“This is the first time it happens that five of my fighters appeared in front of me.
I still have strength, but emotionally I got a little tired.
But I have not yet seen a coach put five of his fighters in front of him, and then win in cold blood.
I want to apologize to many for not being able to finish.
It was hard to do.
The rival was like a stone, although I hit him well, ”Shlemenko quotes“ Match TV ”.
He noted that he would not like in the future to repeat the situation when his fighters perform before his fight within the framework of one tournament.
“It’s hard psychologically, as if you’ve already had a fight.
And Santos' blows weren't powerful.
I felt his training in Dagestan, because he made weight.
I think he is in his best shape now, ”the fighter added.
For the 36-year-old Shlemenko, the victory over Santos was the 60th in his career with 13 defeats.
Earlier it was reported that Shlemenko defeated Santos at the AMC Fight Nights 101 tournament in Vladivostok.
