“We plan to hold a second match with Magomed Ismailov at the end of next year. While there is talk about it. The main thing is that everything is in order on his part, the Magician can present surprises. The first fight with Ismailov turned out to be equal, without a serious advantage in someone's direction. But I was injured. In general, we need to give the fans what they want, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

He also added that in the weight category of 77 kg there are many good fighters and, in particular, he would like to fight with Nate Diaz.

“This is a funny guy. Plus there is Jorge Masvidal. It would be interesting to fight for the BMF belt, ”he added.

The first fight between Mineev and Magomed Ismailov ended in a draw.

Earlier, Alexander Emelianenko called Ismailov a weak fighter.
