Russian sports manager Aslanbek Badaev, in a conversation with , said that in the event of a fight with the sports director of the Our Deal league, Armen Gulyan, he would insist on refusing painful holds on the legs.
Previously, Gulyan said on the Telegram channel that he would consider the possibility of waging a fight against ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev. Badaev, 36, retired from MMA in 2016 after two fights, but regularly competes in amateur grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
— What is Armen Ghulyan’s main danger?
— The fact is that he is a basic sambo wrestler, he gets up very well and does crunches with his heels. Generally speaking, I think the heel twist isn’t quite right; In many federations, heel twisting in tournaments is prohibited up to the black belt level. It seems to me that it’s not really about skills and abilities, but just about causing damage. This is exactly why Armen Ghulyan is dangerous, he is the one who works well on heels. And if we fight, I will insist that [скручивания] there were no heels. If you jam your heel, you can’t stop typing, you’ll just end up with torn ligaments.
— Is an amount between several hundred thousand rubles and a million rubles enough?
– No, because Armen would be a more dangerous opponent, and the fight would not be as high-profile. Fighting the most dangerous Gulyan for less money, and at the same time the media exposure will be an order of magnitude less? So such a sum would not suit me. I think there would be no point,” Badaev told .
