Russian UFC fighter Charabutdin Magomedov known as Shara Bullet, said he is not worried that his new opponent Antonio Trocoli will not have time to lose weight before the fight.
33-year-old Brazilian Antonio Trocoli flew to Saudi Arabia the day before the weigh-in to fight Magomedov. Trocoli will replace the suspended Joylton Lutterbach, who was originally scheduled to fight Magomedov but failed a doping test.
Trocoli managed to lose 7 kg overnight and showed the required 84 kg on the scales with a height of 195 cm.
“We haven’t prepared for such a high opponent, but we fighters have to be ready for anything, we have already started stretching.”
— Were you afraid that your opponent would have time to gain weight?
– No, I wasn’t worried. Even if he hadn’t gained weight, I wouldn’t have refused, because so many people came to support me, I didn’t need his fee either, I was just going to fight,” reports the correspondent.
