Interview of Vugar Karamov, MMA fighter of Azerbaijan and Gabala Sports Club, to Idman.biz.
- You will fight again in Rizin. Who did the offer come from?
- In my last match I won against Kazumasa Majima (Japan). After that, they were looking for an opponent for Roberto Satoshi for the belt match of the 71 kg weight class. I suggested that I could fight. They couldn't find an opponent and said to fight with you.
- Do you know the opponent?
- He is a very good athlete. At the same time, it is a strong competitor. It will be a good meeting. I will do my best to win. Let's see how it will be in the end.
- Have you already started preparations for the meeting?
- I didn't stop training. I knew it was going to be a fight. That's why my preparation is at a high level. I am currently in a training camp in Dagestan. I will return to Azerbaijan on December 7 and lose some weight. I will leave for Japan on December 26. This is just a check for me at 71 weight. It's also a belt fight.
- Roberto Satoshi defeated Tofig Musayev in 2021. Is this why you think about revenge?
- It doesn't matter to me. No matter who my opponent wins or loses to, I do not consider myself inferior to anyone. I know what I am capable of. Therefore, such issues do not make me think about anything.
- Your meeting will coincide with December 31 - World Day of Solidarity of Azerbaijanis. What effect can that day have on your performance?
- It will be a great holiday for me. Of course, that meeting will be important in my life. Therefore, fighting on such a day requires responsibility. I would very much like to make our people happy by winning World Azerbaijani Solidarity Day.
