"When I was offered this fight, the last thing I wanted was to fight Armen, because he is like that - well, he is a good guy, really. There is no rotten trait in him that I would want to beat him for, there would be anger and so on. But this is a sporting interest, composure, and I understand that if he stands opposite me in the cage...

He wants to beat me in front of my entire family, all my relatives, all my friends, brothers and everyone who supports me. I understand that he will be a threat to me, and I need to eliminate him. The fact that he came out against me already says something. That I need to get past him," the athlete said.
