The recruit of UFC, Hasan Umalatov, in interview of fightnights.ru told about the preparation for a debut duel in the oktagena against American Neil Megni whom the Russian should meet on the first of February on UFC 169 in Newark.
- Hasan, with what mood you go to America?
- Mood normal, on lifting.
- At what stage there is your preparation?
- Trainings are closer to fight gradually change, there is more than short explosive work, whether it be a fight, whether it be shock equipment. I carry out more rounds with the truncated limit of time and I work for speed.
- Where you plan to prepare for fight in America?
- Unfortunately, because I late received the visa, at me it won't turn out to go to Greg Jackson's camp where Ali Bagautinov now carries out preparation. Therefore I will go at once to Newark and already there, on a place I will be defined. I will be engaged in more weight loss, and the main stage of preparation passed already in Russia.
- Preparation for such responsible fight in the psychological plan differs from the usual?
- The only difference that you understand that you go to the best and strong organization in MMA. Very many about me worry, beginning from relatives and finishing my FIGHT NIGHTS team. Both Kamil, and to Bath worry for me, but at the same time believe that I will well act. The main thing - successfully to debut, and further business will go better.
- Your duel costs to one of the first in the card. In this regard it is simpler or heavier to prepare to you for it?
- Rasheed Magomedov, and then my turn leaves the first in октагон. For me it is simpler to begin earlier, and then quietly to experience the atmosphere of all show. Ali will fight generally to the card therefore I hope quicker to beat off, отмучиться and to look at his fight. It is interesting to understand that such UFC.
- Your rival very high for light-middleweight weight - 191 cm. Earlier you had to battle to such giants?
- Higher than 190 - didn't come across though high children were. It will be my first experience in MMA though in fans high opponents met quite often. In big growth is both pluses, and minuses, but nevertheless it is more convenient, when the rival of one growth with you.
- Neil Megni lost two last duels, and now costs on a departure. You are ready to his increased motivation and a pressure from first seconds of fight?
- I understand that he wants to remain in UFC and leaves with serious motivation. I looked at its fights and noticed that it not the fan to aggravate. I don't know how he will move fight. Perhaps will want to work accurately on result, and can stupidly will go for broke. In principle, I am ready to any deal.
- Training of the fighter - process difficult. What it is heaviest to refuse to itself during this period?
- First of all it is a diet. It is necessary to refuse all products which we love, from sweet and flour. . I both and with friends communicate with relatives less. Training - the house, training - the house.
- Such restrictions help to save energy?
- To me - yes. I don't call up to anybody, long I don't communicate. Exception - a bath where I two times a week go after strong loadings. There it is possible to take a steam bath, vanish, to talk. And so I not the fan to hang on phone and many to communicate in the course of preparation.
