– I do not look in the direction of the battle between Shlemenko and Reznikov, because I myself want to fight Shlemenko. Let Reznikov deal with Bagov first. I want to fight Shlemenko, and there is even interest from both sides, as well as the promoter. Let’s see. Maybe at the end of the year we will organize this fight. This confrontation interests me a lot. Palych has a name! I have always respected him and will continue to respect him. He is a fighter with a capital letter, a legend of our sport. When I competed with him in the clinch, Shlemenko had been to Bellator before and we considered him a very tough comrade. I’m waiting for decisions and I’m happy to be part of this confrontation,” Bikrev told .
