ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev spoke in a conversation with about working with Tajikistan fans to avoid the repetition of conflict situations at tournaments.
Russian fighter Mikhail Mokhnatkin was pelted with bottles on Sunday after his fight with Faridun Odilov of Tajikistan at the ACA 168 tournament in Moscow. Odilov later apologized for his fans’ behavior.
— Regarding the behavior of Tajikistan fans, we need to look at the situation from all angles. The most positive thing is that Tajikistan fans greatly support their fighters and create an incredible atmosphere in the arena. Sometimes emotions take over and some people indulge in blatantly illegal actions that leave a bad aftertaste and impression. Yesterday’s situation with the bottles was as unpleasant as possible: one of them passed in front of me. I would like the support to take place in a civilized manner. We will think about how to handle this, we will communicate with opinion leaders who will be responsible for everyone. It’s unpleasant, such a tournament, such emotions, and all of this is ruined by the actions of certain individuals. Once your actions start to affect everyone, you need to do something. Before the next tournaments in Moscow, we will definitely hold a meeting with all arena services, we will think about how to take control of the situation, so that if something happens, the reaction will be faster and the culprits be punished. Badaev told .
ACA tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”.
