Russian heavyweight Denis Goltsov There’s always something missing when competing in the PFL league, the Fight Nights welterweight champion tells Dmitry Bikrev .
On Saturday night in the United States, Goltsov lost in the first round to Brazilian Renan Ferreira in the PFL Grand Prix final in the heavyweight division. The Russian fighter has 32 victories and eight defeats. Goltsov has been playing in the PFL since the summer of 2019 and in the championship he has 10 wins and three losses.
— I was very upset by Goltsov’s defeat, he has catastrophic luck in the PFL. There was one stage left – the final – and one such mistake. I sincerely wish not to give up and not lose confidence in myself. With all my heart for him! – Bikrev told .
Another Russian, Magomed Magomedkerimov, defeated Swede Sadiba Sy in the third round and won the PFL Welterweight Grand Prix, earning $1 million for winning the tournament. Immediately after the fight, a meeting between Magomedkerimov and Bellator champion Jason Jackson was announced. The fight is scheduled for February 2024. Magomedkerimov won the PFL Grand Prix in 2018.
— Magomedkerimov is a very strong welterweight. They will have a very good fight with Jackson. Jackson surprised me a lot with his fight with Yaroslav Amosov (Jackson inflicted the first defeat of his career on Amosov and won the Bellator belt, before Amosov had a record of 27-0 – “”). A person hits, defends himself from the fight and fights. Cool mate. We will see,” added Bikrev.
It was previously announced that the PFL would purchase Bellator.
