ASA Heavyweight Champion MMA Fighter Yevgeny Goncharov told that he dreams of fighting at the Rostov Arena and also wants to play for Rostov in one of the matches.
Rostov will play at home against Dynamo Makhachkala in the ninth round of the MIR RPL on September 22. Before the match, the press service of the Rostov club published a video with the participation of team captain Danil Glebov and Goncharov.
— Those who do not know that Glebov is a football player can easily mistake him for a fighter. Is Danil able to prove himself in your sport?
– He is able to prove himself. He is a high-level professional athlete. He has a certain foundation laid since childhood. Danil is doing very well, he is 24 years old, he is the captain of the team – it is very cool, a great achievement.
— Have you discussed with him the possibility of conducting joint training in a cage?
– Maybe. I think we’ll find time to talk. On Sunday I’ll arrive early at the stadium, if possible, I’ll go see the guys in the locker room and wish them victory.
— Do you want to fight at the Rostov Arena one day?
– This is my dream. One of them. It would be really cool. Unfortunately, the ASA does not hold tournaments in Rostov-on-Don because there is no arena. And the football stadium is too big to host a tournament there. There are many nuances.
— Maybe an exhibition fight during the break of a football match?
– Ha-ha! Right on the field! It would be much more interesting for me to try myself in a Rostov T-shirt, boots and with a ball.
— Maybe Valery Karpin will invite you to a friendly match.
“I’m afraid my dimensions and weight class are not quite right for a football player.”
— Alexander Ovechkin looked decent in the match for Dynamo: he scored a goal and took his opponent off the field after a duel.
– Yes, there was such a moment. So it would be interesting to play football, – Goncharov told .
