Former Bellator fighter and now sporting director of Ural FC Kirill Sidelnikov told that the Russian heavyweight Oleg Popov has phenomenal field work.
Popov will meet Russian Denis Goltsov in the PFL Heavyweight Grand Prix Final on November 29 in Riyadh. The statistics of Fedor Emelianenko Popov, who plays in the team, are 19 wins and one loss. Goltsov has 35 victories in MMA with eight defeats.
— From a sporting point of view, it’s a very interesting fight for me. I know them both very well. If Oleg Popov imposes his tactics, he will be able to achieve victory in a difficult five-round fight. How Oleg can control on the field… He’s one of the toughest opponents I’ve ever had to fight on the field. I guess the fight will be boring, there will be a lot of people lying on the ground. But for Oleg, it is a great chance and a great motivation; it makes no sense to take risks. And for Denis Goltsov, it’s another Grand Prix final, but he has never won before. If Dan manages to defend against passes and is able to impose work in a standing position, then the result could be disastrous for Oleg. In percentage terms, the chances are 50 to 50. It all depends on who manages to impose their work,” Sidelnikov told .
