Monson: “The USA is a rogue state that doesn’t care about anyone. No American athlete will be punished for the government’s actions.”
The United States does not respect international law, but not a single American athlete will ever be punished for the actions of the government of this country, Russian MMA fighter Jeff Monson told Match TV.
In early January, the US military launched a large-scale attack on Venezuela, and the President of the South American state, Nicolas Maduro, was captured and taken out of the country.
On Tuesday, the IOC press service told Match TV that the organization cannot directly interfere in political issues and conflicts between countries.
— How to evaluate US actions in Venezuela? And why doesn’t the sports world react?
“The United States has no respect for international law, and now they are stealing oil from another country and kidnapping a democratically elected president. What more can be said? This is a rogue state that doesn’t care about anyone. Of course, there are no sanctions against the United States or its athletes, since they control all international sports committees, including the IOC. “No American athlete will ever be punished for actions taken by his government,” Monson told Match TV.
In 2018, Monson received Russian citizenship, and in May 2023 he renounced American citizenship.

The well-known portal BoxingNews24 believes that Agit Kabayel, defending the interim WBC heavyweight title, may be the most interesting opponent of Oleksandr Usik among all the title candidates.
“Kabayel can be called Usyk’s most interesting opponent among the championship candidates. He is a boxer who is willing to apply pressure, defends well and is disciplined. His style is modern, not too fast, and suits heavyweight boxing.
However, there are doubts about whether he can control an elite technician like Usik,” experts said.
Usyk likely won’t be able to defend his WBC title against Kabayel. The Ukrainian player had previously received the right to volunteer defense with Deontay Wilder from the organization.

Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized the decision of Real Madrid management to part ways with head coach Xabi Alonso and called on the club to get rid of capricious players.
Real Madrid announced Alonso’s departure on Monday. The agreement with the 44-year-old Spanish specialist was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.
— If you come to the gym or to the field, it makes no difference whether they are fighters or football players, then you, as the head coach, rule. But if there is such an aura in your team that not everyone fulfills your requirements, you are definitely not on the right path.
I believe that Alonso is one of the three best coaches of our time. If the team doesn’t work well with him, then they need to change the players, not the coach. I’m just sure that no coach can cope with such a squad at Real Madrid. We need to get rid of capricious players,” Nurmagomedov wrote on the social network.
Alonso took charge of Real Madrid ahead of the current season. Before the Madrid club, the Spaniard coached Bayer Leverkusen, with whom he became the German champion, winner of the country’s Cup and Super Cup.
