Russian athlete Vasily Kamotsky, nicknamed Pelmen on the air of the program “There is a topic!” On Match TV, he talked about how his victorious match was held at the Power SLAP slave tournament.

On Thursday, Kamotsky defeated the American Layne Verns, nicknamed the Mad Habac at the Power SLAP 11 tournament in Saudi Arabia and won the championship belt. Kamotsky is the first representative of Russia to play in the Power SLAP League, established by the UFC head, Dadin White.

– What is in your soul after victory?

– In my soul, the understanding is that I am the strongest in this sport, that I won the strongest league, I think this is the only league in the slap in the face. I am the champion of this league in heavyweight. I had the opportunity to go out with the flag. This is a great pride!

– How does recovery go after such battles? Surely some complications with the face are taking place at first?

– Everything is fine with me, nothing hurts. After the battle, maybe half an hour my head was sick, then I drank the medicine, and everything is fine. Good condition. There is nothing like that, everything is fine. I will do an MRI, I will see what is there.

– The victory was on points. How is the victory determined in this case?

– Yes, the victory was on points, and everything was easy there. He beat me, I did not move, and he trembled a couple of times, so the round is given. Here they hit you, and you are standing and everything like a wall, and he took a step back. So everything. He had a bad blow, plus he had two fouls: he once tried to dodge the blow and once he hit me not according to the rules, because I had to beat on his cheek, and he hit me in the neck. They removed points from him for impacting incorrectly, plus I took the blows easily, and he seemed to stagger.

– You shouted with the flag: “Russia is forward!”

– Yes, “Russia is a champion!”

– What did the enemy want from you, what did he say?

“I don’t know, I have problems with English, I don’t understand him.” He shouted there, and I to him: “What are you yelling? Yes, you went! ” All! I told him: “Give the belt, everything, lost everything!”

“Dane White then approached you.” Tell us about the details of the conversation with him.

– He congratulated me. I told him that my dream came true and his dream came true that Pelmeen was a league champion, because he all the time said that he had made this league when he saw my battles in Russia.

“You asked for the flag and then turned it around.” You wanted, except the flag of Russia, to expand the flag of your native region.

– UFC is prohibited from any flags except the flag of the country. The flag of the Krasnoyarsk Territory is impossible, they immediately told me about this. I went to the first battle in October in Abu Dhabi, too, with a flag and in Saudi Arabia came with him. I asked permission, they allowed. All the fighters went out with their flags, who had a desire to do this.

– But for you it was a fundamental moment?

– Yes, yes!

– What are your plans now?

– Now we will rest a little and wait for the offer from the league when the next fight is. We will protect the belt with another Hawaiian. While there is health, we will fight. It is necessary to kill all Hawaiians. And there we’ll see it, ”said Kamotsky on the air“ Match TV ”.

“You know my next opponent. Usyk challenged me to a fight. He said he wanted to meet me in the ring. I accepted the challenge. “I push horses” and “I feel it, I feel it hard.”

What’s my plan? Be smart, be faster, use my agility, be tough, get in the ring and knock him out. I am known for my strength, I need to show it. “I’ve been through a tough journey in my life, but I’m back and ready to beat Usyk,” Wilder said.
