Ex-midfielder of Dynamo and the national team of Ukraine Oleksandr Aliyev can fight bare-knuckled in the Ukrainian league "Makhach" against fighter Volodymyr "Pijon" Duma. Aliyev received the challenge when he attended one of the Makhach evenings with his friend Artem Milevsky to record a video blog. When the call to fight was made from Dude, Aliyev went to a duel of views and promised to think about the possibility of such a duel.
Aliyev, 36, has some experience in such events. In May last year, he took part in the Battle project, where in the ring in three rounds of two minutes each with boxing gloves and without helmets, he lost on points to actor Nikita Vakulyuk.
26-year-old from Kiev Vladimir Duma is a league fighter, as well as a master of sports in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Fights in the league are held bare-knuckled and without helmets on a playground fenced with sacks. Fights last 3 rounds of 2 minutes. Ground wrestling and elbow strikes are prohibited. The main referee of the league fights is the former world welterweight champion, and now a well-known coach, Vyacheslav Senchenko. It is possible that the duel between Aliyev and the Duma will take place with a different regulation as agreed by the parties.
In the same league, he is going to hold his duel and Denis Berinchik. The opponent of the silver medalist of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the holder of the WBO intercontinental title and the third number in the lightweight rating, should be a famous MMA fighter Artem Lobov. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 19.
