This will be their first fight in Vendetta in Vegas. Both the American, Chris Binnie, and the Armenian - Armen Chapukyan, will have their first armfight in Vegas. The American is already getting ready for his opponent.

I know he's fast and strong, I will be ready for him – promises Binnie and keeps on training.

Chapukyan is training too. His favorite exercises are bicep curls, wrist curls and forearm curls. Binnie, on the other hand, does lots of isometric holds, whether he's training, sparring or watching TV. He works his “arm” a lot, although he says that's an empty phrase.

It's all about wrist flexors – says Binnie. - I work them like any other muscle. I believe every armwrestler has strong forearms (wrist flexors) and most problems with losing the arm during setup is not due to weak arms.

Armen fights mostly with hook / bicep style, although he does not hesitate from using top roll, it all depends on his opponent and their technique.

I will try to be in top shape for armfight #45 – says Armen. - I will meet a great opponent, i must win!

They will fight in +95 kg over 210 lbs Superheavyweight.

Armfight #45 will take place on 26 February at the Sunset Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
