'You're not Khabib or Islam': Lolia goes off on Gitinov and reminds him of his first loss ahead of BRAVE CF 82
May 03, 2024
The buzz around the BRAVE CF 82 showdown between Ramazan Gitinov and Prince Lolia is at an all-time high following a tirade of comments from Lolia on social media in the last week.
Recently, Ramazan Gitinov revealed that he is training with MMA superstars and the original members of KHK MMA, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev ahead of his fight at BRAVE CF 82.
The Bahraini superstar noted that he is training with the golden standard in Lightweight MMA and expressed his desire to showcase his improvements against Lolia at the event in Mauritius.
However, Ramazan's training update did not sit well with Prince Lolia, who is set to make his BRAVE Combat Federation debut against Ramazan at BRAVE CF 82.
The DR Congo fighter took to social media to launch a scathing attack on Ramazan, asserting that despite his training partners, Ramazan is not Khabib or Islam and labelled him a 'boring fighter' with zero performance bonuses.
“Training with Khabib [Nurmagomedov] and Islam [Makhachev] is good but you are not Khabib and you are not Islam, your name is Ramazan Boring Fighter. A fighter with zero performance bonus; hugging hugging like a clown. I’m coming for you,” Lolia noted.
He went on to further attack the fighting style of Ramazan and even reminded everyone about the time when Eliezer Kubanza knocked out Ramazan Gitinov in the amateur ranks.
“Since Eliezer Kubanza knocked you out, I see the loss is still on your mind, I love this uppercut that lost, it will stay on your mind forever and you will not take it back hugging hugging fighter, your all career you never even drop a single fighter down, shame. He [Ramazan] is the one who likes to hide his pretty face. I hope he learns how to dodge punches or maybe he will go for takedowns to hide his face like always, tell him I’m not his girlfriend, this is MMA. He must be a man and face reality,” Lolia added.
The fight between Ramazan and Kubanza happened back in 2017 at the IMMAF African Open Championship when these two locked horns in the finals of the Welterweight category. It was Kubanza who came out on top in the fight with a third-round stoppage and in turn, handed Ramazan his first and one of only two losses in his 30-fight amateur career.
At BRAVE CF 82, Lolia will be looking to follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman and mentor Kubanza and hand Ramazan his first loss in Professional MMA.
As for Ramazan, a rematch with Kubanza is off the table due to the weight class differences but he could get a bit of revenge if he manages to outclass Kubanza’s teammate Lolia at BRAVE CF 82.
With the newly ignited war of words, the stakes for the fight are now high.
BRAVE CF 82 will mark BRAVE Combat Federation’s return to Africa and its debut event in Mauritius. It will be the second event of the year for the most global MMA organization in the world and an exciting card has been announced which will be headlined by the Bantamweight title fight between Jose ‘Shorty’ Torres and Nkosi Ndebele.
