Russian Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Alexander Shlemenko says that his compatriot Magomed Ismailov is not in its best shape.
Shlemenko and Ismailov announced their fight in December last year, they planned to fight in July. But in April, Ismailov announced that he had undergone knee surgery and was actively recovering. In May, the fighters signed a contract for a fight under MMA rules, scheduled for August 27 in Yekaterinburg.
– Well, he weighs like a fig. Just a lot. And he is overweight. It is not a working weight – the shoulders in it are two meters or the banks are huge. It has a small weight attached to the barrels. I’m not saying he’s in a pitiful state. But a five-round fight in this form is not realistic to fight back. That’s why I said it. Just so you understand: tomorrow I can gain weight and fight. What does it say? About my preparation. I’m in good shape. The magician will not make weight tomorrow. Yes, and in a week, and in two, most likely, he will not. I’m ready, but he’s not. He has to go on a diet, start a crazy cut, like he usually does. And if he really weighs, as he says, more than 100 kg… How much, 16 kg, must he remove? Well, that’s a lot. No way. I have never driven so much in my life. And I will calmly take off six kilograms.
Magomed recorded a video of how he works on a pear? Well, on a pear, you know… A lot of people can beat on it. And I also saw a video of Maga eating ice cream. And jump on a pear, beat 30 seconds – or even less, 10 seconds – everyone can. I’m ready. I hope Maga will also be ready in August and everything will be fine. I will not rejoice.
Even though a lot of people bother me. They say you’re tougher there with Maga. Ou Kamil (Gadzhiev) says we have kind of a bad relationship there, we don’t want to fight. I myself have been injured and I understand what it is. And I know how many do. Taking advantage of this opportunity, knowing that due to injury the opponent cannot go into battle, they begin to press him, challenge him and beat him hard. How did it happen? The person needs help. I can suggest a few treatment options. Let “Omega-3” drink. He is strengthening very well, healing from injuries, – Sport24 quotes Shlemenko.
