Russian MMA fighter Oleg Taktarov told about the misunderstanding with Vyacheslav Datsik during a personal meeting four years ago.
Russian fighters Taktarov and Datsik at the same tournament are expected to fight in boxing with Jeff Monson and Oli Thompson, respectively. Previously, the athletes met during the filming of a video interview in early 2019 in St. Petersburg.
– i like how [Дацик] has changed over the past three years. I initially deleted his phone number after our communication with him, he volunteered to drive me from set. And I spoke to someone, I watch, he films me (on the phone). I say, “Slava, what are you doing? He said, “Yes, that’s for the zone there, the second or the fourth, the guys asked. They love you.” I said, “Well, it’s not done the same way! I would have asked permission. Stop the car.” And I went out somewhere in St. Petersburg, minus 31, went on foot. But time passes, you have to know how to forgive, Kamil Gadzhiev and I are friends again thanks to Bat Khasikov. J I have peace with almost everyone who has a good nature from the very beginning. And Datsik – look how funny.
– Would it be interesting to train and train with Datsik?
– Well, you can neigh, but you can’t. But I don’t think I’ll get much out of him, literally or figuratively. It seems to me that a simple fight would be more interesting than a sparring, because there would be something between professional wrestling and [чем‑то еще]I even started crying at the thought. It would be really funny.
– They say it is very difficult to prepare for such opponents. How would you defeat him?
“When I started to get tired, I beat him with my favorite tricks, most likely transferred to the floor and finished everything there,” Taktarov told .
