Heavyweight title challenger Amir Aliakbari spoke about his preparation for the championship fight against Alikhan Vakhaev, assessed his opponent, and addressed the fans ahead of ACA 206.
The Iranian heavyweight noted that he had been waiting a long time for the opportunity to fight for the ACA championship belt and is approaching the upcoming bout in excellent shape.
“Thank God, I finally got this opportunity. I’m in excellent shape right now. I’ve been training hard for several months. I hope that thanks to the work we’ve done analyzing my opponent and my preparation, I will win the belt.
I’m extremely motivated because I’m coming for the main belt. This is a very important fight, and the fans will definitely see the best and most prepared version of Amir. ”
Aliakbari also responded to Vakhaev’s comments, after the champion had previously criticized his ability to take a punch and other aspects of his game.
“Alikhan is a very good fighter, but even he understands that he is inferior to me in every aspect: wrestling, boxing, and jiu-jitsu.
I promise all MMA fans, especially Persian-speaking fans, that they will see a great performance that night and truly enjoy it.
All of us Persian-speaking peoples are united and always support each other. I hope that on August 15, the Moscow arena will be ours! ” Aliakbari said.
The heavyweight title fight between Alikhan Vakhaev and Amir Aliakbari will take place on August 15 in Moscow and will headline ACA 206.
