UFC Russian Welterweight Muslim Salikhov in an interview with suggested that Zarema Salikhova companion of the former owner of Spartak Leonid Fedun is a biathlete or a skier.
Salikhov has been with the UFC since November 2017, having had six wins and two losses. The 39-year-old Russian’s overall stat is 19 wins, 3 losses. Salikhov has long performed in shock disciplines and received the nickname “King of Kung Fu”.
– When I was preparing for an interview, I wrote your surname in a search engine and realized that in Russian sports there is a person with your surname more popular than you. Do you know who Zarema Salikhova is?
– Biathlete or skier?
– The wife of the former president of FC Spartak.
– Oh, so she’s not an athlete! She just seemed to be in charge. I am for “Spartacus “I have been sick in the Russian championship since childhood. And I even remember that they discussed this situation when he decided a lot in Spartak, but now everything has changed. Usually, I know who it is, but I thought you asked about the athlete.
— Which players and matches are Spartak associated with?
– Tikhonov, Titov, Alenichev. And if you take matches, probably the Champions League, matches with Real Madrid; I remember there was an attacking semi-final with Inter (in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup season – approx. ed.).
– Have you communicated with the players?
No, I’m more a fan of the game than of the players. Somehow it turned out that since childhood I have been a fan of Spartak, and not of Dagestan teams.
“Did you go to Anji?”
– Often. And when Eto’o and Roberto Carlos played for them, he was there too. It seems to me that with them our players began to train more diligently: the same Kamil Agalarov tried, if I remember correctly, he ran a lot. Maybe they’re not as technically equipped, but they tried.
– But Dagestan fighters are still better than players?
“For sure, yes,” Salikhov told .
