Chabliy spoke about the words of Karelin, who compared MMA “with mixing vodka and beer”

Russian Bellator fighter Alexander Shabliy shared his opinion about the words of Alexander Karelin, who previously compared MMA “with mixing vodka and beer.”

– I have great respect for San Sanych and his merits in sports. He is a block and an engine of struggle. In my opinion, it is necessary to look at the context in which it was said, but it is read impartially. Nevertheless, a lot has been done in our country to make MMA a sport. San Sanych at the dawn of MMA also participated in exhibition fights and called them not a sport, but a method of competition. But now times have changed, and MMA has become a sport.

We have a Peresvet school in Rostov, where children from the age of seven are taught all aspects of MMA. Every person has an opinion and can express it. Karelin sees it this way, but we see it differently. Maybe I think it’s unfair to give the win to the last action, or that the fight should not only take place in the stance. San Sanych has come a long way, and many guys are now going through it in MMA, so you need to treat their work with respect, – Metaratings.ru quotes Shablia.
