“I didn’t even doubt that they would give the contract” – Koreshkov about Pulyaev’s performance on the Dana White show

Russian fighter Andrei Koreshkov, who assisted Andrei Puliaev During a performance at the Dana White Contender Series, he commented on on Dana White’s reaction to the Russian’s fight and the offer of a contract with the UFC.

The former Bellator welterweight champion was Pulyaev’s cornerman in his fight in Las Vegas on August 27 against Liam Anderson. Pulyaev won by unanimous decision and got the opportunity to compete in the UFC. As the athlete himself has already told , he could make his UFC debut before the end of this year.

— Did you have any doubts about whether Dana White would give him a contract with the UFC? It is believed that to get a contract you have to win earlier than expected, but Andrei did not succeed.

“I had no doubt that they would give me the contract.” Because the victory was spectacular. And that’s what happened.

— White noted that Pulyaev worked very competently even in small things. For example, he struck a low kick immediately as soon as the opponent changed position.

– Yes, I heard that. It’s great that he noted it, because we paid attention to all these points during preparation. Take the same low kick. I watched the fights of Andrei’s opponent and saw that he changed stance and then tried to kick with his left foot. Therefore, Andrey and I understood that when changing stance, the opponent would immediately receive a low kick. In fact, at Storm, we did a lot of work for this fight, analyzing his opponent in detail. Much attention was paid to protection against transfers and work against the wall. And everything worked. Alexander Shlemenko called right before the fight and said: “Kick to the liver. Do a lot.” And the opponent felt it himself. Shlemenko said happily after the fight. He has known Andryukha for a long time – and he is humanly happy for him, like all of us,” Koreshkov told .
