Russian fighter Ivan Shtyrkov reacted to the statement of the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White which allowed promotion athletes to compete under national flags.
A total ban on flags in the UFC has been in effect since last spring.
– Of course, it will add motivation in any case. Interesting solution. I would like to know the reason. White is beautiful, as always. This is how it should be. The guys compete not only for themselves, for their teams, but also for the country, because this is an international promotion in which fighters from all countries compete in strength, skills and abilities . There is nothing shameful or compromised about showing up with the flag. from your country. On the contrary, it is worthy. If you don’t like going out with a flag, don’t go out. If you don’t like watching it, don’t watch it,” Metaratings.ru quotes Shtyrkov.
