Oleg, are you satisfied with the results of the draw?
- Yes, I am pleased with the draw. This is one of the best options for me.
Before the draw, did you think with whom you would like to compete?
- Yes, I thought. I am ready to fight with everyone and win, but Igor Okara and Raimonds Antonovics are the best options.
What opportunities do you see for yourself in the fight against Antonovics?
- Only a victory!
What do you consider as his advantages, and in what you can be the best?
- His advantage is experience. I will not evaluate and disclose mine. It will be a surprise for everyone.
You saw how Raimonds pulled at the Zloty Tur, also refreshed your knowledge when he pulled at a transition fight. Will you prepare in any special way for him? What do you put in the basis of your preparation?
- Yes, I will prepare differently for the fight with Raimonds. I study his fighting style. The basis of my preparation is the study of my weaknesses, which I try to make as strong as possible, for example, start and so on.
How do you like pairs in +105 kg class? Whom will you cheer for?
- Matchups are very good, all fights will be interesting. Probably, like most, it is very interesting for me to see the duel between Saginashvili and Chaffee. I think that Levan will win 4-2. I will cheer for Evgeniy Prudnik. I think this year he will work on the mistakes, and we will see him in the final.
