— You gave a public response to Misha Mavashi, you talked about going into battle to the song SHAMAN, you talked about the fact that the Slavs are not so willing to engage in martial arts and people do not should not interfere with your religion… What do you think resonated the most?
— I don’t really read the comments. Now that I’ve turned off social media notifications, I don’t go to any public pages. I keep a little distance from that. I don’t know… It seems to me that all of this happened at some point. First, that he came out with a song like that, then something else. We had no conflicts with Misha Mavashi. I just don’t understand people who start talking like that, without knowing me or the situation. Why are you talking if you don’t know anything, right? I’m not talking about an Aunt Sveta that I don’t know.
— Should the fact that you are fighting during Ramadan say anything to people who think you converted to Islam?
– No, I think you shouldn’t. That’s not an answer. In fact, we didn’t want to fight at all at that moment, because Hasanali (Gasanaliev, Dudakova’s coach – editor’s note from ) is in the position. And, therefore, it is very difficult for him. But that’s how the circumstances played out. We wanted a fight on March 2 or 9. Around the ninth, they immediately told us that it wouldn’t work, because it was a numbers tournament and I didn’t make the weight last time. We thought the deadline was March 16. As a result, they simply send us a rival and a date – March 30. And we were like, “Well, okay. »
– But are you preparing as usual for this fight?
– Yes as usual. We arrived in Miami six weeks early, all our main training took place there,” Victoria Dudakova told .
The 25-year-old athlete previously practiced swimming in Volgograd, but then switched to mixed martial arts and made her debut in the UFC in 2023. Dudakova’s statistics in MMA are 8 victories in 8 professional fights .
