UFC fighter Irina Alekseeva in an interview with , she explained why she did not use force during a dispute with a man in the parking lot near her own home.
Russian Alekseeva, who participates in the UFC, published on her social networks a video of a conflict with a motorist, who first cut off the life of a girl with her friend, then insulted her and said he would not apologize for his actions. On Tuesday morning, it became known that the culprit had been arrested, and Alekseeva was invited to the Chelyabinsk police station to testify.
As Alekseeva herself reported, as a result of the proceedings, a man named Islomiddin, born in 1999, originally from Tajikistan, will have to pay a small fine and will be deported from Russia.
— Some time ago, you commented on our website about the conflict between a girl and a man who pushed her while jogging, and you said that you would have pulled her instead. Can you explain why you haven’t started fighting now (Alekseeva is world champion in sambo, her MMA statistics are 5 wins, 2 losses – approximately “)”?
“He was the one who put him in touch first.” That’s what I said then. Nobody hit me here. And as a result, I didn’t respond. And I don’t want to be the first to get my hands dirty so they stink later. But it was very difficult to do that, I was shaking all over there, I’m standing there, and I’m just shaking, and at the same time my head works very well, and I continue to speak, but in a shaky voice . Of course, not because I’m afraid of him, but because I’m stressed.
“And I remember you said that after all, a man is genetically stronger than a woman.” Did you even imagine that you would have to fight?
“I thought that now if he comes out and hits me, then I will beat him until the last moment until he loses consciousness, or I will try to strangle him, break his hand.” But again, we must not forget that such street fights are like a lottery, if it comes out of your ass, you can even collapse.
-Why do you think the man who told you he didn’t apologize to the girls apologized to the police 48 hours later?
– Yes, because they are glasses, he saw perfectly that I was a girl, and decided to get to the bottom of things. And to the police, he was particularly afraid, and that’s why he apologized, because it’s ethnic hatred on his part, incitement, and it’s actually a very harsh article according to our laws.
— He should be expelled from Russia. Are you satisfied with the result?
– You know, honestly, I’m actually shocked that everything happened so quickly, and I’m incredibly happy about it. I am glad that our Investigative Committee, the Ministry of the Interior and our public pages broadcast everything and did not stand aside. On the 21st, when I posted it as a story, a lot of people looked at it and didn’t care. And now, thanks to joint efforts, we have achieved all this,” Alekseeva told .
