Zaur Ugev having won in the weight category up to 57 kg at the Ivan Yarygin Cup, noted that the tournament was difficult for him.
In the final, Uguev beat his compatriot Akhmed Idrisov.
– Today, it was not easy to fight in the final, but I tried to do my job calmly. Finals are always tough, this one is no exception. Decisive fights are always harder than usual – 1/8, 1/16. I already have experience behind me. Of course there is excitement, but I didn’t feel like I was out of shape, I couldn’t fight. I was set up for every fight, I only came out to win.
The heaviest gold in the Yarygin tournament? I think 2017 was not an easy tournament for me. This one was also difficult, because I arrived like that – sometimes I got sick, sometimes something else intervened. Win in the last seconds – my business card? I do not want to say. I don’t want to risk. It happened. It’s a fight, it’s happening here. The main thing is that he won the fight, he managed to bring it to a successful conclusion.
I watched the World Cup in Belgrade. The winners showed a good fight. Who would you like to compete with if you were allowed to participate in international tournaments? Lots of guys. Last time there was a good fight with Gilmon. If everything goes well, if they allow me to participate in the international tournament, it doesn’t matter who accompanies me, we will fight with that. I would have fought with the same Gilmon with pleasure,” the correspondent said, citing Uguev.
