Russian woman competing in the UFC Victoria Dudakova in an interview with , she admitted that her coach Hasanali Gasanaliev in Thailand had an altercation with a local specialist who decided to lead a difficult fight with the athlete herself.
Dudakova was preparing for the UFC 294 tournament in Koh Samui, Thailand. The Russian will fight her second fight in the organization against 38-year-old American Jean Yu Frey. Dudakova’s head coach is former professional MMA fighter Hasanali Gasanaliev.
—How do you like Jin Yu Fray?
— I watched all his fights, even the Invicta ones. She will be my first left-hander, so throughout the camp we only fought with left-handers. We tried not to advertise it on social media. They even filmed these sparring matches where my opponent was right-handed, but I usually only trained with left-handers. There have been new developments, in this fight, in principle, you will have to do everything, because she can both fight and strike. Here you won’t be able to focus on just one aspect. It will be an interesting fight and a good test for me.
-Who did you train with?
— We brought two guys and there were a lot of Thai girls.
— I heard that fights between girls turn out to be principled.
— All our sparring sessions were difficult, and there were a lot of them in this camp compared to the previous ones. The girls, of course, are also trying to prove something. But not everyone succeeds. When they stopped succeeding, their coach stood up and tried to prove it to me himself. He and Hasanali almost got into a fight.
– Tell me.
“There is a coach there, a Thai, much bigger than me, he supported me.” Apparently he didn’t really like it when his girls lost, and he started fighting with me fully. Hasanali said, “I will go out now too. » They barely pushed me away. They had a difficult discussion, the coach then apologized, he realized that he was wrong, because after all, fighting between a girl and a girl is one thing, but when a girl starts to standing with a coach, with a man, they are different things. .
— How did you understand that the coach wanted to fight with you?
– Well, you can see when a person is working at full strength, when he is trying to hurt himself. It’s one thing when you have someone your weight in a fight, you can work on it sloppy. I myself am not one of those people who work carefully. Especially when you’re at the peak of your training and need an intense fight. If a girl is with a girl, I don’t see a problem, someone wins, someone loses, it always happens. And when a man directly begins to behave this way, it is wrong,” Dudakova told .
