Former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko said in an interview with SE that he and Magomed Ismailov will earn the biggest fees in their careers.
“You say that as if only I would have the biggest one,” Shlemenko replied smiling. “The magician, of course, will not tell, but I want to tell you that Maga also has the biggest fee in his life.”
“In Maga’s place, yes, no fighter would have refused there. He’s on a losing streak and he’s making the best money. Probably the biggest money in my life. In addition, he has an excellent opportunity to rehabilitate himself and return, and, instead of me, again try to fight Vova [Минеевым], right? I give him that opportunity. This is a lot of money for me, but I have other options. For example, we have not talked to the same Kamil Hajiyev yet. And I don’t know what he has to offer here. The same with the UFC. So far, there are no conversations with them either. Khabib also announced a visit to the USA, and he will host the first tournament in the USA. That’s all. Maybe Khabib will have much more interesting conditions. And, perhaps, it will be more interesting to perform with him.
It is expected that the Shlemenko-Ismailov fight will take place in July 2022 at one of the future RCC league tournaments in Yekaterinburg.
