The head of the AMC Fight Nights league, Kamil Gadzhiev, said that Russian fighter Vladimir Mineev, who was in the special military operations zone in Ukraine, took a few days off. Hajiyev quotes RIA Novosti Sports.
“Vladimir has been released for a few days, so I will not negotiate with him about the fight. I will wait until he finally returns from a special military operation. There is not even an opportunity to train there, when there is no point in negotiating,” he said.
