Reigning AMC Fight Nights champion Vagab Vagabov, who hasn’t pleased his fans with fights for a long time, spent the last six months in the zone of special military operation, having signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation as a volunteer.
“I have been in the zone of special military operation for six months, and at the moment I am at home on vacation,” the Russian fighter said in an interview with the channel “Ushataika”. “I’m a volunteer, I have a contract with the Ministry of Defense, the “Wild Division of Donbass”, the battalion “Arbat”. I’ve been there for six months, I just didn’t advertise it. There was no time for media. And when you are there, there is no constant communication, and we spend a lot of time on the road. It used to be for a day on 1000-1200 km passed”
Vagabov plans to use his vacation to prepare for his kickboxing bout against Ivan Shtyrkov, which was announced last week.
“I remain the AMC Fight Nights champion, I will never and never give that belt to anyone, but I put my MMA career on a big pause for now. I thought I was going to fight Ivan Shtyrkov under boxing rules, but in the end we agreed to have a kickboxing match. I’ll jump out in my own style and punch as usual. I haven’t fought for a long time. Frankly speaking, I have a great desire to catch this atmosphere”
Recall that the fight between Ivan Shtyrkov and Vagab Vagabov will be the main event of the RCC 18 tournament, which will be held on February 24 in Tyumen.
