Ukrainian UFC fighter Igor Losing explained why he agreed to fight Michel Pereira on May 4, knowing he had a fight with Shara Bullet announced for June 22.
"My manager called and said: "Igor, how are you doing? We have an offer: you, Michel Pereira, main card, May 4, Rio de Janeiro. What do you say?" I replied, "You know, it's a very interesting fight, but after all, I have a fight with Shara Bullet." The manager said: "Don't think about it, give me an opinion on the fight in Rio." I said it's a good offer and we need to ask Pereira. And the manager says: we don't need to ask because he has no choice because he's close to the top 15. And I said: okay, let's go, I'm ready. Buy me tickets to Rio de Janeiro. Will the fight with Shara happen? That's a premature question. We'll think about it after the Pereira fight. We'll see how I feel. Now I don't know what will happen in the octagon. After the fight I'm ready to answer this question.
