Turkmen mixed martial arts fighter Dovletjan Yagshimuradov spoke about preparations for the upcoming fight.

Now the athlete is training intensively in the famous American Top Team gym in the USA together with the best coaches and sparring partners in order to raise his professional level before the fight.

-While we are preparing for April, there will be accurate news soon, - the athlete noted in a conversation with a Turkmenportal correspondent.

Yagshimuradov also shared a photo with Bellator middleweight champion (13-0) American Johnny Eblin and boxing coach Daya Davis, one of whose students is former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.

Let us remind that in October 2023, Yagshimuradov defeated the Polish fighter Maciej Rozanski at the Bellator 300 tournament in California. The fight lasted all three rounds and ended with a unanimous decision of the judges in favor of the Turkmen athlete. This victory was his third in a row in Bellator and permitted him to rise to fifth place in the promotion's light heavyweight rankings.

In addition to his professional activities in MMA, Yagshimuradov periodically acts in films. Viewers may recognize him from his role as Balaban Alp in the Turkish TV series Foundation: Osman. And in October last year, the fighter took part in the “Dawn of Arkadag” film festival in Turkmenistan along with Turkish stars.
