AMC Fight Nights President Kamil Hajiyev, in a conversation with reporters, said that Azerbaijani Nariman Abbasov’s victory in a duel with Russian Marif Pirayev would be more beneficial for the organization.
Both participants in the fight between AMC Fight Nights lightweight champion (up to 70 kg) Abbasov and Piraev, which will take place on June 10 in Moscow, have reached the category limit. This fight will be broadcast live on .
— Which victory is most beneficial to the organization?
– Good question. If Nariman wins, the league will have a champion with more defenses. And everyone will start rushing (to fight him), including fighters from other leagues. But, to be honest, Marif brings new blood into this story, brings in a young audience. Still, if Nariman remains the champion, it will be a bit more convenient for the league. Will explain. Marif likes to fight very often. We won’t be able to give him fights often, and he’ll start fighting in other leagues – boxing or whatever. And you can’t always win. And it’s not very good if the champion loses somewhere. That’s what I didn’t want.
– Piraev has already said that he just wants to win the belt, and then leave it.
– See. Above all.
– That is to say that you have no contract with Piraev?
We have no contract. If necessary, we will agree. And if he leaves the belt vacant, it will be interesting. There are some interesting people in the 70 kg. Vaughn, the ASA Lightweight Grand Prix. Maybe some of these guys will want to fight for the AMC Fight Nights belt in the future.
