Mineev and Ismailov have already met twice in the cage. Their first fight, which took place in October 2018 at the Fight Nights Global 90 tournament, ended in a draw. The second fight took place in October 2021 at the AMC Fight Nights 105 tournament and ended with Mineev winning by technical knockout in the third round.
— What went wrong in the battle between Mineev and Ismailov?
– In my opinion, Magomed Ismailov simply did not prepare for this fight and started it badly. I gave Vova space, let him feel the distance and aim. Magi had the explosion, there was power, but he lost his mind, Vova aimed and started hitting. I immediately started to get nervous when Maga gave Vova the distance that suited him. At the end of the second round, I began to be very worried. And the third was already a failure. Everything was already visible there.
— How should Ismailov prepare?
“Unfortunately, during his two months of preparation, I was able to train with him only once. And then just passing through. We met in one of the gyms in Makhachkala. Of course, one fight will not do any good. He probably saw mistakes in it, given his advantages. But we did not have time to work on it. Here it was necessary to go out and strike, here it is not necessary to “quarrel” over points.
— How much time would you take to prepare Vladimir Mineev?
— I still train. Even if I don’t go to the gym, I still do some work, so 1-2 sparrings, and I’m already in the ranks, “Vagabov told .
