FC heavyweight champion Canadian Arzhan Bhullar avoids meeting with interim belt holder Russian Anatoly Malikhin the organization should therefore set deadlines and otherwise strip Bhullar of the title, Malykhin manager Alexander Skaredin told .
The 34-year-old Russian fighter has 10 wins. In One FC, Malykhin had three successful wins. Because of Bhullar, 36, 11 wins and one loss. At the UFC, the Canadian had three fights, two of which he won, at One FC he has two victories.
– I suspect that Bhullar does not want this meeting and will delay the fight as much as possible. So far he has succeeded in doing so. Instead of the organization, I would set a certain deadline, and if this meeting did not take place in these terms, I would deprive Bhullar of the belt and that’s it. Their fight was postponed three times, and now there is no date when Malykhin can fight the Canadian.
– Will Malykhin repeat the path of Nastyukhin? Will the Russian heavyweight play at One FC all of his career, or is this some kind of special stage in his career?
– Time will tell us. Anatoly has a great direct attitude from the organization. He is comfortable there. Obviously, he is a top heavyweight. Moreover, he has quite serious financial conditions in One FC.
I don’t know if it is possible to repeat them in another organization. We are not moving forward, we are satisfied with the current course with One FC. And what will happen next – we’ll see.
– I agree that professional martial arts is primarily about income and finances. On the other hand, there are also sporting ambitions. Let’s imagine that Malykhin will have the opportunity to play in the UFC under somewhat weaker financial conditions…
– How much worse? Anatoly’s current conditions are such that they could be many times “worse”. So what? Let’s say hypothetically. That is to say, he will fight in the UFC for much less money, so that the guys on the networks can leave the following comments: “Damn, he finally signed up for a normal league, and not not beat the bags somewhere”? Anatoly has a family, he has someone to take care of. I see no reason why this should be sacrificed if you don’t have comparable conditions.
