Akbarjon Islamboev: "I turned down a great opportunity. Because..."

After two victories in the UAE Warriors promotion, Uzbek MMA fighter Akbarjon Islamboev has gained increased interest. In particular, we informed him that the US LFA promotion had offered him a great contract. We were interested in what our fighter's plans are now.

- Akbarjon, have we heard about new contracts?
- Yes, we reached an agreement with the US LFA promotion. 

- How did the Warriors management react to this?
- After my victory in my second fight, they said that they would give me a fight for the belt. But since the goal was the UFC, I refused and accepted the LFA offer.

- Is it possible to make an agreement with the promotion, that is, to fight in the Warriors until the visa issue is resolved...?
- No, you can only fight in the PFL and UFC. They don't allow other leagues. 

- Approximately when will your fight in the LFA fall? 
- Right now, all our attention is focused on visa procedures. According to their plan, I should fight in June. At the latest, I will enter the octagon in America in July.

- Of course, we expect beautiful victories from you across the ocean!
- I will do my best to do this. My goal is to get to the UFC and achieve decent results there. 

For your information, Akbarjon Islamboev has a record of 10-1. Currently, he is training in Dubai at the TKAMMFIT gym under the guidance of Husan Majlimov.
