Ex-UNC Fighter and controversial president of the Bulgarian Mixed Martial Arts Federation (Bulmmaf), Stanislav Nedkovis again confronted with public indignation. This time it is more than shocking images from 2017 that have surfaced again, so that he had a young female champion acted in a cage during an after party.
The incident took place in Sofia after the Immaf European Championships. In the video, a shirtless Nedkov – only jeans are worn – squared opposite Ophelia TudzharovaThen a 21 -year -old European lightweight champion, while a drunken crowd is looking for. Empty alcohol lessons strewn the cage, while a live Bulgarian popular bond plays in the background.

Coercion and threats
Speak at the National Breakfast Show This morning (BTV), Tudzharova said she never wanted to enter the cage that night, but it was put under pressure. She claims that Nedkov threatened that if she refused to prove that she was a real champion, “she would be excluded from representing Bulgaria at the upcoming world championships in Bahrain.
When she later spoke about the incident on Facebook, Nedkov forbade her, her coaches and her team of all Bulmmaf activities for life.
The heated living confrontation

Recoil
