Ali Bagautinov told about the wrestling sambo championship of Russia, a debut in boxing and a possible duel with the Japanese champion.
The correspondent of "Chempionat.Com" asked the athlete on the reasons of defeat in the ending, the forthcoming debut in professional boxing and return to FIGHT NIGHTS ring on the Battle of Moscow 11 tournament which will take place on April 20 in "Luzhniki".
— Ali, you repeatedly won in the championships of Russia and the World Cups. Why this time it didn't turn out to win gold?
— In the ending I slightly relaxed because of what I lost two balls. Probably, simply I underestimated the rival who very well fights in a sambistsky jacket. And I in it not so comfortably feel myself. Here at the expense of wrestling he also won against me.
— In the championship of Russia level of the competition is higher, than on the world?
— Unambiguously. In the championship of Russia level of participants is always much higher. In my weight category about 40 people acted. In the World Cup of participants was twice less. In principle and there it is impossible to relax because danger is constituted by Asian athletes from such countries as Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and others. They well fight, and to win against them not so simply.
— You wouldn't want to carry out a revenge with your rival on the ending of the championship of Russia Alexey Ebechekov by rules MMA?
— By rules MMA from participants of tournament anybody couldn't fight with me. If to take off a jacket from it, it for me it will be simple as the victim. I initially not the sambo wrestler, and the wrestling, the prize-winner of the championship of Russia on "classics". In a ring and without a jacket I wouldn't release it and would scoff at it all five minutes.
— How there were for you other duels in the championship of Russia?
— Very interesting semifinal fight with other representative of Moscow Velimurad Alkhasov turned out. I pulled out at it a victory a throw on four points in the last five seconds of a duel. For me this victory became very important. Probably, because of it I also relaxed in the ending.
— The European championship is how prestigious for you? When you will begin preparation for it?
— The European championship – too very big level. I am glad that there got because I have no title of the champion of Europe on wrestling sambo. Now I have a rest in the homeland in Dagestan, I gain strength, but from next week I will begin serious preparation at first to the championship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then to "A battle of Moscow 11" and to the European championship which will take place in May.
— Kamil Gadzhiev said that you debut in professional boxing soon. Whose is idea?
— It is our general with Kamil idea. I dream to check long ago myself and to act on professional boxing. But my main goal – to go further to MMA. To act in UFC or Bellator. And boxing will give the chance to me to check simply the skills in a type of single combats new to. It is possible to tell that I decided it to try and for entertainment.
— When the debut will take place?
— Closer to summer, most likely, in June. Now every month at me it is painted and there is no time for preparation purely to boxing. MMA and fighting sambo now for me is more important, and boxing while will wait. Perhaps, this year I and not will carry out one duel. Everything depends on how it will turn out to act in the first fight.
— According to Gadzhiev, you will fight on April "Battle of Moscow" with the Japanese. To whom from them would like to battle?
— My possible rival Kiyotaka Simidz. I looked already at its fights. In Japan he is a champion in my weight (according to the version of one of the oldest organizations of the world of Pancrase. — Comment of "Chempionat.Com"). When I saw it, told Kamila that is very good rival and I would like to measure swords with it forces. He won the last fight by a knockout and protected the title. Thus it not bad is guided and in wrestling, both in orchestra seats, and in a rack. It would be interesting to check itself with it. I am sure that well with it I will fight and I will win. Other exit at me doesn't remain.
