UFC veteran Alexei Oleinik said in a interview that he could fight with Ivan Shtyrkov and is prepared to meet the category limit up to 93 kg, if conditions are right.
– With Ivan Shtyrkov accept the fight?
– I taught them a master class, I fought with Vanya, a good guy, I treat him very well. But he’s a professional fighter, I’m a professional fighter. Why can’t we fight if we are in the same weight. Although we communicate and support each other, business is business.
– Will you be a light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) for this fight, if asked?
– With Derrick Lewis, I was 99 kg, but now I am about 115 kg, for seven months I have not done a single training, I have relaxed. I already had the idea that I wouldn’t fight at all. If I hadn’t been intimidated by money, I would have already ended my career. But if we talk about weight up to 93 kg, it all depends on the conditions.
– I saw Vyacheslav Datsik in the club with you. Did you fight?
– Not yet. So we will fight with him, we try to remain vigilant, even if we smile.
– What is the probability that you will fight?
– Why not?! He’s still not Lena Berkova or Olga Buzova. A strong, young (relatively young, like me) healthy child who plows a lot more than a lot. Seems to me like it’s growing, Oleinik told .
Shtyrkov participates in the Ural RCC promotion and has MMA stats of 22 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The fighter started out in the heavyweight category, but is currently fighting in the up to 93kg category. Oleinik fought 17 fights in the UFC and ended his relationship with the American promotion last year, fighting in the heavyweight division.
