Artem Reznikov, a popular MMA fighter from Kazakhstan, will he root for his fellow countrywoman, the sister of top UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov Sora, who will fight with Ernesta Karikaite at the Dana White’s Contender Series 2023 tournament
“I root for Sora because she’s from Kazakhstan, but I don’t watch women’s fights. With very few exceptions. I haven’t seen any of her fights. I will hope for her victory, but I can’t say more precisely, because I’ve never seen her. There is a crisis in women's MMA right now. If earlier I watched the fights of Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg, now for some reason there are no such interesting girls. Women’s MMA is slowly declining.”
