We fought together, doing 3-4 10 round bouts a week. And now, I spent training camps with him: three weeks, we trained every other day, five rounds of five minutes each. It’s for MMA. It was so hard for me! He hits so hard that I wanted to say, “Enough, don’t hit me so hard.” It hits really hard, weighs 120 kg. But I endured and it paid off.
Dmitry suggested to work more with the front hand in the body, I started to focus on that, hit and started knocking down Muhumat’s passes, because when he went low towards the pass , I knocked and didn’t give him the chance.
