Rival Israel Adesanya compared the chances of Ismailov and Mineev in a potential fight with the UFC champion

Russian fighter Murad Kuramagomedov, who became the rival of the UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2016 told how Adesanya’s fight with Magomed Ismailov and Vladimir Mineev could have ended.

– You probably trained with Vladimir Mineev. And he could fight Adesanya?

– We argued a lot with Vladimir. He would have had a good fight with Adesanya. Standing, Russian fighters with [Исраэлем] could fight at the hands of Mineev, Shlemenko, Murad Abdulaev and Albert Tumenov, although they are already a little easier.

– Magomed Ismailov, who has a good fight, plays in the same weight. Which of them would have a better chance against Adesanya: him or Vladimir Mineev, who is a bit fresher and has better kicking technique?

– I think the wrestler would have had more chances, but Magomed wouldn’t have had enough stamina for five rounds with Adesanya. It will be difficult to hold Adesanya back, especially if you are not big like Blachowicz, who could control him with weight. Adesanya is physically strong and stands up very well when you transfer him.

Mineev and Kuramagomedov are sparring partners and train at the Universal Fighters club.
