Stas Molodtsov Biography

In anticipation of this event, Molodsov talked with Alexei Safonov and told why he always works for the viewer, and also what MMA means for him after 18 professional battles.

There is a bunch of common acquaintances, and a rumor came to me that for some reason he was sure that victory would be easily given to him. I do not think that this assessment is sound. Let's see, I hope that we will not leave anyone indifferent, but according to the result - one god knows. What can this mean: everyone will bend their line or a battle can go to absolutely any scenario?

I don’t know how my opponent, but I performed in different types, in the combat sambo, for example. Therefore, this does not mean some limited set of actions. I think there will be a standard battle of two athletes of a mixed style, each of which has its own style. So, in order not to reveal all the secrets. Seriously, I always go out to fight. I do not go to battle too prudently and always work for the viewer.

This is both pros and cons. And in order not to reveal all the secrets, I will say this: I look at how my opponent is fighting, and I adapt in such a way as to create maximum discomfort. He worked out well in training, but went to the battle, understood that he had come out to fight and did not think about how many steps to take ahead, and how much he smiles back. In terms of pluses: it always looks uncompromisingly and from a pure heart.

I am not saying that this is bad when a person conducts a battle, counting every step, but as for me it is boring. People are interested in looking at the wheelhouse when two are not fighting for life, but for death. And when the fighters go to the stalls, or in the battle of intelligence ... This, of course, is not bad, but I am a supporter of another. At the same time, I am improving, trying to find the middle ground.

There are people who are interested in watching who will outplay whom. But I want fire in most cases! Of course, each fighter has his own audience, however, as practice shows, there are guys with perfect records, and in which they are not interested in promoted. Because they are boring or their records are bloated. So it is and this is not invented by me. I am satisfied with my career.

There were mistakes somewhere, yes, but if you look at my statistics, at the opposition level, I don’t think someone will say that it was a shame to lose. At the same time, in most cases I went out with an Anderdog. Any person has a psychological aspect, the presence of a particular public. It is important for me, but in this situation - the Irkutsk region for me as a second house.

With great pleasure and a sense of comfort I will perform there. Indeed, there are serious injuries, and twice they prevented them from performing. Today I cannot say that it has completely recovered. This will happen only after the operation. But I feel good. I want to win a fight with Hero and then do my health. There was no thought then to tie it right away? After that, they offered me a battle.

At first - with a person who had a record, and we understood that this was normal. But in a week there was a replacement for Arthur Huseynov, who at that time simply demolished everyone. I was young and hot and I did not care with whom to fight. But today, I can condemn only my then coach, with whom the roads dispersed. His interest was to shove me into this M-1 and show that his fighter is there.

It was wrong and cynical in my direction. But I beat, I realized really what MMA is, what a blow is, and after that I began to feel much more comfortable in the ring. So no, in no case the desire was not lost, only motivation appeared. Also immediately against the top opponent - Yasubey Enomoto. We will not go into the nuances, but for four years you can relax on the beach, or you can plow on the mine.

It was psychologically difficult from the point of view of an informational occasion, I understood that there would be a lot of dirt, because there are much less well -wishers. And the fact that the top fighter against me does not affect. We are all people and the battle can turn in any direction. I do not put someone above myself in a cage. Moreover, I think that I could give up and win.

But if you think globally, it would not be very fair if I won, and Enomoto lost, because I had very little time to prepare. Do you like it yourself? You put more on Kon, you risk, but in case of victory you take off five times faster. The defeats are also different. You can also lose with dignity and take a step forward. And intentionally looking for a weaker opponent is not a man. Now, after 18 professional fights, how can you answer this question?

Everyone has different reasons. Someone does it for financial reasons, because there is no way to earn differently. This is a way of life. They cannot do it on the street, somewhere else. Going into an octagon, you experience unreal emotions. Adrenaline, awareness of the importance of this event, it is very cool! From the point of view of a pragmatic approach to life, I may understand what is already enough.This thought appears in my head, and then passes a month or two, and with my heart I understand that again I want to go out into the cage.

Because MMA is a way of life.
