russian fighter mma Ivan Shtyrkov said ACA promotion is becoming a monopoly in Russian mixed martial arts.
— I wouldn’t say there is a trend. We have the same ACA, which is currently becoming a monopoly in Russian MMA. The promotion welcomes almost all strong professional fighters and contracts with them for a large number of fights, up to six. It is therefore not a question here of the peculiarities of the market, but of specific personalities. Some athletes have behind them a certain background and a certain media resource, which allows them to fight more often and in different disciplines. Thus, he can work more and earn more, but at the same time be obligated to no one, bound by contractual obligations.
If seasoned fighters have the ability to be free agents and have no shortage of offers, they are more likely to choose that. Young people, on the contrary, want to be sure of their future, which is why they enter into long-term contracts. In a way, that’s good. A person knows that he has a job and cannot care about it, – quotes RT Shtyrkov.
Shtyrkov, who turns 35 in September, has 22 wins, two losses and a draw in MMA. Moreover, Shtyrkov fought under the rules of boxing with Magomed Ismailov, and under the rules of kickboxing – with Peter Romankevich.
