– I see it now [интервью бойцов было совместным] and I’m worried. Let’s go to the cage – we will solve all the moments. We will put a bold point after four months of preparation.
Is anxiety a fear?
– What fear ? He’s a person like me. The stronger he is, the better it is to fight him. If I lose, I lose against a very strong and worthy fighter; if I win, I defeat a very strong and healthy mammoth.
My assumptions about the plan of the opponent: going out “on the handles”, to get direct hits, then yes, there will be open explosive hits. If the swings are wide, I’ll drop it. I am ready both in the stalls and in the standing position. We won belts for a reason. We’ll chop until we run out of oxygen. Whoever is doing well wins. But psychologically, we cannot guess. There is no malice,” Vakhaev said on .
Vakhaev is 33 years old, he won 11 times in mixed martial arts, lost six times. Ponomarev is 28 years old, he has six MMA wins and two losses.
