Russian fighter Uzair Abdourakov On he explained why he did not hit his compatriot Anatoly Boyko in the face during the battle, although he had such an opportunity.
On Friday, in the co-main event of the ACA 178 tournament in Moscow, a fight took place between welterweights Abdurakov and Boyko. Abdurakov won by technical knockout in the second round.
“In the first exchange, he hit me in the eye with a blow, the opponent split in two, he was on my left and my right. I thought I was floating.
At one point I felt like blowing my nose and I felt my eye starting to swell. And after another exchange, the blood flowed and I realized that everything was back to normal. I didn’t rush things and tried to recover.
I hit as if with the left hand, the opponent fell. His legs relaxed. There was a moment when I could have hit the face, but I considered it necessary to hit the block because it was no longer there. Mutual respect with him pushed me to hit like that.
“I didn’t even know my leg was injured. I moved up the ladder and felt there was a problem,” Abdurakov told .
Abdurakov has 19 wins, losses and a draw, Boyko has 10 wins and three losses in MMA.
