Alexander Skaredin, manager of the fighter Sergei Bilostenny told that he did not understand the negative attitude of the Russian public towards fights between Russian athletes.
Bilostenny will face his compatriot Denis Goltsov during a tournament in Uncasville (USA). The fighters participate in the PFL League Grand Prix, their fight in the second stage of the group stage is scheduled for June 14. After the first round, Goltsov is fourth with four points, Bilostenny fifth with three points thanks to his decisive victory over Blagoy Ivanov. Four of the 12 fighters with the most points will advance to the knockout tournament.
— The opponent’s passport is not a determining factor for a fighter in our team. Everyone perceives strangely that the Russians are fighting. Yes, we should be proud of this, because Russian fighters are at such a high international level and in such large numbers that to determine the strongest, they must conduct face-to-face fights. In my entire career in this industry, I have never seen an American refuse to fight an American, nor a Brazilian refuse to fight a Brazilian. It seems to me that such an attitude is purely our problem,” Skaredin told .
— Will Goltsov be the most serious opponent in Bilostenny’s career?
– Good question. I wouldn’t say it will be the most serious. It’s a big call. Goltsov fought with Mukhumat Vakhaev, Seryoga fought two fights with Vakhaev.
