Kazakh light fighter Artem Reznikov showed reporters how much money he was willing to bet to win Alexander Sarnavsky in a title fight with Magomed Soulumov .
Earlier, Reznikov and AMC Fight Nights league chief Kamil Gadzhiev bet $10,000 on the outcome of the lightweight title fight between Sarnavsky and Sulumov. The fight will take place Friday at the AMC Fight Nights 123 tournament in Moscow. Reznikov is Sarnavsky’s friend, training partner and second in command.
— Did you bring money to talk to Kamil?
– Yes, I took it with me (the spell from the bag) so that there would be no questions. I’ll put it on tomorrow. If you say it, you have to do it. I don’t think Kamil will agree, because Sanya is the favorite for the fight.
— What confidence do you have in Alexander?
– Alexandre is physically strong, and I don’t see how Maga can take him. He won’t stand him up, he won’t put him on the ground. I specifically watched his fights. I think since Kamil argued that means there is something. As Sulumov said to himself, a little bit of everything. If he thinks he can take Sarnavsky (because of) IQ, then he’s not the fighter who can be taken that way.
—Where will you spend your money if you win?
— After each fight, I try to give about ten thousand to the boys in the gym. Some a thousand, some a thousand and a half. And now, maybe I will do the same thing,” Reznikov told .
