UFC Russian Welterweight Rinat Fakhretdinov on the air of “” told how he had an American as a rival Kevin Lee .
The fight in the lightweight category will take place on the night of July 2 in Moscow as part of UFC Vegas 76 in Las Vegas (USA).
I thought for a long time why they gave it to me. I didn’t think they gave me Kevin Lee for merit. If I understand correctly, Dana White signed him, and matchmakers don’t like it when they sign. They don’t like me either, I think, because Dana White personally signed me. And matchmakers don’t like it, especially Sean Shelby. And so he started thinking about who to give Kevin. Look, here we have one, broke the record. Lie down and go under. You win and you win. He wins – okay, we’ll move on. That’s the story, I think. It’s not like they gave me Kevin Lee. No. It seems to me that the two of us are not particularly liked, and they fought like this: go and fight between yourselves, ”Fakhretdinov said on .
Fakhretdinov previously won both fights in the UFC by unanimous decision. In his last fight, he defeated Brian Battle at UFC Vegas 66. In total, the 31-year-old fighter has 20 wins including one loss in MMA.
