MOSCOW, September 18 – Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Alexander Shlemenko said that due to an early stoppage in the first fight against Alexander Ilic, it is necessary to organize a rematch with the Serb.

The first fight took place in August 2022 and ended with Ilic winning by technical knockout in the first minute.

“I won’t personally demand, but I will try to somehow talk with the judge, with the referee, so that they are more attentive to their work. In that fight, the judge was a foreigner. It is clear that the fight is international, but it seems to me that our judges also work well “, the fighter added.
