A new fight awaits Abdoul Abdouraguimov on Saturday December 14, 2024. As part of the main event (main event) of the PFL (Professional Fighters League) Lyon, the 29-year-old from Nantes will face the Argentinian Laureano Staropoli. This confrontation should allow the fighter from Dagestan to take his career to another dimension, even if the person concerned does not really pay attention to it.
Abdouraguimov's objective: knock out his opponent
Staropolis? I don't know him, I've never faced him, he explains. For me, he's a fighter like any other. His qualities and his faults, I don't care. He's not my husband. It's always the same, whoever the opponent is, I want to eliminate them! My strategy remains the same: finish the opponent, finish him off, knock him out.
Abdouraguimov, Lazy King
as he is nicknamed, will aim against the South American with a mixed record (13 wins, 6 losses) for a ninth consecutive career success and a 19e victory since his debut at age 21 (only 1 defeat).
“I don’t look at my stats, he laughs. Regarding my last fight, it was already a few months ago, but I forgot… (against Jack Grant in March at PFL Europe Paris, editor's note).
Brazilian ju-jitsu at the base of his technique
He counts on his base, Brazilian jiu-jitsu
and its mastery of ground combat
to defeat his opponent and win the prestigious PFL belt, which would confirm his place among the world elite in his weight category – 77 kg.
This is my goal and also to continue to progress. I work every day for this. The more we learn, the more we realize that we know nothing…
