Russians to fight in welterweight championship Rinat Fakhretdinov and the representative of Uzbekistan Nursulton Ruziboev will take place on October 26 as part of the UFC 308 tournament in Abu Dhabi, the Sherdog portal reports.
The Russian fighter confirmed the fight against Ruziboev on his social media.
– Know that Nursulton and I were against this fight. This fight does not benefit anyone, I will say this, we did everything possible to prevent this fight from taking place, but we are only fighters, the last word always belongs to the leadership of the league, so there is no point in throwing stones at us, the circumstances have developed this way. The league decided for us. But nothing changes, since we were friends with Nursulton, we will continue to be friends, and after the fight I will come to visit him for pilaf (I hope he will invite him), – Fakhretdinov wrote.
Fakhretdinov, 32, has 22 MMA wins with one loss and one draw. Ruziboev, 30, has 34 wins, 9 losses, 2 draws and 2 other fights were declared invalid.
