The ASA League does not conduct any negotiations with the Russian fighter Edouard Vartanian . The league vice-president told .
During his MMA career, Vartanyan had 25 victories with four defeats; the 32-year-old Russian has won his last eight fights. After completing the ACA Grand Prix, Vartanyan received improved conditions from the organization, in which he could earn up to a million dollars for three fights. The fighter declined because he would like to try to sign a contract with the UFC. Vartanyan will fight his next fight under K-1 rules in the “Our Business” promotion against Damir Ismagulov in early March.
— There is no dialogue with Vartanyan yet. We didn’t agree before; for the first time after the end of his contract, there were only friendly correspondences. No more. He has a fight coming up in another promotion. Additionally, we have a feeling he will try to sign with the UFC. Probably, after unsuccessful attempts, he will come back to us and we will continue the dialogue. We have said several times, and I repeat it now, that the dialogue will no longer take place on the terms we had proposed. Edik believes that his relevance has not passed. And we believe that its relevance to the ASA League is no longer what it was after the victory over Reznikov. Accordingly, the offer will be different,” Badaev told .
The ASA 170 tournament will be broadcast live on the channel, broadcasting will begin at 9:00 p.m. Moscow time, and on Match! Fighter” – from 19:25 Moscow time. Russian heavyweights Evgeny Goncharov and Dmitry Kudryashov will meet in the main fight.
