“Shlemenko has a huge advantage in experience compared to Tokov. Plus, he is much more diverse in percussion techniques” – Koreshkov

Russian MMA fighter Andrei Koreshkov named the favorite for the rematch between Alexander Shlemenko and Anatoly Tokov.

Shlemenko and Tokov will fight on December 14 in Yekaterinburg in the main event of the RCC tournament. The fighters previously met at the Bellator 208 tournament in New York in October 2018. Tokov won the first fight by unanimous decision.

— Shlemenko is ready well. I personally helped him prepare and I can note that he is ready normally. I think that tomorrow there will be a very good and spectacular fight performed by him. Bookmakers’ favorite – Tokov? I would probably still make Alexander my favorite. However, I am not a bookmaker and perhaps my attitude will be biased, but at the same time I speak absolutely objectively. I think that if we take the odds, then they should be equal, plus or minus – 50/50. I believe that Alexander has a huge advantage in experience. Plus, his striking technique is much more diverse. Well, in principle, he added a lot to wrestling in all aspects,” Koreshkov told Soviet Sport.
