The title fight between Berkhamov and Tumenov has already been discussed. The fighters were not eager to go into the cage with each other. Neither Muhamed nor Albert showed much interest in the fight. However, both acknowledged that the organization may sooner or later come up with the idea of ​​putting on a show led by bright representatives of the welterweight division.

Today the duel between Berkhamov and Tumenov was officially announced. The first meeting of Muhamed and Albert as official rivals has already taken place - in their joint interview with the "Championship".

1. What are you doing three months before the fight?

Albert Tumenov: I've been in the USA for the second week already, training in the American Top Team gym. There are many sparring partners here, you can learn a lot. True, for some reason they don’t put me with one of the famous guys. There were a couple of people from the UFC, but they are little known. I have long wanted to come here. Even before the first fight in ACB I planned, but did not find the time.

Mukhamed Berkhamov A: I don't sit still either. Came to Moscow to train. I do boxing. After these charges I will go to the USA. I'll look at the variety of those trainings, at the American fighters. I plan that it will be the AKA hall. In it, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev are already preparing for their fights. I will work with them.

2. What can you say about the opponent?

A.T.: In all the interviews, I said that I don’t want this fight. Mohammed is my countryman. I would not like some national background, because we are from the same republic. But ACB, as you can see, wants this fight. We perform on high level- all of Russia will watch the fight. No matter how we treat each other, we need to go out and fight. This is our job.

M.B.: I didn't want to fight Albert until the very end. And now I don't want to. But our paths crossed - the leadership decided so. My opinion of him has not changed: I still respect Tumenov. Albert is not my enemy. We are from the same republic, both are Muslims. This will be the case regardless of the outcome of the battle. I said a long time ago: if I have to fight with Tumenov, after the fight I will call him to drink tea. The offer is valid.

A.T.: Why not? I myself can take Mukhamed anywhere to drink tea (laughs).

3. What are you working on to surprise your opponent?

A.T.: To prepare for this particular opponent, I came to ATT. But not in order to train one element. I wanted to understand what American gyms are like, to learn something new, maybe.

Berkhamov has a strong fight, and some write to me on social networks that I lose only to wrestlers. But I do not bother about this. It's even cool. I have repeatedly said that I lost not because of the struggle, but because there was a disorder with my health. It is difficult to resist translations when you are physically weak due to poisoning. No one could knock me down healthy. If they knock me down, I admit that I am not strong in the fight.

M.B.: There will be no surprises. Everyone knows what style we fight in: I am a wrestler, Albert is a drummer. I'm not going to cut with him, so as not to get some crazy blow. Although I do not plan to stupidly climb into the fight. I will respond to Albert's punches in the standing position, but I will focus on what I can do best.

4. You represent two different peoples of the same republic - Kabardino-Balkaria. Does this impose additional responsibility, given that Kabardians and Balkars are increasingly quarreling on social networks?

A.T.: Each person represents his people. But in our fight, we should not emphasize that I am a Balkar and Mukhamed is a Kabardian. If I grab the flag now and shout about my origin and Berkhamov does the same, it will only aggravate the situation. It’s bad and insulting when politics gets into sports. That's why I didn't want this fight. But if there is no way without this, then everything must be done so that the atmosphere around the fight is as friendly as possible.

I have never quarreled with a Kabardian in my life, and we do not have strained relations in the republic. Many Kabardians support me. Someone even went to cheer for me in another country when I fought in the UFC. I am sure that Berkhamov and I will calmly shake hands after the fight, and that will be the end of it.

M.B.: I am even ready to refuse this fight, if only our peoples do not quarrel. I have always been for friendship between Kabardians and Balkars. I would refuse to fight with Tumenov, if only our peoples continued to be friends. I do not approve of people who divide us into Kabardians and Balkars. We are all ours. We have been living in the same country for a long time.

5. What can you say to the fans of Kabardino-Balkaria who continue to quarrel in social networks?

A.T.: I would like to say the following to my fans and fans of Berkhamov. I respect Muhammad, and he respects me. Treat each other the same way. We are fraternal peoples, we have been living in one republic for a very long time. Continue to be friends and do not listen to the nationalists who pour mud on each other.

MB: I would like to ask the fans not to speak badly about me or the opponent because of our origin. Treat our fight like a friendly sparring match. No anger, no aggression. Just five rounds of a sporting event.

On September 8, within the framework of the ASV 93 tournament, a duel will take place between UFC fighters: Albert Tumenov and Mukhamed Berkhamov. Both fighters are serious about the upcoming fight, as the first will have to try to take the title away while the second fighter will try to defend it.

Albert Tumenov

A Russian athlete who showed good performance on the world stage at a relatively young age. At the moment, the fighter has already held 23 fights at a professional level. Of these meetings, 19 ended in victory for the Russian, 12 of them by technical knockout.

Very often, Albert takes his opponents by surprise, inflicting strong blows from the left leg. High speed of striking allows you to easily break through the opponent's block, causing him considerable damage.

Muhammed Berkhamov

A Russian fighter who managed to win the title of DIA welterweight champion. He got it in his last fight against Brett Cooper which ended in a knockout and winning his first serious award.

The fighter managed to hold only 12 fights in the professional ring, without suffering a single defeat. But it is important to consider that only 3 fights ended in a knockout. This suggests that the fighter pays more attention to tactical considerations and wrestling techniques, rather than trying to knock out opponents. Muhammad devotes a lot of time to training, studying the style and manner of fighting of each of his opponents.

Odds 1xBet

The favorite of this pair is Albert Tumenov whose odds for winning are 1.5. At the same time, his opponent's victory is estimated at 2.38. Both fighters are serious about preparing for this fight and, of course, will try to win.

Forecast of the fight Tumenov - Berkhamov

Despite the fact that bookmakers consider Albert Tumenov to be the obvious favorite of this pair, there are many factors that speak a little differently. The first and, perhaps, the main factor is the statistics and preparation for each duel of Berkhamov. In terms of knockouts, the fighter does not demonstrate anything supernatural, but his strengths not at all in this.

Muhammad demonstrates the highest degree of resistance to blows and correctly distributes his forces. He is not always eager to demonstrate his series of strikes, sometimes saving his strength for a more convenient moment. The fighter very often uses techniques from wrestling, which is why there are so many submission victories in his statistics. Constant work on studying the opponent allowed him to extend his winning streak to 12 fights. This is an incredible result, which only confirms that the fighter is very good.

Our prediction for this fight is as follows - Mukhammed Berkhamov will stand all rounds and the outcome of the fight will be determined by the referee's decision or by submission. You can also take a chance and bet on the victory of Muhammad with a coefficient of 2.38.
