana White expressed interest in signing Emelianenko, but considered his management team to be the primary barrier, whereas Finkelchtein cited difficult negotiations as the reason.
A main point of contention between the two was Finkelchtein's request for the UFC to work with his Russian M-1 promotion, extending contractual offers to other members of the Red Devil Sport Club, and permitting Emelianenko to compete in combat sambo tournaments.
Nevertheless, negotiations broke down, as Emelianenko committed to a non-exclusive, two-year and six-fight deal with M-1 Global in October In , two years after his army service, he married Oksana, whom he had known since school, and their daughter Masha was born in the same year.

A third meeting was thus scheduled for Shockwave , which Emelianenko won. Emelianenko this time chose not to engage Nogueira on the ground, in spite of having dominated him there in their first match.

He was not able to implement his game plan of putting Emelianenko on his back, save for the final 30 seconds of the first round. He was not able to pull guard for any considerable time. During the second and third rounds, Emelianenko's takedown defense and counter-punching earned him a unanimous decision victory to retain the heavyweight championship.
Nogueira was considered by many fans to be virtually unbeatable, due to his endurance and submission skills. Emelianenko rocked him early with punches and Nogueira pulled guard.
Emelianenko survived Nogueira's guard, considered the most dangerous in MMA and easily defended all of Nogueira's submission attempts, dominating him for 20 minutes with a brutal ground and pound. The judges rendered a unanimous decision and Emelianenko became the second Pride Heavyweight Champion, a title he would never lose.

He doesn't owe anything else to the sport.

He bought out and shut down numerous promotions Emelianeko competed in, while declaring Fedor was too scared to compete in UFC. There is nothing humane about him and I found that quite revolting. Money, of course, is important for living and for the family.
