Athletistic/ Boxing. Famous pop MMA fighter Ilyas Yakubov responded to the words of promoter Vladimir Khryunov, who said that Ilyas refused a contract with the UFC in favor of participating in the REN TV Fight Club tournament.
“I don’t know who told him that. The UFC didn’t offer me a contract. In the UAE there is a local UAE Warriors league, in which they can give me a chance. Dana White attends quite a bit often at the tournaments of this organization. “If it doesn’t work out here, I think it is possible in Russia to organize two or three high-level fights in MMA with good strong opponents. We are now taking one step back, so that we can then take two steps forward,” Yakubov quotes him as saying: MMA.Metaratings.ru.
Yakubov’s next fight will be against Vyacheslav Vasilevsky on October 27.
