Igor, are you satisfied with the results of the draw?

- First, after the draw, I thought about how to plan the preparation, because Kydyrgali Ongarbaev is an uncomfortable and universal opponent. But in general, I am satisfied with the results of the draw.

You wanted Brzenk, but you got Ongarbaev, and he is not the easiest option. What do you think about this?

- I want to compete with Brzenk still, although I will have to fight with Kydyrgali. Honestly, if I had the opportunity to choose an opponent, I don’t even know who I would like to choose, because I think the championship four are approximately equal...

Kydyrgali is a fairly versatile athlete. What will you prepare to deal with him?

- Ongarbaev is really a very experienced, versatile athlete. I think he will fight toproll with me. It will be difficult to prepare something to pull him, but I will try to cook something.

What have you changed in your training? What do you consider your strength in the fight?

- I somewhat changed my training, but this is more related to the six-round fight. And just getting ready for the fight, I hope the preparation will go according to plan ...

How do you like a couple in weight +105kg? Who will you cheer for?

- For me, the most interesting pair in +105 kg is Saginashvili and Chaffee, but in general in this category I will cheer for Prudnik.
