Fabio Maldonado took the fight with Kirill Sidelnikov

It is informed about it by the press service of the URAL Fighting Championship (URAL FC). The fight is scheduled for July 1 and should take place in Perm.

“To please the Russian MMA public, you need someone like Fabio Maldonado. I don’t see anyone in the heavyweight division who has had more fights against top Russian and foreign fighters. Fighting Maldonado is a perfect match for Kirill Sidelnikov with a fairly good level of boxing and combat sambo skills. I think Kirill will convert to parterre and win by technical knockout. Fabio, meanwhile, is a very strong opponent, with excellent striking and cardio. The latter will be a key for him to win,” shared the opinion of Radmir Gabdullin, president of the Russian MMA.
