UFC fighter Nikita Krylov who knocked out a former UFC title contender Alexander Gustafsson , in an interview with , he talked about the characteristics of entering this fight. The fight took place in London during UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinal.
– In this fight, for the first time, I did not tape my hands – I asked to apply tapes only to the thumb and hand, – said Krylov. – Actually, I’m rather uncomfortable in teips, but I thought it was necessary. And during the last tournament in London, I saw that Gunnar Nelson was fighting without any registration. Clearly he needs it, as he’s a wrestler, but I’m not too worried about my hands – I don’t have any issues with my hand bones thanks to Kyokushin. I took gloves one size smaller, usually I wore XXXL, this time I chose XXL, and I really liked it: it’s easier to clench your fist and hit harder at the gradually.
– You hit with a blow, which, in principle, followed a strange trajectory, you can talk about it.
– In training, I often hit him as a direct hit. That is, they grabbed the leg, I pulled it towards me and hit it with my fist towards me. And here his right hand was up, and I saw a gap in the bottom block and realized I could hit an uppercut. Roma Rem Digga wrote to me: “Uppercut on one leg is a gun.
