“The fight went exactly as I imagined.” I managed everything. I think I did a good job.
— Who would you like to meet in the Grand Prix final? With Alexandre Chablius or Patricky Freire?
“We would have a good fight with Chablius.” I would like to test myself in a duel with him. But Patricky is also a tough opponent, he was a former Bellator champion. I don’t know, I just wish the guys good luck and I’ll wait for any of them in the final.
Thank you very much to everyone who supported me. This is all for our family, I want to continue my uncle’s legacy and represent him in this format, without losing a single round or fight,” Nurmagomedov said after the fight.
