— Roman Dolidze has good leg locks, have you called anyone to prepare for them?
— Yes, a person came to our gym who is good at this, and in principle I prepared specifically for Roman. Boxers and those who are seriously involved in boxing also came to our gym. The Bouafia brothers helped us (Soheb Bouafia is a member of the French boxing team), and we fought.
— You are often advised to go and train in Dagestan. What’s stopping you from doing that?
“Actually, there are just fights very often, and that’s why I try to do my training where I’m used to. And so, I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time. If I had to choose a gym, I would go to Dagfighter. This is the place where I would spend my training camp,” Imavov told .
