Russian Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Timofey Nastyukhin in an interview with , he said that the fight at the One FC tournament in Singapore with Turkey’s Khalil Amir would be a turning point in his career.
Nastyukhin, 32, has 14 wins and six losses. In 2019, the Russian defeated former UFC and Bellator champion American Eddie Alvarez.
– I have to pass him (Amir) as a fighter. We did a good job for this particular opponent. In addition, we did psychological work – you have already paid attention to my series. And by all means, I must take the path of victory. The fight with Amir is a turning point, Nastyukhin told .
– You paid attention to psychology. Fears do not creep in: what if another failure?
– There is no! I try not to keep such thoughts in my head. I will only win.
— Can you briefly describe your next opponent?
– He’s a left-handed drummer. In fact, everything. I think he didn’t have such strong opposition. Who did he fight? Especially with no one. For him, our duel will be the most important challenge. And for me, the task is just to pass this opponent.
– Purely theoretically, Amir can tell about you that apart from Eddie Alvarez, there are no peaks in your charts.
Let him say what he wants. Yes, the fight with Eddie Alvarez is isolated. Not everyone manages to fight with such star fighters, even more so to win them like that (Nastyukhin beat Alvarez by technical knockout in the first round in 2019 – Approx “”). And so Amir has his first fight at One FC. Before that, he had one fight each in AMC Fight Nights (the Turk’s last fight in February 2022 – approx. “”) and in UAE Warriors (the penultimate in September 2021 – approx. “” ) . And at One FC I have been fighting with all the tops since 2014, I had very strong opposition.
Nastyukhin has been playing at One FC since 2014, the next match will be the 13th in the Asian league. Amir makes his promotion debut, he has seven MMA wins.
The One FC tournament in Singapore with the participation of Nastyukhin will be broadcast live on the channel.
