The light heavyweight of UFC Winnie Magalyaesh (10-5) told about the reasons which have induced it to throw down a challenge to Phil Davies (10-1), and also commented on the statement of the last that ju-jitsu doesn't constitute for it danger.
"In the last fight I met Igor Pokryats who was far from top-10, and didn't enter at all in top-15 (Magalyaesh forced Pokryats to give up at the beginning of 2 rounds. - editor's note). But this guy at that time possessed a series from three victories in UFC. I felt that this time the opponent of other level the victory over which will make for me sense is necessary to me.
People say that Davies delivers to me problems, but I so don't consider. I think that its style perfectly suits me, and Davies is the easiest for me the opponent from top ten.
At first between us there was nothing personal, I simply caused it on fight, having told that its style of conducting fight is convenient for me. Then it answered me, and between us the conflict immediately was tied. Finally, for me that I received in opponents of the guy from top-10 matters only.
Davies says that will suit a wrestling duel from this fight, but it sounds ridiculously. All saw Damian Maya fight against John Fitcha. Фитч - the excellent fighter, he can supervise due to skills in free-style wrestling anyone throughout five rounds. But when Fitch met Maya who is a greppler of world level, it was completely деклассирован in orchestra seats.
My friend Man Sonnen too met Maya in fight. He is the excellent fighter and as the fighter of MMA it is much more dangerous, than Phyl Davies. But every time when Sonnen faced the master of ju-jitsu, it finally after all came across on the painful.
I am not disturbed that Davies tells about the fighters of freestyle dominating over masters of ju-jitsu. Grepplera of world level don't lose to wrestlers. Here in what a difference between the owner of a black belt and the owner of a black belt of world level, that is, the world champion.
I am not excited that he speaks. If fight passes to orchestra seats, I will force Davies to give up", - Magalyaesh declared.
