Lightweight fighter Alexander Sarnavsky told how Artem Reznikov fell ill before the fight with Andrei Koshkin and why he did not withdraw from the fight.
Kazakhstani Artem Reznikov and Russian Andrey Koshkin fought for reaching the final of the ACA Grand Prix. The fight ended in the second round: Reznikov moved the opponent to the ground, where he managed to carry out a choke hold (north-south).
Artyom didn’t feel very well this morning. Most importantly, there was no temperature. I had the same situation before Damkovsky, I flew out and got sick. But he didn’t tell anyone. Today Artem just wrote to my friend Alexei that he should go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine.
We took everything, came to the room. Artem washed everything. Well, of course, he started to get sick. Now I don’t know what his condition is. But in no case did they plan to shoot, because they had already done the weight, the preparation was difficult, nervous. Artem had an injury before the fight, he was constantly injured before the last fights. Willpower cannot be taken away from him, everyone gathered, supported him, encouraged him. Everything went very well, as we planned, victory. No matter what anyone says, not a bright performance or something else, a victory is a victory. The result comes first.
It’s hard for me to say how much the disease weakened Artyom. We haven’t talked to him right now. Of course, when you go out to fight, your nose doesn’t breathe, everything is clogged, it’s hard to breathe, of course, there are feelings. Three rounds can still be stretched, but five rounds, especially the last two, are already more difficult. Artem felt fine, but how would he feel in the fifth round? It’s hard to say,” Metaratings.ru quotes Sarnavsky.
