ASA Vice President Positively Attitudes to Signing Contracts with Reznikov and Ismagulov

The ASA representative emphasized that the Kazakhstani fighter regularly communicates with him. He described Artem as an easy-going and adequate guy with whom it is easy to reach mutual understanding. Badayev also said that they even think alike.

The MMA expert also commented on the possible fight between Reznikov and Bagov. The fighters recently had a conflict and the best scenario for resolving it could be a meeting in the ring.

16 Reznikov competed in the ACA 159 tournament. In a sparring match with Eduard Vartanyan, the Kazakhstani fighter suffered a technical knockout loss from his opponent. In total, Artem has had 30 fights in his professional career, winning 24 of them.

Russian fighter Damir Ismagilov's contract with the UFC expired, so Badayev, without delay, offered the athlete participation in the lightweight Grand Prix. In total, the Orenburg native has 27 fights - 24 wins and only 3 losses.

Mixed martial arts tournaments are currently very popular among spectators. The Russian league pays great attention to the sports component and does not turn the competition into a show format. Organizers of martial arts adhere to the principles of sports equality of participants and fairness of judging. Due to the increased attention from the public, athletes are often interested in moving to ASA MMA.
