Kazakh MMA fighter Fanil Rafikov in an interview with Namys Fighting answered his compatriot Damir Ismagulov to his statement about their potential fight, Sports.kz reports.
— What will you answer to Damir’s words? He said he wouldn't run after you. — We are not in athletics (smiles). I'm not the person you need to run after. I’ll catch up with whoever I want. I watched his interview. He's going to die, I'm going to fight in February. But we need to finish the story, and I'm ready. After Umrah, he will need to rest, recover and begin training. We can finally sit down at the negotiating table and discuss the fight in April-May. We need to close this story, this chapter.
