“You’re right about it being popular. Everyone seems to understand that it’s bad and all this pop MMA is an unhealthy topic, but it still garners a huge audience.
However, there should be a sign from above about this. If we care about our younger generation, then not only from above, [но и] from below, to cut off incomprehensible popularity.
We have experienced different things, we understand that the people of our country have somehow started to react to unnatural things, all kinds of meaninglessness. It seems to me that there should be an order from above to stop everything at the legislative level, ”says Emelianenko “Sport Express”.
