Russian heavyweight Muhumat Vakhaev, who is to share the cage with compatriot Grigory Ponomarev in the ACA Grand Prix quarterfinal match, doesn’t think the former AMC Fight Nights champion, making his debut in the organization, will stand against him all five rounds.
“This is my luck – Ponomarev is a very convenient opponent for me in all aspects,” Vakhaev said in an interview with the channel “Ushatayka”. “Functionally, in striking technique, in wrestling. He is not a fighter – he is a bag. Yes, he will get dirty, he will be physically very powerful, but I’m ready.
“There is no underestimation, because we go into the cage for five rounds. The fight will not be easy, but I will drive him to the right place ahead of schedule. Maybe everything will end even in the first round. Big tree falls loudly
“He said that the first fight in the ACA will be with his wife. I will feel sorry for her. I don’t want to offend women.”
Recall that the fight between Mukhumat Vakhaev and Grigory Ponomarev will take place on July 21 at the ACA 160 tournament in Sochi.
