Russian coach Nikita Krylov Alexander Skaredin told that the fighter’s team hopes to win the fight with his compatriot Azamat Murzakanov .
On Monday, it was announced that Krylov, 32, and Murzakanov, 35, will meet on November 17 in New York at UFC 309.
— Nikita Krylov, I am not afraid of this word, a UFC veteran. This will be his 19th fight in the championship. Nikita simply has a huge experience. If you evaluate the sports results and look at the ratings, then Krylov is above Rowntree, who had a chance to fight for the title. Nikita and his coaching staff are simply excellent in developing fight tactics. So there is no worry about the result. The only thing is that we must be sure that his camp will go as it should. And that is what we are doing now.
Regarding downtime… Professionals at this level don’t have the concept of “rust”. On the contrary, you can be even better prepared to solve a specific problem.
Murzakanov is a top-level striker, he is a sensitive fighter. And his main advantage is that he is on the rise, he is confident in himself. And this is his main danger. At the same time, Azamat looks on paper like an ideal fighter in terms of amateur record and badges. But this is professional MMA, and there are keys for every fighter. This is what our headquarters is doing now. A difficult fight awaits us, but we are counting on Nikita’s well-deserved victory, “Skaradin told .
Krylov is riding a three-fight winning streak, ranking seventh in the light heavyweight rankings, but has not competed since March 2023. Murzakanov is undefeated in his professional career and enters the UFC on a four-fight winning streak after his debut in March 2022. The athlete is ranked No. 11 in the rankings.
