“Forward, Russia” – Kopylov’s manager after winning the UFC in Paris
“French fans of the state:“ Forward, Russia ”- Kopylov’s manager after winning the UFC in Paris
Russian fighter Romana Kopylova Alexander Skaredin, in a conversation with Match TV, said that French fans support the fighters at the UFC tournament in Paris.
Kopylov at the first UFC tournament in the first round knocked out Alessio di Chirico and won his first victory under the auspices of the promotion.
— You made it to the first UFS tournament in France. With the description of your show in other countries, how would you rate the organization of the tournament in Paris?
“For me, this is the second UFC event, which was the first for the UK,” Skaredin told Match TV. – I’m not surprised – I was at the first show of the organization in Russia. What I like is that wherever the UFC takes place, everything is the same, at the highest level. It’s just a gun.
We have a lot of experience watching the work from the inside, it’s just a rarity – they do an incredible job. It can be seen that every person on the site gets high from their work. And they make it clear to the fighters – whether it’s the main fight or the early prelima fight – that they are the main participants in the process. It’s an indescribable feeling.
Paris is very cool. A huge number of Italians came here, who hooted to us at the exit. Igor Glazkov and Max Ponomarev were in the stands from our team, and they began that, at the moment of joy from the result, the French cheered them up and defended them: “Forward, Russia.” The atmosphere is great! The arena was delayed to capacity, we are happy to be a part of this story.
– In general, it was a success.
Paris is top!
– Well, I can conclude that you don’t feel any negativity in your address?
– Absolutely none. Everything is correct and respectful. Yes, at the time of entering the battle, a fairly large number of Italians were googling at our address, but this definitely cannot be called negative. We understand that they were rooting for their fighter. It didn’t cross any boundaries. On the contrary, I love these things. It’s so joyful to break someone’s high.
I would like to pay tribute to the UFC. When most of our sport is banned, crossed out, not a single fighter has been fired, the guys are not idle. For me, this is the quintessence of the sporting spirit. We are glad that we have the opportunity to defend our country in international competitions, accepting victories.
