Freestyle wrestler Arthur Nayfonov spoke to about meeting a UFC fighter Nikita Krylov noting that he suggested she switch to mixed martial arts.
Previously, Krylov posted a photo on social networks with wrestlers Nayfonov and Zaurbek Sidakov, signing it with the words “extremely pleasant acquaintance.” In 2021, at the Tokyo Olympics, Naifonov won a bronze medal in the weight category up to 86 kg.
— UFC fighter Nikita Krylov told me that for his father, his fights are as if they were still neighborhood fights. That is, his father reacted in much the same way as he did to the news that Nikita had beaten someone’s sons.
“My father isn’t emotional either. He doesn’t show his emotions, but deep in his soul he is always very happy for me, I see it. I’m sure even now, sitting at home with friends, he is happy. This motivates me separately. And we recently met Nikita. Such a big and nice guy. He has drawn us into battles, but so far we resist.
“I was always surprised by the size of his fist…
– Yeah, that surprised me right away. When I greeted him, I noticed that his palm was so big! I immediately noticed how stocky he was. He then had a shoulder injury, I wrote to him on social networks so that he could cope with this severity. He seems to have a good spirit and a good attitude,” Nayfonov told .
Live broadcasts of mixed martial arts tournaments can be seen on and Match! Fighter”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
