Sports director of the “Our Cause” league Armen Gulyan revealed details of the “Our Cause” 84 tournament, the main event of which will be the championship match between Viktor Nemkov and Shamil Gamzatov.
The tournament will take place in St. Petersburg on June 12. On this day, the country celebrates Russia Day.
— What kind of tournament will it be?
— This tournament is already becoming traditional. Last year, on June 12, we already offered such a holiday to our St. Petersburg viewers. This year we repeat it. I hope we come back next time too.
It will be a very bright and interesting card. Famous athletes will meet in the main fight of the evening. We are proud to present this to you. But I also want to tell the public that in addition to this tournament, a real vacation awaits them on the site of the KSK Arena, where a sports festival with a strongman show, a world powerlifting championship will take place, as well as lots of different activities for the whole family. In addition, a big concert will take place at the Sibur Arena itself.
— How was the main fight of the evening organized?
— When Viktor Nemkov fought with us in March at a tournament in St. Petersburg, we immediately announced to the public that we wanted to return to their city with his fight. For Nemkov, St. Petersburg is an important city, because here he participated in M-1 tournaments and also won the title of champion of “Our Cause”. And we have been in contact with Shamil Gamzatov for a long time. We offered him a fight with Victor, and he accepted without hesitation. This fight will be very interesting stylistically. Not only is Shamil the world champion in MMA and jiu-jitsu, but he is also the champion of Dagestan in K-1. Viktor Nemkov, in addition to being Honored Master of Sports in combat sambo, likes to fight in a standing position and has a very good striking technique, he is also distinguished by very good grappling. We will witness a fight between two versatile, tough, very fast and technical players. This fight will definitely be one of the best.
— What will the format of the battle be?
– It will be a championship fight, five rounds of five minutes. But given the arsenal that the fighters have, I am not sure that it will last all five rounds, ”Gulyan said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match! on .
The “Our Cause” 84 tournament will be broadcast live on the channels (from 6:55 p.m. Moscow time) and Match! Fighter” (from 3:30 p.m. Moscow time), the broadcast will also be available on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
