UFC-u pristupila najbolja borkinja iz Kazahstana

Lako je zaključiti UFC-ovu strategiju odlaska u Kazahstan. Radi se o državi koja je deveta u svijetu po površini i u kojoj živi 15 milijuna stanovnika te samim time i ogromno tržište koje osim toga obožava borilački sport. Također je riječ o državi koja predstavlja sudar svjetova, odnosno svojevrsnu granicu Europe i Azije. Jedini je problem bio što do sada nismo imali priliku upoznati puno vrhunski boraca iz te države.

'ON JE IMAO SVOJU PRILIKU'

Abdelaziz opovrgnuo glasine o meču McGregora i Gaethjea: 'Imamo druge planove'

No, nakon što se ranije ove godine angažirali Shavkata Rakhmonova, koji će 21. ožujka odraditi svoj debi u Octagonu, UFC od sada na svom rosteru ima i najbolju kazahstansku borkinju. Dosadašnja članica Invicte, Mariya Agapova, objavom na Instagramu je otkrila kako će svoju iduću borbu odraditi u Octagonu.

Dreams Come True. This is a translation of one of my tattoos. I always knew and felt it. Today something happened that I have been going all my life to. Thank you Shannon @shanknapp for giving me the chance to show myself in @invictafc. Thanks to my teammates. You have no idea how much you mean to me! A year ago, I looked at you from the TV screen. And I promised myself that I would become as strong as you. And now we are a team. And you helped me all the time on my hard way. And now I am UFC fighter like you. Thanks to my best managers in the world @alexdavismma @alexeyzhernakov @alexandrromashov13 for their well-coordinated work. And help me in every bad situation. Thanks to my coaches who put a lot of effort and work into me @rinat_bahitovich @deoliveira_coach @kingmofh @macarraodossantos @katelkubis @evertonvvoliveira @rocco.fabricio Thanks everyone! The guys from the gym this year became my family. I came here every day, even when it seemed to me that everything was over, and my dream never come true. I woke up every day, and watched the inscription on the sheet that I would fight in the UFC in 2020. And I went to ATT. Fighters from all over the world, from different states, are training there. And we have no one here but each other. We are really a huge family. And I'm incredibly happy that there are so many amazing people around me, and that I have become part of a huge family. In one family you are born, and one family you find(c) @brian666werner I'll write a book soon guys. And now this book has a happy ending! And thanks to my beautiful followers, my suns for your help, donations and support! You were my ray of light in bad moments! Thanks to your help, I paid for the house, bought food, and did not give up. Because you all supported me! My guys! Thank you for everything. In a couple of months I will be in the resource to send each of you a thanks gift. Thanks all my friends for supporting me! And for all this time I understood one thing: Not all the people who hug you are your friends. And not all people who beat up you - your enemies. @amandaufcribas @amanda_leoa @joannajedrzejczyk @maryna_moroz_ufc @markaomaluko @valerieloureda

Objavu dijeli Maria Agapova (@mma.mashka) Vel 26, 2020 u 10:38 PST

Agapova je već prošle godine imala pokušaj ulaska u UFC preko Contender Seriesa, no tamo je bolja od nje bila Tracy Cortez. Nakon toga je odradila dvije borbe u Invicti te je u obje slavila i time svoj profesionalni omjer dovela na osam pobjeda i samo jedan, taj spomenuti poraz. Bilo je to dovoljno da UFC njome odluči pojačati svoj roster. Inače je članica American Top Teama i trenira na Floridi.

UFC bi svoju premijernu priredbu u Kazahstanu trebao odraditi 13. lipnja i to na Astana Arena stadionu koji prima 30.000 ljudi.
