MOSCOW, Mar 20, Alexander Sergeev. Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Alexander Shlemenko believes that the UFC arranges fights between Russians so that their number in the promotion does not increase. As part of the preliminary card of the UFC Fight Night 204 tournament in London on Saturday, Russian fighter Sergey Pavlovich defeated compatriot Shamil Abdurahimov by technical knockout. «There are a lot of Russians in the UFC «Such a number, most likely, the organization does not need. So they put them together. Although, maybe other fighters refuse to fight with ours,» Shlemenko said.
