ASA Middleweight Grand Prix Finalist Shamil Abdulayev who is recovering from injury, told that he would be ready to play a decisive match against the league champion. Magomedrasula Hasanova in January next year.
Abdulaev, 34, has 15 victories and one defeat. In his last fight in February, he beat Abdul-Rakhman Dzhanaev ahead of schedule. Hasanov has 20 wins and two losses in MMA. His semi-final match with Ibragim Magomedov took place in late February. The ASA Middleweight Grand Prix Final was scheduled to take place on September 8 in Krasnodar, but Abdulaev was injured.
— In February we reached the final, we spent six months preparing for this fight. A lot of effort and money went into making this fight happen. I have repeatedly said that conditions were created on my part to minimize injuries, but that’s how it happened… I understand (the opponent’s) desire. Being at the top of your game, no one wants to waste time, but wants to fight. No athlete wants that. But neither Tokov, nor Shlemenko, nor Frolov, nor others are Grand Prix finalists. I have said it several times. I really hope that the league will make a fair decision and organize our fight in the Grand Prix Final. I am in rehabilitation and starting light training. Next month I will start normal training, by January I will be ready. January is the date for me and for the health workers who supervise me. This is the most recent date,” Abdulaev told .
All ASA tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”.
