Ikram Aliskerov stated while speaking to the press that he is a top-10 middleweight in the UFC in terms of his skills.
"I consider myself a tougher opponent and I'm ranked in the top 10 in terms of skills. My manager Ali and the UFC think so too if they have arranged for me to fight Robert. They hope to get the job done on my part and they think I'm ready for it. It is right that in me they see a strong fighter," - quotes Aliskerov portal MMAJunkie.
Recall, on June 22 Aliskerov will have to fight Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion.
