Azerbaijani Mixed Martial Arts athlete Tural Rahimov (66 kg) interview with Idman.bize
- What can you say about Rizin Landmark 8, which you will participate in Saga, Japan?
- I have represented Azerbaijan several times in other countries. My impression about it is positive. I expect victory from myself. I am going to that race only to win. In this battle, I want to please those who love me and, most importantly, my coaching staff, and return to my homeland as a winner.
- How is your preparation for the fight going?
- My training is going great. I'm in a good mood. I feel fully ready for the race. Almost after my last fight, we had very little break. After my last speech, we only have preparatory exercises.
- So can the fight with the local Hiroshige Tanaka (Hanzo) in Japan be recorded?
- Of course, I expect victory. I am focused on this fight. This is like the last fight for me. Because it will be a fundamental struggle. I lost my last fight. I want to forget this defeat and win.
- What can you say about your opponent?
- Right, I am not fully informed. I know that he is a very experienced fighter. He is older than me. Therefore, I am well prepared tactically against my opponent. I have received reports that it is very strong. For this reason, you need to be ready to go to Japan. We also consulted with the coaching staff and set the tactics.
- Unlike you, he will participate in Rizin for the first time...
- Yes. I will fight for the second time in this tournament. My opponent will make his debut. I want to prove myself at 66 kg.
- So it won't be difficult to win in the second match?
- No, there is nothing difficult. I have been doing this sport for 14 years. I am preparing for my fight this time completely differently. It's like I'm going on my last fight.
