Yousri Belgaruhi, UFC rookie, commented on his early victory over Azamat Bekoev.
"He greatly underestimated me. I saw how he talked all sorts of nonsense for weeks, and at first, I thought he was just promoting the fight — it was good for him and for the organization. But then I realized that this guy was really getting ahead of himself. Maybe he thought he had grounds for it because, although he didn't have good opponents, he had good finishes. But at the staredown, he started talking again: 'Give me the best fight you can! I'm going for the finish!' And then I thought: 'What do you even think of yourself? You have nothing for me. What are you going to do?' And already in the fight, I saw by his eyes that he was expecting something completely different."
