Russian Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Andrei Goncharov in an interview with , he said that in a live combat situation after meeting with Bibert Tumenov, he tried to behave more carefully and dignified.
Last weekend, Goncharov and Tumenov fought live on . The duel between the fighters is scheduled for November 4 as part of the ACA 147 tournament in Moscow. Goncharov has 15 wins and three losses in MMA, Tumenov has 11 wins and two losses.
“I never acted provocatively, I never touched on a personal point,” Goncharov said. – The opponent wanted to bring out emotions, but he almost failed. Some say it is a decree. It certainly wasn’t.
At the same time, I can say that I wasn’t going to beat anyone. And there was an opportunity for that. For example, when he had just pushed, I had the opportunity to knock, and I said to myself: “To give sea bream would be ugly and disrespectful. Even earlier, in conversations with my dad, we had projected behaviors during skirmishes, etc., and my dad had said to me, “No, that’s an insult and disrespect. We have to behave better.”
In this case, I just pushed him away and he wanted to fight … In general, on November 4, we will beat him.
– My colleague led you to mutual attacks.
I don’t blame him (the host). Maybe he was just doing his job. Maybe they had a script. No one told me about anything. And so from the presenter there were jokes, so that there were ratings for the channel, so that there was an interesting story. And in the end, everything happened like that. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. In this situation, I tried to behave with more caution and dignity, so as not to fall into these low frequencies and dirt. But if you need to give an answer, we always will.
– You say you tried not to give in, but in the end there was still a fight.
– Listen… When they attack you with punches… Here you just have to answer. I wasn’t the instigator of all this mess. The adversary wanted to fight… And what did he want to show? Instill some kind of fear? It’s funny. Immediately you can look at it differently in the context: “He who hurts, he talks about it.”
– What is your attitude towards Tumenov now?
“He’s a worthy opponent. But now there’s more desire to break him, there’s more aggression. But the mood is winning!
