MOSCOW, June 1, Ivan Orekhov. Kazakh UFC fighter Zhalgas Zhumagulov talked about the situation in the flyweight category of the promotion in an interview. The division champion is the Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo. «There is a stagnation in weight. (Russian) Askar Askarov has fought so many fights, but they don't give him a title. As for the fight against Cara France, the latter gained a lot — I think he will become the next interim champion» , — the fighter said in a conversation with the agency correspondent.
"No, the idea of a fight with Askar does not interest me. We are fraternal peoples. I also communicate well with his friends. I wouldn't want to… Besides, he is far from me in the ratings. Controversial fight between Askarov and Kara-France? The fight is equal, it was possible to give the victory both there and there", the representative of Kazakhstan added.
Zhumagulov is 33 years old, in 20 fights in professional MMA he won 14 victories and suffered six defeats. On Saturday, June 4, «Jaco» will fight against American Jeff Molina at the UFC tournament in Las Vegas (USA).
