Russian fighter Alexei Oleynik spoke about his attitude towards signing Magomed Ismailov contract for a fight in the ACA tournament.
On the evening of January 12, the ASA League announced the signing of a contract with Ismailov (18-3-1 in MMA), and on January 14 it became known that his opponent would be Anatoly Tokov (29-3).
“I don’t know who he’s more interested in, but many viewers would probably be interested in seeing his rematch with Alexander Shlemenko. Two such competitive and strong fighters, not publicized, but real, with good technique and big names. For most fans, in terms of sports, this fight would be the most interesting. You can also bring a strong stranger and fight with him. Why constantly force them to sort out their relationships with each other? — Metaratings.ru quotes Oleinik as saying.
Ismailov is one of the most popular and highest paid fighters in Russia. The middleweight fought his last fight under MMA rules in December 2022, defeating Alexander Shlemenko in a five-round showdown. Ismailov, 37, also regularly performs under the rules of professional grappling and boxing.
