Coach Ramazan Ismailov praised the level of the fighter Anatoly Tokov with whom his ward Magomed Ismailov will fight.
Ismailov and Tokov will fight in the ASA promotional tournament on March 12.
“We were aiming for this confrontation. This revenge was always on my mind, and the opportunity presented itself. And while this mess with Bellator is happening, the ASA, led by Mairbek Khaysiev and Aslanbek Badaev, has presented us with just such a showdown. They are interested in this fight. Anatoly Tokov is famous not only in Russia, but also around the world. And Magomed Ismailov is a media personality. There will be a long-awaited rematch. A rematch with Shlemenko and Mineev is also important for us.
Tokov is a world-class fighter. Bellator is a serious organization. There are no whips there. Also, Anatoly is training in the highlands, so I think this will be the best version of Anatoly Tokov possible. Additionally, Fedor and Rasul Magomedaliev will train with him. This mixture is dangerous! In this form, Tokov can claim the UFC belt,” Ismailov said according to Sport24.
Ismailov is 37 years old, during his MMA career he won 18 victories, suffered three defeats and one fight ended in a draw. Tokov, 33, has 30 wins and three losses.
