Bugautinov challenges Provodnikov

Former UFC fighter Ali Bagautinov, now competing at the Fight Nights Global, wants to prove himself in professional boxing in 2018. Bugautinov did not waste time on jokes and swung at once to Ruslan Provodnikov. He was written this in his instagram, asking all his fans to support his idea.

"Bugautinov VS Explorer! I set goals for 2018. I want to meet in the ring in the new year and compete with the "Siberian Rocky". I'm sure it will be an amazing sight. Support me, friends! The more likes and reposts this post will get, the nearer this remarkable day may be. This will be a battle of the Caucasus versus Siberia! Do you want this fight? I hope so, my dear subscribers!"

Ali Bugautinov's career at UFC was promising at first, but after he got a title fight against Demetrius Johnson and lost via unanimous decision, his career declined sharply. He had three more fights, losing two of them to Joseph Benavidez and Kyochi Horriguchi, and Ali left UFC.
