Our Business league chief Armen Ghulyan says MMA fighter Artem Rofal will receive the amount for his participation in the promotion tournament, despite the fight being canceled due to a massive brawl.
Rofal was supposed to fight Shovkhal Churchaev on September 1, but the fight was called off due to a massive brawl involving Churchaev on the eve of the tournament. During a press conference, the fighter attacked one of the fans together with his friend Ilyas Yakubov, who had already lost to Rofal by decision of the judges.
– Did you try to find an opponent for Artem Rofal, given that Miri Sadigov and Mohammad Heybati, nicknamed the Persians of Dagestan, were called to replace Churchaev?
– The fight against the Persians of Dagestan was not considered. About the fight with Miri, Artem clearly stated his position – he is not interested. We considered different options, but none were suitable. Artem Rofal will receive a fixed part of his fee, he gained weight, entered the limit, and this situation did not depend on him in any way, ” correspondent reports, according to Gulyan.
