Romanov has had impressive victories in M-1 Challenge competition, including a decision over against Brazilian foe Carlos Pereira i oktober förra året kl M-1 Challenge 71, as well as a first-round stoppage via punches of Andreas Birgels this past June at M-1 Challenge 68.
I’ve been working on my strength,” Romanov said from his training camp, “because the champion in my weight class, Alexey Kunchenko, is physically strong. I need to catch up. Not that I’m looking forward to a title fight, but I always have grandiose plans, så, we’ll see how that goes. Just nu, I’m focused on Sultanakhmedov, and I think my fight with him would be no harder than a possible fight with Kunchenko.
I started training camp with two workouts a day, but I felt sick and decided to cutback to only one workout a day until I soon return to full mode. I’ve been training at home (St. Petersburg) but will soon go to Ryazan to wrestling training camp. Sedan, I will go back to St. Petersburg to prepare at camp, and go to Borovaya for boxing. My opponent is left-handed, so I need appropriate sparring partners, but the guys in my camp are a great help.
I know my opponent well having watched his fights as a youngster when he was champion. Nu, we need to reevaluate him. He was a good fighter who trains at ‘Goretswhere there is, in principle, guys there who are top level. It’s difficult to say what form he has now because he hasn’t fought in so long. Nu, he is at the peak age for a fighter, 32, så vi får se. I don’t think I’ll be favored in this fight, but I will go forward despite being the underdog.
Romanov (R) is a solid all-around MMA fighter
