Alexander Shlemenko said that there are a lot of Russian fighters in the UFC
Russian mixed martial arts fighter (MMA) Alexander Shlemenko said that there were a lot of his compatriots in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). It is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to the athlete, the promotion has a desire to reduce the number of Russians. “Such a quantity, most likely, is not necessary for the organization. So they put them next to each other. Although, maybe other fighters refuse to fight with ours, ”added Shlemenko.
