“I think he is quite a serious contender,” said Fedor as transcribed by Karim Zidan for BE. “Under the rules of K-1, he defeated Sergei Kharitonov. He is tall and heavy.”

“Compared with what it was like three years ago, I recovered from all injuries. I was able to receive medical treatment for injuries that bothered me. You can decide after my fight [if I am better now].”

“I think that you will not be disappointed.”

Beyond that, Fedor declined to say how the fight would go.

“I do not make predictions. I will act according to the situation.”

An edited RIZIN will air on Spike Dec 31 at 10:00 am ET.
