American UFC fighter: 'I thought I was Khabib'

"The whole training camp I felt so much pressure! Every day I was wondering if I could still do MMA, if I could handle it all.

I thought I was Khabib. I thought I wore a papakha on my head and spoke Dagestani or whatever they say. I wasn't sure who I really was anymore," the American said in an interview with the UFC.

Recall that Soriano defeated Baeza by unanimous decision of the judges.
