Dmitry, did the draw justify your expectations? Do you think you are lucky with your opponent?

- I believe that now the draw has fallen to me good, because we need to take into account that I am moving, and family affairs are in the first place. Because of this, I will probably lose a little in preparation. So far there is no possibility to train. I need to get a job and solve other issues. But I will have a clean one and a half months of preparation, and I think that it should be enough for a quality fight with Alex Kurdecha.

What technical features will help you defeat Kurdecha? What will you do in the preparation?

- Alex is a purely “physical”, power armwrestler, and it will be convenient for me to fight him, because I am the same. He can oppose a lot of things to my struggle, but I think he will focus on the hook fight, and I will try to cover all the technical aspects.

What can you say about other matches? Whose fight will you be interested to watch?

- Of course, the most interesting for me will be a match of Rustam Babaev and Tim Bresnan. There will be an exciting fight that I want to see. Their last meeting, to put it mildly, did not show a good fight. So, we will wait and prepare ourselves. In other pairs everything is also, in general, interesting, but the favorites, of course, are clear.
