— Now I live in a rented apartment, I lived there all the time while I was in rehabilitation after an injury, doing housework. But first I had a conflict with one tenant, now a conflict with another tenant, and because of these conflicts I was asked to leave. They let me live for a week, until I played in the tournament in Texas. There, I’m going to fight in jiu-jitsu to at least win something. After returning from Texas, I will be homeless, and for the remaining week here I need to prepare somehow so that I can at least earn something. I worked as security at different clubs, but now I’ve given it up to focus on preparing for a UFC fight (Agapova has a fight announced in the July 13 tournament against Luana Santos. – ), and I live on donations from subscribers, which are all. They send me less and less money. “I will try to earn money for my camp before the fight, because no one can lend me money, sponsors stop believing in me and leave, I have huge debts and I have to win at least something,” Agapova told Match. TV.
