Russian MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko will not enter into a duel against a compatriot Magomed Ismailov and won’t fight anyone at all, says AMC Fight Nights Welterweight Champion Dmitry Bikrev.
The Shlemenko-Ismailov fight was supposed to take place in August in Yekaterinburg during the RCC 12 tournament, but in the end, the fighters will not enter the cage until December. The decision to postpone the date of the fight became known on July 12.
– I said six months ago that I did not believe in any of the fights: neither in Shlemenko – Odilov, nor in his fight with Maga, nor in the fight with Mineev. Sasha won’t fight anyone. There was a story that he was offered fights with me, Odilov, Maga and Mineev. Of all these four, we offered him the most comfortable conditions: a fight for a belt, an intermediate category of 81 kg, because Sasha does not know how to drive weight, a lot of money. I am the smallest of the four – Vova, Odilov and Maga weigh a hundred square meters, Sasha does not weigh that much. But he did not even accept me, after which I realized that he would not fight with these three comrades.
Start some stories: “Why do I need this?”. They tell him, “If you’re fighting for the Fight Nights belt, that’s cool.” Especially at his age at the end of his career. It is clear that there are more advantages for me, because they will talk more about me than about Sasha. But he did not agree, – quotes the words of Bikrev “RB Sport”.
Earlier, reported that despite the postponement of the fight with Ismailov, Shlemenko will still perform in Yekaterinburg at the RCC 12 tournament. His opponent is still unknown but will be announced in the near future. Immediately after the fight in Yekaterinburg, Storm will fight in his native Omsk.
