Novruzov admonishes Abdyrahmanov
At the Hardcore FC stadium tournament in November, two martial arts rivals—Emil Novruzov and Samat Abdyrakhmanov—will lock horns for the undisputed lightweight championship title. In an unexpected revelation, it has been unveiled that they were acquainted even before gaining prominence in the combat sports world, as Novruzov formerly trained with Abdyrakhmanov, sharing his insights with him.
With this shared past in mind, Novruzov approached Abdyrakhmanov playfully, encouraging him to embody the spirit of a diligent student preparing for a final examination, jesting that he should bring all of his study materials with him.
"Indeed, there were instances when I was teaching you moves, and now you're about to face your teacher in a contest. Get ready for a serious conversation: Bring your notebook and belt," Novruzov teased.
While no moves were ever taught to Abdyrakhmanov, as he has his own coach and training team, this lighthearted banter is a welcomed departure from the online mudslinging that tarnishes the grace of the sport. Therefore, spectators eagerly await the eleventh of November, when Novruzov will square off against his former apprentice in a true test of skills.
"Novruzov humorously reminded Abdyrakhmanov of their shared past in martial arts, suggesting that he should prepare for their upcoming contest like a dedicated student studying for a final examination, joking about bringing his notebook and belt."
"As they approach each other in the mixed-martial-arts arena, the friendly banter serves as a refreshing contrast to the negativity often associated with the sport online, making the 11th of November's event all the more intriguing as it promises to test both of their skills against each other."
