— Do you remember the conflict with Goncharov in the studio? Is it possible to repeat?
— There are no problems with Kurban as with Goncharov. Besides, I didn’t know Goncharov at all, but we know Kurban. So there is no such conflict. We need to make weight and show the fight in the cage.
— How did you feel when you learned that your fight would be the main fight of the evening at ACA 172?
— It’s a responsibility to the league. You also have to show a good fight so as not to disappoint the league. We are both drummers, I think that’s why our fight became the main event, because it will be interesting in terms of audience sympathy. I think it will be a great fight.
– Give a description of your opponent.
– Anything can happen in combat. Kurban is good in terms of everything. Striking technique, wrestling, grappling, he has it all.
— Do you want to go to the final with Omarov?
“I want revenge for losing to him.” But before me is my opponent from March 9. You have to go through Kurban first, then think about Islam. I don’t think Kurban is weaker than Islam. “I take the upcoming fight very seriously,” Tumenov said on .
