- Do you still want to fight in the UFC one day?

- Of course, I would like to perform in this promotion. I am able to become a champion in 77 kilograms there.

- If not UFC, then what?

- They are many choices. I have accumulated popularity in the media over the years, they recognize me not only in Russia. Plus, I have certain qualities - I show spectacular fights, no matter whether I won or lost. The audience did not boo me. There is interest in my performances not only in Russia, but also in other promotions. Now, opening the veil of secrecy, I will say that there is already an understanding with one Russian promotion, there are even dates of battles. My next fight is planned for December. I can't say more precisely, because I am not yet a free agent.
