The brother of one of the greatest MMA fighters ever is likely going to jail.
Alexander Emelianenko was convicted of sexual assault charges and sentenced to 4 ½ years in jail, reported the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI) on Tuesday. Emelianenko was also fined 50,000 rubles ($1,000) by Moscow's Simonovsky District Court.
Emelianenko, whose brother Fedor is regarded as perhaps the best MMA heavyweight of all time, was found guilty on charges that he assaulted and raped his housekeeper, Polina Stepanova, on March 2, 2014 and then seized her passport.
Emelianenko, 33, pleaded not guilty and claimed the sex was consensual.
