Robelis Despain, Olympic taekwando medalist and UFC newcomer, wants to face a ranked opponent in his next fight.

"I want to be a champion. I want an opponent who is ranked in the top 15 or top 10. I'm already physically and mentally ready to start facing top opponents. I know it will be difficult to find me opponents. My managers and the league had a hard time finding me an opponent for tonight because everyone wants to fight for the belt. Nobody looks at guys who are at the bottom of the rankings, the division. Now it's going to be a tough job for my managers. I leave the question of finding an opponent at their discretion"‎" - quotes the words of Despain portal MMAJunkie.

Despain made his UFC debut at UFC 299, winning by TKO over Parisyan.
