The head of the RCC, Nikolai Klimenko, in a conversation with , called Russian Valery Myasnikov the favorite in the fight with Belarusian Vladislav Kovalev, nicknamed Belaz.
The fight between Myasnikov and Kovalev will take place according to MMA rules only in a standing position and will lead the Ural FC 9 tournament, which will be held on November 22 in Nizhny Novgorod. Initially, Kovalev’s opponent was supposed to be Russian Vyacheslav Vasilevsky, but he injured his leg two weeks before the fight.
“I have respect for both athletes. Everyone has competed at the RCC, but objectively Valéry is a more technical athlete of a higher class. I think that if the fight had taken place with bare fists, the chances would have been equal, but with MMA gloves, it seems to me that boxing skills will not allow chance to change the outcome of the fight. Well, leaving at short notice will even benefit Valera. He has just had a superb fight, he came out unscathed and is even more confident in his abilities. In any case, we will see an interesting fight. “I will be happy to watch this fight,” Klimenko told .
Kovalev’s MMA statistics are five wins and two losses. Myasnikov has 16 wins with three losses and two draws.
