Ural FC League executive director Lenar Ganeev told he will negotiate with the MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko about the struggle in the promotion of the Urals.
Earlier, Ural FC representatives repeatedly talked about possible cooperation with a fighter from Omsk. On July 21, Shlemenko (63-15-1-1 in MMA) fought in his SFC league tournament, defeating former UFC fighter Alex Oliveira by choke.
– Is there a chance that Alexander will organize the next fight with you?
In fact, the odds are quite high. We plan the interaction, we discuss. I think it will also depend on the desire of Alexander himself, how often he is ready to fight.
– Do you want to come to Omsk with a tournament or invite Alexander to perform somewhere in Russia?
– I came to Omsk to see how the public is fighting here. I was here once, but it was a different arena and a different number of spectators. And now I’ve seen him at his peak. I was very happy for Omsk and for the people who come. If we go back to the question, we can consider both options. It would also be good to bring Shlemenko to Perm.
– Will you try to arrange a rematch with Magomed Ismailov?
“We have to discuss it here, it depends on Magi, we haven’t spoken to him yet, but if he is ready, if he wants to fight, then why not. We could co-promote this fight with someone,” Ganeev told .
The first fight between Shlemenko and Ismailov took place on December 3 and ended with Magomed winning by unanimous decision of the judges.
