M-1 Global flyweight champion, 28-year-old Ukrainian Alexander Doskalchuk admitted that in the future he plans to try his hand at the UFC, but wants to do it at the peak of his career.

"Recently, on the site of Fight Matrix, I looked at the overall ranking of fighters from my weight class. I was on the 34th place in it out of all the promotions. I walked around a lot of fighters from the UFC. In principle, the UFC is the dream of every fighter in mixed martial arts. I want to get there and it's not like a dream, but these are my plans. But this is a little later, not now. I still want to gain momentum, protect the belt. I still have a lot in stock and I feel I can add with every fight. Therefore, it's better to accelerate and fly into this dispersal there," said Doskalchuk.

On May 24 Doskalchuk made the first defense of his title, defeating Arman Ashimov of Kazakhstan.
