Russian mixed martial artist Edward Vartanyan on “” spoke about preparations for the ACA Grand Prix Final against Artem Reznikov and also on his diet before the fight.
Friday in Sochi, Vartanyan (24-4) and Reznikov (24-6) will dispute the status of Grand Prix winner and a fee of 200 thousand dollars.
“I have come a long way. Spilled a lot of sweat and blood. And here is the quintessence of this Grand Prix: the final. It remains to go out and show what he is capable of.
Previously, I had reached the Grand Prix final, but I had not won this fight. In some cases, a negative experience carries a mobilizing force. Now many call me a veteran. But I don’t see myself as such.
– Everyone only talks about your fight, no chatter.
I think it’s education. I was taught not to insult opponents. I was lucky that my opponents also respected me.
I worked on the north-south position. But the key factor will be the implementation of the plan and its monitoring throughout the race. According to the plan, I want to go ahead and finish the fight earlier than planned.
I’m more of a versatile fighter, I can work on the ground and in the stand. Win with confidence.
“Tried to know the plans of the adversary?”
– Artem does the same in all fights. But always follow the plan. His main strength is combat. But she is direct and strong. This is when you hide the jumpsuit and just move towards the legs. Without any deception. Knock and go. Using my skills, I will neutralize his advantage.
Do you think about money at all?
– Yes of course. I would not have participated if not for a good sum. You spend most of your time in the gym, stressing your body. He must be very well paid.
Now I have 8 kg left to lose. I am now in the best shape of my entire career.
What about food, what is your psychological state?
– I got round 17. Everything is comfortable. I don’t have chicken breasts, I have turkey steaks with soy sauce. Food doesn’t irritate me.
– Who will support you?
– Almost all my team, Cœur de Lion, family, father, wife, many friends.
— Can you address the fans?
– I am sincerely grateful to those who support and support me, worries. THANKS! It is an additional motivation. And it helps me to move forward,” Vartanyan said on .
