russian fighter Bibert Tumenov told that he is not currently considering the possibility of performing in the UFC and is determined to win the ACA title.
Tumenov on Sept. 2 in Krasnodar will host an ACA Grand Prix quarterfinal bout at featherweight with former PFL fighter, American Lance Palmer. This fight will headline the ACA 162 tournament. Tumenov, 26, has 12 wins and two losses in MMA.
– I now have a contract with the ACA league and I don’t want to talk about the UFC. The ASA brings together the best fighters, there are good fees. The main thing for me is to win the title in the ACA league,” Tumenov told .
In his last fight, Tumenov defeated compatriot Andrey Goncharov in November 2022 by unanimous decision. This fight was recognized as the best fight of the year by the ASA.
– This confrontation was very interesting. The fight took place in a standing position. Since I fought with one eye in this fight, I only showed 50% of what I could. If he re-signs with the league, then (rematch) no problem. But now my goal is the ACA belt in Grand Prix. For my purposes only this. As for future plans… I never look far. I have a fight with Palmer, I want to get over it. And then, following the results of the Grand Prix, to show and prove that I am the best in 66 kg in ACA,” added Tumenov.
Saturday’s ACA 162 tournament will be broadcast on Match! Fighter” from 3:55 p.m. Moscow time to 7:00 p.m. Moscow time, as well as on the TV channel “Match! Country” from 6:35 p.m. Moscow time. Live fights can also be seen on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
