“This is an old topic. They do the same thing.” Borshchev explained why he does not challenge anyone

Russian UFC fighter Vyacheslav Borshchev said in an interview with SE that he has no plans to challenge anyone to a fight.

On the night of January 16, 30-year-old Borshchev made his debut in the UFC, knocking out American Dakota Bush in the first round at UFC Vegas 46 (UFC on ESPN 32).

– There is an example of Khamzat Chimaev, who very quickly became a UFC star. And immediately after the victory, he began to challenge everyone in a row. Would you like to challenge someone to a fight?

“Honestly, nobody cares about me. I’m not interested in medals, pieces of iron, awards. I’m interested in money. Therefore, I listen to my team and do not rush anywhere. I don’t see the point in challenging someone to a fight right now. I have one idea – it is very cool and you will like it. About who we want to call. But I think it will happen only after the second contract. Now I’m fighting for little money and there’s no point in calling out the big names. And yes, it’s actually funny. I fight in the 155lb category, which is the most competitive weight. And there are so many people here? I think the tops are not interested in me at all now – no matter what the hype around me may be. Does it make sense for them to fight me? What’s the point?

But today they showed me on ESPN – I got into the top ten highlights. To be honest, today’s card was drawn by me and the last fight (Kelvin Kattar vs. Gigi Chikaze. – Approx. “SE”). In principle, if I continue in the same spirit, there are chances to quickly gain momentum. But I’m not in a hurry yet. So tired of being a beggar, just let me at least enjoy being a full-fledged fighter.

And to call … Such an old topic. It seems to me that people will soon get tired of it, it will be interesting only to new fans. It’s the same thing! “You are a fool, you are a rooster, I will break you, I will tear everyone apart.” Well, it’s the same thing. Again, I listen to my team. If she tells me to call someone, I will try to do it as original as possible. I myself do not yet have the mood to pull someone out.
