MOSCOW, October 28 (RIA Novosti) – Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko has settled a lawsuit concerning an alleged assault by him last week, his lawyer said Monday.

A 63-year-old man was hospitalized with multiple injuries last Wednesday following a brawl in a cafe in southeastern Moscow. Emelianenko was later taken in for questioning by police but released after filing a counter-claim stating he was only defending himself.

“The complainant, who is already not a complainant, and Alexander made peace and shook hands,” lawyer Kakhaber Dolbadze said. “Both filed a petition to close the case and we are waiting for the corresponding decision.”

Following the incident, MMA promotion company Legend terminated its contract with 31-year-old Emelianenko, stating he was "unprofessional" and unprepared for a bout against Croatian fighter Mirko Filipovic on November 8. He was removed from the card and replaced with another Russian, Alexei Oleinik.

Emelianenko has a 23-6 career win-loss record. He is the younger brother of former MMA champion Fedor Emelianenko.
