russian fighter Alexei Makhno after the tournament was postponed, AMC Fight Nights said in a interview that he was ready to fight Dmitry Bikrev for the welterweight title at any time.
Makhno, 33 (25-9 in MMA), was scheduled to fight Bikrev (13-3) for the AMC Fight Nights welterweight (77.5kg) title at a tournament in Moscow on June 24. On the day of the tournament, both fighters were informed that the event would be rescheduled for a later date.
– They asked when your fight could take place?
– There is no information yet. I can call Kamil Hajiyev, but I don’t really want to be a person who, in a rather difficult time, will say to himself: “When? And when?!”. As soon as there is a date, I will be one of the first to know, because no matter what date the tournament is rescheduled, we will play it. And 27 other guys are also waiting for the date .
I don’t think that in principle I should ask Kamil this question, because his event failed and he, like no one else, is interested in doing it. For this we need fighters, which means we will be informed first. There will be information soon. The only caveat right now is the weight. Race again? Absurd, especially if the tournament is in a week. If you drive the weight again, then it will take a month to lay. It might make sense for us to stay within the category limit, but with a 5kg tolerance. In other words, for the 77 category, there would be a tolerance of 82 kg.
– On what date and at what weight would you like to fight?
– Never mind. Will they say next weekend? Before. Next week? Before. Lester? I think that in the near future it will be enough to display 82-83 kg. And then not just me, but you have to ask the other side. These cravings and whims. First, I am not a champion. Second, Kamil tells me – I do. I never asked Kamil what my fees were, I never negotiated. They will say to fight next weekend, so you have to fight,” Makhno said in an interview with .
