      Its going to be hard to be as eloquent as he is in Russian, in English. The translator is doing a good job, but missing out on many great things he is saying, just because its impossible to translate. Russian has more ways to express yourself than English. Russian trash talking is like Mozart, English trash talking is like Friday - Rebecca Black.

Of course everything can happen that’s for sure, but when 95% of people picking against you and you are just not that hyped kinda it shows the lack of knowledge of media and fighters. You guys better go watch two very interesting fights of Yan versus dagestani Tiger Magomedov, it will show you that he doesn’t concern much on wrestling, he is comfortable with it. I mean it’s a great sport we watching. Hope you all enjoy that fight night regardless outcome.
