Manager of the AMC Fight Nights League Kamil Gadjiev told that the Russian fighter Edouard Vartanian It’s worth trying to sign with the PFL.
Vartanyan, 32, won the ACA Lightweight Grand Prix in June and is on an eight-fight winning streak. The fighter refused to renew his contract with the Russian promotion, despite potentially charging over a hundred thousand dollars for the first fight under the new deal. Vartanyan said that instead of signing with the ACA, he would try to negotiate with the UFC after a personal visit to the United States.
— Do you think Eduard Vartanyan will be able to compete in the UFC in 2024?
“It seems to me that this story has reached an impasse. I would advise him to try to develop in the PFL, in this new league that appeared after the merger. There is Usman Nurmagomedov, there is Sanya Shabliy, I honestly don’t remember who is the winner of the Lightweight Grand Prix now. Edik would fit in there perfectly, but there is one “but”: do they need him if Russian hegemony begins in this weight category? There are too many representatives from one country, given that they are not yet planning to expand into the Russian market, Gadjiev told .
