The first Russian to sign a contract with the Power Slap league, Denis Vildanov in an exclusive interview with marvelgamingbet.com revealed the details of his negotiations with the representatives of the American promotion.
"The main part of the negotiations was conducted by my team represented by Vitaly Tarasov and Vladimir Myshev. I guess it didn't take them very long to make the American side get in touch with us. We talked via video, it was a kind of casting or an interview. Apparently, I made quite an impression on the representatives of Power Slap. Today's geopolitical situation also creates a scenario where a guy from Russia is pitted against guys from America. West versus East," Vildanov said.
Dana White himself did not participate in the interview, but they asked me what I would say to White if I saw him. I replied, "If Dana doesn't sign me, he'll make a big mistake and lose a lot of money." I must say that they offered me an extremely small fee. Two or three times less than what the UFC fighters get. In Russia I used to get 75-150 thousand rubles (about $750-1500). Power Slap offers a little more than what I earned in Russia, more than a thousand dollars.
Earlier on his social networks Denis "Papa" Vildanov, announced that he signed a contract with the league Power Slap, owned by UFC President Dana White.
