“Smells like bullshit,” Gadzhiev said, summarizing the week on his Youtube channel. “Sanya is actually a good, kind person, but we should have put it a little differently here, because for the world community we are all Russians, all Russians.”
“We can’t force Povetkin to cheer for Islam Makhachev, but Sanya should be aware that he is an opinion leader, many people are guided by him, and that’s why every word he says, as we see, is spread and criticized somewhere, and somewhere on the contrary, delighted. Here, of course, there will be more criticism
“In a word, Sanya Povetkin expressed himself crookedly, in my opinion, but at the same time we should make a discount, because I know him as a good, kind, positive person. He just said what he thinks, but he didn’t take into account the fact that a lot of people are oriented towards him”
As a reminder, Islam Makhachev is currently completing preparations for a title rematch against Brazilian Charles Oliveira to headline UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi on October 21.
