Первая казахстанка подписала контракт с UFC

Казахстанская чемпионка мира по смешанным единоборствам Мария Агапова (8-1) подписала контракт с крупнейшим промоушном в ММА – Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), передает Sports.kz.

Агапова могла попасть в UFC еще в августе прошлого года, однако проиграла бой за контракт с промоушном американке Трэйси Кортес (7-1), которая уже успела успешно дебютировать в UFC в ноябре.

После этого поражения Мария подписала контракт с промоушном Invicta FC, под эгидой которого провела два боя. В сентябре и октябре она одержала досрочные победы в первом раунде над американкой Алексой Коннерс (5-4) и Марилией Сантос (10-4) из Бразилии. Благодаря этим успехам Агаповой снова удалось обратить на себя внимание UFC.

Мария Агапова поблагодарила своих тренеров и команду и обещала написать о своем пути книгу со счастливым концом. Также спортсменка поблагодарила своих подписчиков за их поддержку и пожертвования, с их помощью она смогла оплатить аренду за жилье и купить еды. Самое главное, по ее мнению, они помогли ей не опустить руки и не сдаться.

"И за всё это время я поняла одну вещь: не все люди, которые обнимают тебя – твои друзья, и не все люди, которые избивают тебя – твои враги", – написала Агапова в Instagram.

Dreams Come True. This is a translation of one of my tattoos. I always knew and felt it. Today something happened that I have been going all my life to. Thank you Shannon @shanknapp for giving me the chance to show myself in @invictafc. Thanks to my teammates. You have no idea how much you mean to me! A year ago, I looked at you from the TV screen. And I promised myself that I would become as strong as you. And now we are a team. And you helped me all the time on my hard way. And now I am UFC fighter like you. Thanks to my best managers in the world @alexdavismma @alexeyzhernakov @alexandrromashov13 for their well-coordinated work. And help me in every bad situation. Thanks to my coaches who put a lot of effort and work into me @rinat_bahitovich @deoliveira_coach @kingmofh @macarraodossantos @katelkubis @evertonvvoliveira @rocco.fabricio Thanks everyone! The guys from the gym this year became my family. I came here every day, even when it seemed to me that everything was over, and my dream never come true. I woke up every day, and watched the inscription on the sheet that I would fight in the UFC in 2020. And I went to ATT. Fighters from all over the world, from different states, are training there. And we have no one here but each other. We are really a huge family. And I'm incredibly happy that there are so many amazing people around me, and that I have become part of a huge family. In one family you are born, and one family you find(c) @brian666werner I'll write a book soon guys. And now this book has a happy ending!

In a couple of months I will be in the resource to send each of you a thanks gift. Thanks all my friends for supporting me!

And not all people who beat up you - your enemies. @amandaufcribas @amanda_leoa @joannajedrzejczyk @maryna_moroz_ufc @markaomaluko @valerieloureda
