Shlemenko explained why he did not respond to Ilic on the offer of revenge

Russian MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko (61 wins, 14 losses) commented on the interview of his former rival Alexander Ilic (14-5) “”, where the Serbian fighter showed the message of Shlemenko to the correspondent of the publication, which remained unanswered.

After the fight on August 26, where Ilic beat Shlemenko by technical knockout, the Serb wrote a message to the Russian with a rematch offer and his phone number, but, as Ilic himself said, Shlemenko ignored his message.

– Ilic showed the message he sent to you, and where he left his phone number and wrote that he was ready to take revenge. He told me no one had called him.

– I saw this interview – it turned out that I do not watch live (Ilic sent a message to Shlemenko in the messenger of a popular social network. – About “”). I approached him after the tournament, he gave me a vague answer when we spoke at the RCC. Then we contacted his manager, we didn’t agree with the manager, I don’t know if Ilic was informed of the content of this conversation. His manager said yes. I don’t know which of them is lying, but what’s the difference now.

– It seems to me that this is one of the most important rematches in Russian MMA, and it breaks down because you just didn’t write off Ilic.

– Why? We managed to reach his manager. The manager refused us.

— Adrien or Lucien Bacos, is that it? Ilic said to me: “this guy is not my manager”.

– We negotiated with them, they called us the amount. I won’t say, but the amount was very large and we didn’t even start talking anymore.

– Are you going to argue with Souza and call Ilic’s phone number, which he wrote to you?

“Let’s wait for the fight with Souza, why run in front of the engine? My goal is not to find Ilic at any cost, to pay him money to show someone something,” Shlemenko told .

Shlemenko is set to face 37-year-old Kleber Souza (23-13) in Omsk in the SFC 5 tournament. Alexander Ilitch will face Magomed Ismailov in the Pravda tournament under professional boxing rules.
