🔥💪You were right! Our latest video is about Jeff Monson, former American 🇺🇸 and former UFC fighter for the U.S. We had a real talk in the city of Ufa in Russia 🇷🇺 where he and his family live now.
’It was a $50k warrant for Jeff Monson’ 💵 in this interview the 52 year-old legend of MMA recalls his tense times in America, 3-months in jail 😱 as well as the blossoming of his career of the fighter after the epic victory over renowned Fedor Emelianenko.
Jeff denounced his American 🇺🇸 citizenship, so he became ’the full-time Russian’, as he calls himself. The bad side is, the borders of the U.S. and Europe are closed for Monson, so he can’t go out much.
🇷🇺 Here, in Russia, he joined the Communist Party, but in the end was disappointed: ’There’s no communism there’ he explains. Nevertheless, Jeff Monson ran an election and was elected as deputy, started several sports schools and is about to run some new social projects besides training and teaching students
🙏🔥 After years in Moscow and Krasnogorsk, Jeff lives in Ufa with his Russian wife and two redhead Russian daughters, while his three eldest children still live in the U.S. and the five have never met each other yet. That’s a lot even for such a toughie as Jeff Monson and his death wish is... well, watch the full video to figure it out!
