Fighter competing in the category up to 77 kg Andrei Koreshkov in an interview with commented on the fight between Alexander Volkov And Sergei Pavlovich and also remembers how he fought with Volkov several years ago.
Russians Volkov and Pavlovich, who compete in the UFC heavyweight division, fought on June 22 in Saudi Arabia. Volkov defeated Pavlovich by unanimous decision. Long before joining the UFC, Volkov and Koreshkov, who plays in the PFL league, represented the Rusfighters team and held joint training camps in the United States.
— Sergei Pavlovich pushed Alexander Volkov after the fight. Don’t you think that in the first 30 seconds after a fight, everything is emotional, you shouldn’t take such things too seriously?
– Everything is individual. There are people whose eyes are bloodshot and who cannot control themselves. There are those who are simpler and calmer about it. His emotions are understandable: he lost in a fight that, in his opinion, he should have won. I was very upset. I saw somewhere an interview in which Sergei said that Alexander did not act very well. Maybe there is something personal there.
“They don’t seem to understand each other’s jokes.”
— Well, Alexander Volkov has a special sense of humor. I know him, I remember how we played together at the Bellator Grand Prix in the same season. And they lived in adjacent rooms in America for three months. He has a sense of humor that not everyone understands. I just have friends around, more or less, with the same sense of humor, so I understood it.
— Have you fought at least once, knowing that he is 20 cm taller?
“Once I tried to train with him, but it didn’t work out.” He is really very big. Arms are long, legs are long, kicks are very heavy. Legs are so strong, and he hits with these types of fingers (accent on the last syllable, direct kick to the body. – ) as if he immediately breaks your ribs. It is clear that we did not fight, but during training it so happened that he was without a partner, I was without a partner, so what to do? We got up to work together. But that was a long time ago, about ten years ago,” Koreshkov told .
