There were rumours that you had got a severe injury.<\/p>\n<p>Rustam&#8217;s friend punched me and I fell in knock-down. I fell onto the ground and couldn&#8217;t come to senses for a half of a munite. It was dirty to punch me from behind all of a sudden. And it surely affected my training process \u2013 in three weeks before the fight I didn&#8217;t train cause I had to visit hospital and regain my composure.<\/p>\n<p>It also affected me psycologically, it was hard for me to set my mind for DJ bout. Rustam had been my friend for many years, and I just didn&#8217;t expect it from him.<\/p>\n<p>ValeTudo.ru: This &#8220;Rustam&#8217;s friend&#8221;, where&#8217;s he from and how did he get involved in the fight?<\/p>\n<p>He comes to US from time to time, trains him, helps him with free-style wrestling. When I talked to Rustam, this guy came and started an agression towards me. We had a quick verbal exchange, like &#8220;What do you want? Who are you, man?&#8221;. And while we were talking with Rustam, he got around me and &#8211; I don&#8217;t even know how to describe his actions &#8211; he got around me and punched me in the back of the head.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Certainly a disturbing twist to the rumors that Bagautinov was injured going into the bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ali Bagautinov faced Demetrious Johnson last month in a one sided fight that saw Johnson retain his flyweight strap.
