Kamil Hajiyev: “MMA is a sport for the marginalized. So it was, is and will be”

President of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadzhiev, in an interview with journalists at the MMA tournament in memory of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov in Saratov, gave a social assessment of the popularity of mixed martial arts.

– Do you have the feeling that by the end of the year in MMA there was a bit too much of this – “general”, “household team”, “what suit”, “what wool”?

– Let’s do this: MMA is still a sport for the marginalized. So it was, is and will be. And let no one be upset, because last time, when they heard the word “outcasts”, everyone attacked me. Firstly, I myself went in for sports, and this is not MMA in its purest form, but in the form in which it existed before.

Secondly, I have been doing this on a professional level for 11 years, and I do it consciously. But this jargon is quite acceptable, quite understandable. I do not get much pleasure from the fact that the conversation is in such slang, as well as from those conversations that go between Arthur Huseynov and Sasha Emelianenko. There is a little bit not a prison theme, but more like this … Not at all. Will it get smaller or not? I think it will, because neither one nor the other approach was successful. Vagab Vagabov, in principle, achieved nothing by starting to swing in this direction, and AE [Александр Емельяненко] Nothing was achieved with Arthur either.
