On June 8, he will take on the dangerous Spaniard Acoidan Duque in the quarter finals of the €1 million OKTAGON tournament.
“Me and my team prepared for everything. I’d prefer to keep the fight standing and give a big show to the Czech fans, but I’m ready wherever the fight goes,” Machaev tells Frontkick in an exclusive interview.
In the eight-finals he defeated UFC veteran Makwan Amirkhani, who was the most famous fighter in the tournament, and arguably one of the most experienced on the OKTAGON roster. However, “Mr. Finland did not present any problems for the 24-year-old prospect.
“He was just an opponent like anyone else for me. It was a strong first match up but we are ready for anything.”
