Belarusian mixed martial artist Vladislav Kovalyov, popularly known as Belaz, held his first stare-down with renowned Russian MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov, announcing his desire to face him in the ring.

“In December, he will fall. Let’s go,” Kovalyev captioned the video, which he shared on his Telegram channel.

It’s worth noting that Vladislav’s last fight took place on May 31 in Yekaterinburg at the RCC 22 mixed martial arts tournament. He faced off against former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko. Their bout was the highlight of the event and concluded with Belaz securing a victory via split decision after three rounds.
