“This is traditional for Ukraine. Who are they doing worse? To me? Or those people who want to see that their compatriot who has left their country wins the world promotion? ” - quotes Oleinik RBC.

According to him, people who do not show his fights in Ukraine are limited, because they do not understand that they are only making themselves worse.

“This is only a game of near minds when sport and art get confused in politics,” added Oleinik.

Oleynik is a native of Kharkov. In 2015, he was denied entry to Ukraine for "supporting pro-Russian ideas."

Oleinik defeated Werdum at UFC 249. Now he has 59 wins, 13 losses and one draw in MMA.

Earlier it was reported that Ukraine did not show the battle of the Russian UFC fighter Oleynik, who is banned from entering the country.
