Mixed martial arts fighter Vitaly Minakov told how he conducted several wrestling training sessions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Minakov is a four-time world sambo champion. The 39-year-old fighter became the AMC Fight Nights and Bellator heavyweight champion.
— One of the latest news with your name sounds like this: “Putin has a very good sambo technique. » Can you describe what training looks like when the president of the country appears on the mat? What’s going on there?
“This has happened more than once, maybe twice. Vladimir Vladimirovich – president of sports. I know he stays in shape and works out, although I’ve heard a lot about his schedule.
As for wrestling skills, he has some very good ones. At the time I saw this, he was trying something in different wrestling directions. There were joint workouts with free wrestlers and he tried to throw himself on the chest. I saw it with my own eyes. I didn’t think he would dare to do that. He came, he tried, they showed him the throw and he played it. Even though this technique seems simple, in addition to technique, you need to have strength and explosiveness to throw. And he coped with that,” Minakov told .
