Russian Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Vitaly Slipenko said the height advantage could bring him success in a duel against compatriot Murad Abdulaev.
The welterweight bout between Slipenko and Abdulaev will headline the ACA 145 tournament, which will be held Friday in St. Petersburg and will be broadcast live on . Former ASA champion Abdulaev has 20 wins and six losses, Slipenko has 14 wins and four losses. Slipenko is almost 8 cm taller than Abdulaev.
– It will be a game of chess in a percussion style. He throws punches from different angles, and I’m not a standard fighter. Whose tactic will work best he will win, mine should bring victory. The coach and I have been on the same wavelength for a long time, we are like creative people, we have a training plan, but we can add something to it during the preparation. There is nothing like it strictly requires something, we are in harmony.
The height difference is essential. If I use it correctly, it can be the key to victory.
We’re holding up pretty well. Most likely, the fight will last every 25 minutes. If there is an option to end the fight early, it will be done. Mom has a birthday on September 23, she should have a present.
Future plans? Championship ambitions, I’ll listen to the title, – said Slipenko on the show “All for the match!” on the channel.
The fight between Slipenko and Russian Chersi Dudayev has been repeatedly called off.
– I’m not a fan of rematches, but we shook up this fight, I wanted to decide and close the subject. The last time I was told there would be no fight, I thought it was a joke. The dish was hot and already cold. I think the fight will definitely not happen next year,” Slipenko said.
