This one of the most popular sporting events in future capital of winter Olympic Games.  Annually the sports and business elite, the well-known actors, legends of martial arts gathers on "Platform".    From the sporting point of view "S-70 Platform" - very prestigious tournament among the masters of the mixed single combats.  Not accidental it call the open European championship!  There the best fight only, well or one of the best.  For the first time the invincible fayter is invited to Sochi "Platform" from Kazakhstan - Armand  OSPANOV representing Alash Prayd club.  In rivals our Sunkar got one of the most quoted middleweights to Russia, a star of MMA of Khabarovsk territory Alexey POLPUDNIKOV by the nickname Gladiator. 

- About the terrible rival you collected necessary information? - I asked Armand before his departure to Sochi.

- Certainly. I in details study all the rivals. In our rigid sport it is just necessary to know all the strong and weaknesses of future opponent. Otherwise not to survive. I looked on the Internet at Polpudnikov's fights. He is a drummer, works in a stand. Was engaged ushu-sanda, a kickboxing earlier. Physically very much the strong small. And the weight doesn't suffice to me a little. But anything, I think, I will consult ….

- And in what you are more strong: in a stand or orchestra seats?

- Earlier I was engaged in judo and sambo. Therefore the Sochi tournament called still by "Sambo-70", suits me. But in MMA I often work and in a stand. For example, on tournament in Astana on панкратиону knocked out the known Russian fighter, the champion of Europe Jakub  TAGIEV. By preparation for a duel with the Gladiator was engaged both fight, and boxing, and muay-thaw. The ring will show that I will manage to apply. But I shouldn't tighten fight with this Gladiator. It is better to fill up it directly.

- You have very kind appearance. Directly also you won't think that you are engaged in fights without rules … But in a cell you change …

- You are right (laughs). All speak to me about it. I thin, high. Therefore me directly rank as football players and athletes. Nobody believes that I am the fighter of MMA. And when I show video with my involvement, terribly are surprised. So appearances are deceptive.

- Why you selected to yourself such fighting alias - Sunkar?

- This bird very far flies and very highly rises. Each person too shall aim at the bigger.

- And how highly you want to fly up?

- Any fighter has a purpose to become the participant of the Bellator, Strikeforce and UFC tournaments. Russians there got for a long time, and we are Kazakhs - everything we pull. Who the first of us there will get, directly becomes a legend.
