Exclusive: Valentin Moldavsky gives his prediction for the PFL Heavyweight World Tournament final

Eliminated in the semi-finals of the PFL Heavyweight World Tournament, Valentin Moldavsky (14-4, 2 NC) looked back on his fight against Alexander Romanov in an interview with DAZN News. As a reminder, he was eliminated with an accidental knee to the groin. In the final, Alexander Romanov will face Oleg Popov, Valentin Moldavsky's compatriot. « I want to beat Romanov, too, but early, I think », explained the heavyweight with irony.

He gave his prediction on the fight between his compatriot and the former UFC fighter. « I think, too, he's a very strong and big guy, but he is very dangerous only in the first round. Then he is not good at moving, not so strong. He is very hard only in the first round. That's, I think, in the first round, very dangerous for Oleg, but then I think Oleg will finish him in the second or third round. »

When asked about his return, Valentin Moldavsky said he wanted a rematch with Alexander Romanov very soon. « I hope Oleg wins against Alexander, and maybe I will fight in November with Alexander if he wants. Because our fight was no contest, I think we must fight. »
