Head of the UFC Dana White said he did not immediately decide whether to sign a contract with Russian fighter Artem Vakhitov.
The Russian defeated Frenchman Islem Masraf at the UFC DWCS 2024 Candidates Tournament. Vakhitov knocked out his opponent in the first round.
– So it was an interesting fight. More exciting than expected. Vakhitov obviously did his job, he scored a quick victory.
And I actually called Alex Pereira back to talk about that fight and that win and what he thought about it. And Alex said Vakhitov absolutely deserves a chance in the UFC,” Essentially quotes Sport White.
Former Glory light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov took on UFC light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira in person after winning Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS).
