"Loans are just an illusion". Ismailov explained why he dislikes banks

Famous Russian mixed style fighter Magomed Ismailov told why he refuses promotional offers from banks.

"There are offers that go against principles. There's a lot of money there - more than in MMA. But I refuse them. It's all kinds of offices, banks - everything that I don't welcome. Why don't I like banks? It all makes people's lives harder. Loans and so on are just an illusion. You just go into debt that only grows and grows. That's what I'm saying from my own life experience.

You end up thinking they are cheaters - because you have been cheated. You, like Papa Carlo, have to work hard for decades - you have to spend your life on this loan that doesn't end and only grows all the time. That's why I don't like them - the banks, the betting thing. I have a bank card - it's convenient. I mean the banking scheme itself. It is directed against the man, although at first it seems different," Ismailov said.

Ismailov's next fight will be against Vladimir Mineyev on October 16 at Fight Nights Global in Sochi.
