According to the athlete, for the sake of such an opportunity, he is ready to move to the category of up to 77 kg.
“Now there are fewer such thoughts. A specific incentive is needed. For example, a fight for the UFC welterweight championship belt or a duel with McGregor in the category up to 77 kg, ”Shlemenko explained to the Championship.
On Saturday, December 14, the 35-year-old Shlemenko will fight against the American David Branch in Yekaterinburg.
