The applicant for a title of the champion of Bellator on the average weight Dug Marshall (18-6) shared opinion on a tomorrow's duel with champion Alexander Shlemenko (48-7).
"I am going to prove everything that they were mistaken in Shlemenko's relation. I quite often had to be an outsider, and now me again consider as that.
The outsider before whom? Before the next fucking Russian who has no power? Which looked sluggish and powerless in the last fight? People go mad.
I passed through this tournament and felt so as if I scatter sixth-graders. I don't know that I need to make that people apprehended me seriously. I possess power and as soon as possible I drop the opponents on a flooring.
I am not similar to those who wins on points, I don't seek to bring fights to late rounds. I always try to get as soon as possible to a cage and to finish business.
Cooper received 6 blows from me, and one of them was obviously superfluous as it was already cut down. Alexander Shlemenko hit it 139 times, and fight all the same reached the decision. Two plus two equally in four? I am the new champion. On paper, mathematically, statistically - from what party look, I am better as the fighter.
Certainly, it is possible to call this fight opposition of the USA and Russia. I intend to show to the whole world that the American fighters it is better. Russians - rigid guys. I saw fighters from Russia who didn't give up when to them carried out the elbow lever, got out of capture and won even with the broken hand.
I worried on the fact that it is necessary to me fight with the opponent from Russia while didn't jump up nearly in front of the TV, having seen as Cooper struck to Shlemenko blow, and that failed as a bag with potato.
And I thought: Oh God! This dude seriously thinks, what will be able to go with me to exchange? It insufficiently rigid to go to exchange with me". I will draw the line in the cage center opposite to Shlemenko and I will tell it: "Let's find out right now who on what is capable".
I saw how Shlemenko is wrapped in the Russian flag after each victory. I understand that it is pride of the country, but the dude... it is America, and I feel so as if I was given a slap in the face, every time when you do it.
So I am going to give a slap in the face to you when we will appear in a cage, and to take away your belt, and then I will be wrapped in the most beautiful flag from all - red-white-blue, the child!
If to trust bookmakers, I андердог in fight with Shlemenko so on me there will be no pressure. At it is behind shoulders of 50-60 fights, he is a champion, bla bla bla... I have nothing to lose. He is a champion, and it has to stop me, but I don't see a way which it will be able to make it.
Fans will see fireworks as for July fourth, will see a beautiful American flag and me standing with a gold belt on a waist. What? Where Alexander Shlemenko? Has to be, he was tired because lay down in the middle of a cage", - told Marshall.
