Russian Anatoly Tokov will not take risks in a duel with a compatriot Alexander Shlemenko but will lead the fight in a calm manner. The fighter shared this opinion with Vyacheslav Vasilyevsky .
The fight between Tokov and Shlemenko will headline the RCC 21 tournament, which will take place on December 14 in Yekaterinburg. Before that, the fighters met in 2018 at the Bellator 208 tournament in New York, where Tokov won by unanimous decision. Shlemenko and Vasilevsky met twice in 2016, when Shlemenko was stronger.
—There was intrigue during the first battle. Sasha was younger. I don’t think Tolya is going to come out and knock him out now. I think Tolya doesn’t need it and won’t even try to do it. Tolya is an emotionless person. Sasha seems to be trying to annoy him, but it doesn’t work. Most likely we will have a fight similar to their fight in Bellator – Anatoly will have a tactical advantage. Most likely, the fight will last the entire distance and Tokov will gradually take the fight without taking any risks. Tolya has no reason to compete with Alexander Shlemenko. Tolya will not enter into the exchanges, but will take the fight sharply. He has enough skills for that,” Vasilevsky told .
