Magomedsaygid Alibekov: "Personally, I'm more interested in a fight with Akhmed Aliev"

FIGHT NIGHTS GLOBAL lightweight (70.3 kg) champ Magomedsaygid Alibekov gave his opinion on potential opponents:

"Today, I see three outstanding contenders for the title fight, Akhmed Aliev, Vener Galiev, Alexander Shabliy. All of them are worthy fighters; personally, I'm more interested in a fight with Akhmed Aliev, as he is been a long time with the promotion. We once were booked for a fight, which was cancelled and he has a great world ranking. As for Galiev, no doubt he is an experienced fighter, but he's 42 years old, and in the final part of his career. The victory over him will not give me anything, plus I respect the elder (laughs). Shabliy is an interesting, intelligent athlete who deserves the title match, but I think he needs at least one more match in the promotion, for example, against Galiev! If he wins, he will definitely become a contender for the lightweight belt".
