Russian wrestler Alexei Kunchenko commented on the defeat in the duel with Shamil Musaev in the main fight of the RCC 16 tournament.
“Age takes its toll, not the same reaction. Hard to focus. He wanted to have a full fight. It’s the kind of sport where one hit can make all the difference.
I had a good race, no excuses. I will always be with the boys, help them prepare, share some experience.
I’ll get high with my pupils. I’m leaving this sport, I can’t compete with the youngsters. If they gave me even guys, age, one thing. But I go out, I fight, I have fun.
This is the first knockout in my entire MMA history!” Kunchenko said after the fight.
Recall that the fight ended with Musaev’s victory by technical knockout in the first round. Musaev remains an undefeated fighter with 16 wins to his credit.
