Coach Ramazan Ismailov explained why the Russian fighter Edouard Vartanian unable to agree on transfer to CFU .
Previously, Vartanyan had repeatedly considered the possibility of joining the UFC. On June 16 of that year, he won the ACA Lightweight Grand Prix and turned down the improved terms of a new contract to continue his career abroad.
— The UFC does not want to see many fighters from the post-Soviet space. They have their own policy. There are too many fighters from CIS countries. For them, Islam Makhachev, Arman Tsarukyan and Rafael Fiziev are all Russians. If you accept all the guys in a row, not even half, but 70 percent of the fighters will be from the CIS. It will be a Russian promotion.
It would be funny if Shovkhal Churchchaev got there instead of Eduard. But Vartanyan deserves to fight in the UFC. He won’t get lost in the peaks. ACA is one of the strongest leagues in the world, the second in competition,” Metaratings.ru quotes Ismailov.
All UFC and ACA tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
