“It doesn’t bend at all.” Russian fighter injured after UFC 324
Russian Andrei Pulyaev suffered a hand injury during a fight with Cameroonian Ateba Gauthier at the UFC 324 tournament in Las Vegas, said the second of the domestic fighter and former Bellator champion Andrei Koreshkov.
At UFC 324, the middleweight fight between Pulyaev and Gauthier lasted all three rounds. The Russian was defeated by unanimous decision.
— In the first round there was nothing so dangerous for Andrey. Well, yes, at the beginning he missed a blow, but from this blow, let’s say, he woke up more than he was shocked. And he fell because the canvas was slippery. In general, he almost always lost his balance in this fight due to the fact that he was sliding. Except for the blow in the second round. This is his peculiarity, he likes to slide. And this happens in training.
Gauthier is a really strong guy. But I understood perfectly well that Andrei was capable of fighting him completely and not allowing himself to be knocked out. And in principle, as many have noticed, Andrey gave a worthy fight. He hit a lot and broke his opponent’s face. No one had done this before. The third round was generally won in the opinion of two judges, and in my opinion too. But unfortunately, these conclusions from the balance spoiled the picture. Well, what can you do?
— What are Pulyaev’s future plans? When might the next fight be?
— It’s not clear yet. After this fight, his hand was broken and injured. We need to heal the injury, and then we’ll think further and look at some proposals. Regarding the injury: the doctors looked at it on the spot, no one did an x-ray – this was not required. We put on a splint, and when we arrive home we will deal with this issue. His finger doesn’t bend at all. When he gave the first good counter blow, it hit him on the forehead and broke his hand. Most likely, he broke it,” the Match TV website quotes Koreshkov as saying.
Pulyaev has 10 wins and four losses in MMA, while Gauthier has 10 wins and one loss.

Mairis Briedis He shared his predictions for the fight between Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez, recalling the American’s fight with Vasily Lomachenko.
“I think Stevenson will win on points. A strong guy like Teofimo definitely won’t win ahead of schedule; he won’t win 100%. He… he can break down, but he won’t have the strength and power to beat Teofimo ahead of schedule.”
Even when Teofimo beat Lomachenko, it wasn’t very interesting to watch because I realized it couldn’t be considered a normal fight. This is in my opinion. From where? Because Vasily showed about 60% of his abilities.”
It’s going to be pretty complicated here because here’s a boxer who beat Lomachenko, and here’s a guy who hasn’t lost a single professional fight. For me as an athlete, this is a confrontation that will still be stressful for both. And of course it will be very difficult physically for both of them,” Briedis said.

Legendary Ukrainian boxer and mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko He touched upon the situation in the capital after the rocket attacks. The mayor turned to experts in other cities of Ukraine for help and received a positive response.
“More than 340 more homes have been connected to heat since this morning.
Now, as a result of the enemy’s attack on the capital’s critical infrastructure on January 24, 1,330 high-rise buildings were left unheated.
Let me remind you that nearly 6 thousand houses in the capital experienced heat problems again yesterday. Many had been connected or attempted to be connected to a heating source twice after the bombardment on 9 and 20 January.
Utility and energy workers continue to work to provide cooling water to all homes without heat.
Teams from many other cities of Ukraine and Ukrzaliznytsia teams also assist Kyiv specialists.
Thank you to everyone who supported and helped the capital today!” – I tell Klitschko.
