Former Bellator middleweight title challenger Anatoly Tokov disappointed with the cancellation of the fight with Magomed Ismailov .
Ismailov and Tokov were supposed to fight on March 9 at the ASA 172 tournament. The fight was supposed to be a rematch after the fight that took place at the M-1 promotion tournament in 2013. As reported in the ASA League, Ismailov declined the fight due to injury.
“Yesterday our director Denis Kurilov called and said: “Tolik, the fight is canceled. Ismailov was injured. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement as the camp was coming to an end. I followed very serious training. It’s hard to find words to describe how upset I am. But that’s okay.
I asked Kurilov if it was possible to find a replacement for Magomed. I understand that it is difficult to lose weight in a short time. It would be possible to fight between 86 and 90 kg. If the opportunity arises to participate in the tournament on March 9, I will do it with great pleasure,” Tokova said according to RT.
