Recently Dmitry has shown good results, so for the debut he was given a difficult rival, American veteran Tim Bresnan. As we remember, Dmitry did not have the strength and skills to defeat Tim and the match ended with a score of 6: 0 in favor of the American. But Dmitry was not discouraged and ready to move forward:

"I feel good, except that my wrist aches a little after a fight, but everything is fine. I am not pleasured with my result, of course. I am upset that I had lost. I really hoped for a different outcome, I was seriously preparing for this armfight and thought that I could pass Tim’s wrist, but he is an experienced fighter and he proved that he’s very strong. "

We saw Dima’s excitement before the fight, but already in the first round he managed to put Tim’s arm to the pillow and in that moment it seemed he had a key to victory:

"I was very excited, but it had no effect on my fight. In the first round I attacked well, but it was hardly the key to victory, then I just felt that I can fight with Tim. But in the end I did not have the strength and general physics, perhaps I am too young for him".

Dmitry felt all skill of Tim Bresnan on himself:

"Tim is very strong and experienced fighter. After the first round, he found the key to my fight, which speaks about his professionalism. To defeat him, you have to be much stronger. If I had a chance once again to compete with him in armfight, I would spend more time training and strengthening a wrist and brachioradialis to deal with hiswrist".

After Vendetta Dmitry started training again and very soon we will be able to see again his struggle:

"I plan to take part at Worlds in Bulgaria, and the next step would be the preparation and performance at the Professional World Cup in Poland."
