It was nice to give him our T-shirt, we’ve made it specifically for this tournament. It was fun to see the surprise in his eyes, as if it was the first gift he had ever received. He saw my record written on the shirt: 'For 300 fights.' Conor was surprised and asked, 'How did you do that?' That felt nice. Soon a crowd rushed in, and I went away.
“Now Conor McGregor has a reminder that BKFC has a new star, one who will become champion, take the belt back to Russia, and eventually he’ll have to come to Russia with the tournament. I will headline the tournaments and defend my title. That is my goal. I speak with confidence, and we will definitely do it," Tuinov said.
Recall that Tuinov recently competed in a match in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), which McGregor co-owns. In that tournament, the Russian won by knockout against Tunisia's Sabri Ben Henia.
