– Everyone thinks I’m a wrestler, I like wrestling more. But I’m also working on a “strike”, when I go out to fight, for some reason I don’t fight anymore. That nobody thinks that I am a pure wrestler or a pure “parter”, we are preparing in all aspects.
I fought at home, in my native walls, 70% of everyone is here: all friends, relatives. There is such pressure – if you think about it … It happens that you burn your head, make slight mistakes. I came here, I wanted to forget that I was at home, that everyone I knew was here. I thought I was a guest, I came here to show, hang out, tear, – Egoyan told the show “All for the match!” on the channel.
Due to 31 years, Egoyan was 23 wins with 8 losses, Asamov – 6 wins and 3 losses.
